Missing a glow plug fuse in 1HZ ?

Just had my 105 in to get fuel pump done and when I got it back, I've noticed that where there is an 80 amp fuse for the glow plug on the lid diagram, there isn't one in place. There were issues with the glow plug light staying on when the job was done, but I was told it was fixed. Can anyone tell ...

Dont know why these guys are being dicks. I think its a legitamate question and could do without the wanker responses. I believe sidewall repairs can be done, but they cannot be repaird by plugging them. The dammage must be vulcanised and they are generally not done at tyre fitter places, rather ...

So after slashing a third near new MTZ, I'm starting to question the benefits of airing down. I have no doubt of the extra traction gained and the possible puncture resistance through the tread, but I'm starting to think that by bagging out the tyres, I'm leaving the side walls vulnerable. All the ...
