If you get it sent to your dad in the US i dont think the shipping will be too exxy. You can get the service kit with the wrench from them too

Common haldex problems, you may be missing or have a failed orange 5 amp fuse that actually actvates the electrics for DSC ESP and Haldex essentially making your car work as a front wheel drive.
Number 17 from memory, (!) <----- A logo like that is in place of where the fuse should be

Your filter can be so gunked up that there isn't adequate circulation and pump burns out.

Or my personal favourite, the cable connecting the controller to the main harness is loose, (SUPER COMMON).

Might save you some dollars, all the best.

Hmmmmm the ABS and ESP are definitely still working, so I don't think it's the fuse.
Could be that the filter is super dirty, but I'll just replace it anyways.
Yeah ECS has the same price as Mike said he would be able to get it for.
Definitely food for thought.

Thanks guys
