Don’t seem to be expensive or that hard to change.

The replacement sensor has arrived, I’m going to change that tomorrow.

well temps from now until next weekend are to be in the lower 30's, not what I really want to be working out on the street in. I will probably take it in and have it done in a shop. Too much stuff replaced on this thing this year. Tires, brakes, rotors, rack&pinion, and now a control arm. Wish it was an HHR, much easier to work on.....

The gift that keeps on giving. PotHole dilemma. As previously stated first hit: headlight wire; second hit rear wheel sensor; third hit fuel relay; and yes. I took yalls advice and cranked the 7mm bolts in the fuse box. Thought I had it licked; couple months past and voila! Check engine light. It’s a biggee! Shift coil. $100 part and 6 1/2 hours labor 🙁 They tell me close to $1k ...and just in time for Christmas. 😢🛷 sled down 🎅🏻

so far the plan is to put the Land Rover on a Tender for the winter, and drive the HHR when it isn't too bad out. Otherwise we will beat on the 'Money Pit' (TrailBlazer) since we dumped too much money into it.

An HHR is probably more worth saving from the salt than a Trailblazer.

Opened the sunroof to facilitate the R&R if the antenna base.
Now it won't close.
This is one time that I am glad to be in AZ.
Found one at an auto recycling facility for $150.00
Guess what my next task is.
