Hi Rob, and greetings from S-Type fans in sunny Australia.

You really need to be specific in detailing what your problem is. "Rear left side of engine bay" covers a lot of territory and components. Your video clip, if of good quality may prove a big help.

Attaching pics, vids, indeed any common file type is easy when you know the drill -

• use the advanced tab (not quick reply) to start you reply post;
• below your text entry box, you will find "Manage attachments";
• click and follow menu prompts to browse your PC for file location;
• click on "Upload" and wait for it to do so;
• repeat as necessary.

Having said all that, welcome to the forum Rob. Hope we can help.
Cheers,

Ken
