I know its been asked lots before but just a quick one -
How do you get the clips apart (the ones with the red security connectors on) underneath the seats?
I've got intermittent airbag and serv light, seems someone has already been under the passenger seat and soldered a couple of wires...
See the former in wolverhampton turning right onto the penn road from goldthorn hill - had cup packs
the latter in walsall, had cup packs too heading towards j10 m6 on wolverhampton road
One on the penn road outside the mount tavern 02 plate
And one the missus nearly crashed into on the merridale road about 2 minutes ago coming out a side road, with grey RS stickers down the sides
When I put the clutch down or knock it out of gear from steady throttle applications/driving, the revs sometimes drop away to below 500rpm, sometimes even to the bottom of the tacho at 0rpm, then it seems the stepper moor catches it and brings them up again. As an f4r has no icv and its all...
saw the arctic non cup 182 in asda wolverhampton's car park, woman driving it. No cup packs but slash cut after market exhaust
then saw a nimbus 197 cup on the ring road going up towards the penn road, both would have been about 7pm
My mate had one, I went out in in standard then in MR 165 guise I think it was and finally MR200. Only in the last spec did it feel quick and would have troubled a 182
Gave it a full clean yesterday, all the arches washed out with pressure washer and the lips cleaned with a toothbrush. Got it up on ramps and did the whole underside with the pressure washer. Then it rained so only one picture, but its nice to know all the road salt from the winter is off it
Recently bled it or or changed the coolant? In my experience they like to settle a bit after a few drives, then you can top them up to the mark and it'll stay there
Its the stat. Mine did this, still had the higher limiter when warm yet a cooler reading the gauge.
Fitted a new stat, get better mpg etc and it cured this issue - gauge stays bang on half. Worth flushing the coolant and filling new type D too at the time
Only noticed this happening recently, sometimes if I was wash the rear screen the rear wiper doesnt sweep and just stays in the parked position. Moving the switch about to the different positions doesnt kick it into life either, even popping it into reverse with the wiper switch at position 1...
