Took delivery of mine today , and had a little touch with these rubber things off a fuel filter at work. Cut down they will go on the end nut , don't want any sparks now
Don't want to sound off , I would never ever run bolt to hub spacers . I run the stud thru the spacer type on my Ph1 and never had an issue . Also I wouldn't want to keep pulling the wheels off to check the 4 bolts for them . It'll piss me off no end .
Is yours a Ph2 ? , if so the warning lamp may still be on over the multi plex , so I'd say the UCH needs to be told you don't have an airbag at all.
That will only work is the airbag warning lamp function correctly , in which case his is staying on , so if you connected to that circuit your...
Sorry I'm confused with your reply .
No resistors any more all gone .
Every single wire for the airbag gone .
Absolutely nothing left , oh except the bulb in the cluster which has no wire to it now lol
If yours is can networked like Ph2 then I'm assuming the light may come on after removal of ECU . Mine did as its a default to do that . Warning lamp line is earthed and boom she pings up .
But with all the wires now gone on mine the warning lamp line doesn't exist now , so no light at all .
I don't have one , I just took the lot out , power and Earth go to loom joint behind glovebox , all other wires cut out . One goes to lamp in cluster , all others from ECU go to bags and sensors . Bin that lot .
Cracking read [emoji1303]
Bloody good effort also.
Will read all of the thread later .
I'm also in the middle of doing my loom .
So far I've removed
Rear loom for wiper and lock loom
Also airbag loom and aircon/heater .
Just need to sort out the EPAS wiring while I'm in the area...
I did the same , the raised curve of the lid I pumped a little bit of sealer around the edges. I did mine across rather than down as it kept the amount of coming through the side of the tailgate to a minimum.
The water still comes in . Every time I open the lid , water that's come in through...
Couple of scenarios :
1 ) If ECU is still fitted and bags all removed , fit cheap resistors in plugs , lamp goes off for MOT happy days .
2) If loom and ECU are no longer fitted lamp will not come on anyway so that's an MOT advise then .
3 ) If loom is still in car , bags and ECU removed...
Check the inlet manifold gasket . Spray water around the inlet where it bolts to the cylinder head . The green coloured gaskets were prone to leaking .
Ouch sad times :
where abouts was your off just out of interest .
Handbrake cables off , flexy hoses off , make sure you spray up the axle nuts and bolts securing it to the car as I've heard they can be a right ball ache to undo .
If the rear shocks haven't been off in a while , spray...
