Started work on the car this weekend, interior was seriously grubby and spent a total of 8 hours on it, jobs done: Wet and dryed all carpets De-bobbled alcantara and deep cleaned Cleaned and conditioned leather Deep cleaned all interior plastics Seat belts scrubbed Replaced silver trim strips...

Decided to sell my Saab 9-3 V6 as it was very heavy on fuel and just not much fun to drive. Having an M135i as a daily and a Westfield V8 for out and out performance I had decided I wanted something smaller, lighter and fun to drive without being anything silly. Was offered a straight swap on...

All resolved, replacement steering angle sensor turned up this morning, needed a bit of resetting to be recognised by the RS Tuner but for the first time since I have had the car there are no warning lights - dashboard looks quite dull now -)

Exactly the same issue I had, replaced plugs, coil pack and leads and better than it was before - the plugs were disgusting, bought new plugs but a used coil pack and ht leads

Airbag light off - RS Tuner was showing up as front right seat, cleaning the grey connector did not help, thought I would do the same with connector under passenger seat and all sorted - just the steering angle sensor and a sports cat to be sorted then it will hopefully get through MOT next week

Reset the steering angle sensor to midway point on yellow and still throwing up code so ordered a replacement as its obviously not working Pre-tensioner -I'll have a go and disconnecting and cleaning / re-connecting the wiring - I hate modern cars

Can someone decipher the fault codes in red below for me, ambers have now been cleared Car was bought with aftermarket steering wheel and now been put back to standard Thanks

Involves a bit of careful measuring and trimming but not exactly difficult Have used Jack at Royal twice before so was an easy choice for me - at £125 he is also very good value

Got my Royal Steering Wheel re-trimmed wheel back on this weekend, as ever by Jack a lovely job at a very reasonable price Yellow rev counter mod - I like it and thats all that matters As I had a Fabia splitter to fit I decided to do a proper job and take off the front bumper, good...

Injector cover painted silver now in place and looks much better

More progress today, wanted a light dut day after re-fitting the interior last weekend: Cleaned the seats and gave the leather a deep clean - fortunately not too worn at all so come up very well Fitted Silvertec front and rear indicator bulbs and LED sidelights Fitted new bootlight complete...

Changed the switch - does not work Tried a different regulator - does not work Relay clicks when switch is operated Any ideas what to try next?

I agree, my spare cover is being done in solver this weekend

No paint on the inlets at all, all de-burring and lots of polishing, not perfect but looks 100 times better than factory Expansion tank is on the Feb to-do list

Cheers, did have more than a few moments of regret on the inlets but once started you have no choice but to plough on
