TerminatorX5 is on a distinguished road
I had it repaired twice on the 4.6iS - once it was in Moscow, when the -40 degrees got the best of the thing, and the guy repaired it while i was waiting (I flirted with a nice girl at the little coffee shop next to his shop... I am sure KGB just planted that coffee shop with that girl to chit chat with me, as she was insanely beautiful, and did not mind talking to old, fat guy!!!!)... Ater he fixed it, somehow my ODO started to read in km, instead of 120K miles, it was like 200K kms... then, after few drive-arounds, the thing resetted back to miles... weird... I just chalk it up to many other weird things happening there... lol...

second time i fixed it here in the US, i got a repair service off the ebay, with a lifetime warranty, but never had a chance to test if they fixed it right or not, as the engine went to the engine heaven (and the rest of the car to the car hell!!!)... these guys actually followed up on me, by calling me, and asking if everything was ok...

when you remove those torxes, be careful as not to strip the heads - it cost me $70 to get the last screw out, as it got stuck...

You remove the left headlight, and wiggle your way in there - i also used "snake" adapter to get to some of the torx screws...
