Hi you only re adapt the G450 sensor if it is a new one and its a lengthy process as you have to regenerate the DPF a couple of times before fitting to give the new sensor almost zero soot in the DPF to give it a chance to learn its values from scratch, the other sensor with the pipe that hangs out with no home is a G505 sensor which measures soot loading against outside barometric pressures, personally I wouldn't bother with G450 UNLESS ITS NEW as it must be working ok to have picked up the fault in the first place. Steve.

Alan. Try a car breaker. Many are online and will post the part to you.

Hi no worries I am sure you will find one, Ford wanted £300 for a new tin sump so £80 for threadworx was a no brainer, let us know how you get on. Steve.

Um!? I certainly wouldn’t try the bodge of thread tape. Self tapping plug? Never seen one. A correctly retapped new thread and oversized sump plug would be one way, but you will first have to go down the route of finding a suitable ‘oversize’ plug, then buying (expensive) the correct thread tap for it. Hellicoil? possible but depends on what wall thickness you have around the current plug socket. Ease of removing the sump pan on your model? Safest bet is to renew the sump. OK, could be expensive, but cheaper than an engine rebuild if the current plug decides to leave home. Kind regards, Gareth.

Ah I didn't notice I could contribute. Would be good for the site to have a nicer layout but that's personal preference. I'll sign up this weekend and check it out 🙂

Nope, definitely not. Also there's different versions of c5 headlights. Allroads had xenon's but they're a wider headlight was the allroad is known as a wider body (s6/rs6 also wide body) compared to narrow body cars. Also facelift and pre-facelift differ too. I've been looking into it myself for my 02 facelift model. But for facelift narrow body cars they're rare. Some final editions has them though.
