Rear main bearing seal on V8 100 series was done at 300,000km. Just had 330,000km service and the seal is leaking slightly. Would have expected it to last much longer. Towing 3.2t van.

Hi there. Does anybody know if there is a Tpms out there that can have more than 4 sensors on a bluetooth set up, ones with a higher limit than 50 psi. These factors seem to be limiting the choice out there. Any info would be great, thanks. Kezngaz.

Does any-one know where one can get Fiat Ducato keys cut at a reasonable price ? My friend doesn't have a spare, and doesn't want to spend around $700 for one. I think she can get one cut for a lot less, but she's been quoted about that figure by the Ducato Dealer. Cheers, Sheba.
