Is this the piece that fails or have you heard of other pieces failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobblah Member 3 Member For: 11y 7m 30d Posted 26/05/13 02:16 AM Share Posted 26/05/13 02:16 AM This is a bit unrelated but, does anyone know how hard it is to instal a solenoid so that you can switch the rear brakes off via a switch in the cab for skids. My car is a 2011 FG XR6T can this even be done or will it mess with the ABS/ESC? has anyone done it or heard of it done?Sooooo... Anyone?? Linelockers anything like that?
