Hey guys I'm swapping my ff with ac alternator set up to a 172 cup one, I can't find a guide anywhere is there one??

I have used the s9b from the ginettas. They are a hard tyre but offer a suprising amount of grip even when cold..... They have a very stiff side wall so great with lower pressures

I used sown threaded bar and washers with large sockets to wind it out. Simple.

Hey guys. Im im just trying to ascertain if the CAL files are linked to an individual car via the vin no? I have updated the ecu software but it keeps failing loading on the CAL map this is a map sent over by another member. It is the correct one for the ecu software but just won't load on...

I have tried messaging you mate but your inbox is full. Did you send the parcel over early In the week as I haven't received it..... jim

Mick I will have to pay u a visit when I get the car insured and get you to check it out as just disconnecting the airbags in the seats hasnt cleared the lights. Jim

So now the light is on I need to get the module altered to accept the seat airbags? Or disconnect the airbags and have the module faults cleared on a propper diagnostic system? Jim

It is all connected up ok. I have now crimped both connections on the pass seat as one was already cut of when I got the seat. Airbag light is still on....

check the large solder joint (fused connection) on the battery positive lead that goes round to the started...... I had the same problem, it clicks as it throws the gear out on the starter but wont turn it over...

Also why do people bother with soldering the cables when they could just crimp them with barrel connectors?

So plugging it in to CLIP diagnostics will tell me which connector is at fault???? That's a clever bit of kit then isn't it! Your not being helpfull with your comments mate. I wasn't after a definite solution to my problem! Just wanted to know if the seats had been changed ffrom cup ones with...

Ok thanks mate. I will look further in to it. Am I correct in thinking its the black and red connector that the problem is caused by on the pass seat? Jim

No they don't which is why I'm asking that if retrofitting leather interior could have caused the light to come on? Jim

the normal question is why is it on.... I want to know if it could possibly be on because the seats have been changed from cup to non cup simple as!

the difference between ph2 172 and 182 seats are that the 172 seats have grey alcantara with a black fleck and 182s have a gery alcantara with a white fleck... I currently have a 172 drivers seat and 182 pass seat for sale if you are interested.... Jim
