Re: someph-ing different...........

the plug has probably been cut off and the wires soldered together. Possibly a faulty conncetion sometime in its life. My old phase 2 had this done to it

Re: someph-ing different...........

ok chap so where should i be / how should i be looking to disconnect these? i can't see where / if it has had the wires cut, i would say not......i may be wrong though

does the plastic trim on them just pop-off?

Re: someph-ing different...........

crap pic but if you look carefully you can see the adjuster is below the

trailing arm and gives a further 10mm drop aparently. i know that mine is

low but i still have my back seats in.

Re: someph-ing different...........

if you look at yours your adjusters at the bottom of the spring mine are below the arm which the springs sit on. so mine sits the width of the adjusters lower(10mm)or so. but they are none adjustable now.
understand?lol

Re: someph-ing different...........

i do understand now yes, so do you even need the adjustment rings in there then? if they are underneath they are not doing anything?

unsure on that.think they might be on there to stop it pulling through. had my mate fit mine.just watched and with 197gaz's instructions fitted them.
was him that told me about putting it underneath otherwise would of never known :eek:

Re: someph-ing different...........

Take the bottom ring off and wind the top one down to the axle dude, Personally I dont lke leaving the spring just on the axle. You wont notice the 4mm you'd gain by taking the top one out anyway!

Re: someph-ing different...........

dave that picture is spot on......one problem...lol.....i have no plug, as burp said it might be earlier in the thread the wires may have been soldered....mine are soldered..meaning i just have wires to play with.

jay - were should i be looking for that?

and do either of you know what the small box type thing is inside the car on the door sill, has wires in and out of it

Re: someph-ing different...........

It says Bosch on it right? I think its some kind of pretensioner thing....

Erm, try soldering the 3.3ohm resistor to each end of the wires? If it catches fire, Im not to blame ;)

Re: someph-ing different...........

lol..........right.

would rather not go down the route of trial, fire and error......will see about the other idea,

Re: someph-ing different...........

Lol! Essentially its doing the same thing but I'm no electrician! I'll ask around for you fella, see what I can come up with!

Hows the shoulder BTW?

Re: someph-ing different...........

still slinged up mate, no pain in it at all, just awkward.. just cleaned the old seats up, wish the buyer would get back in touch......

need to find a T41 OR T42 torx for all the other belt bolts, i think my T40 is slightly too small.......just want to get on with it.

cheers dave, just want to make sure i get it right, bloody bodge merchants renault

Re: someph-ing different...........

Im not even sure 41 0r 42 exist mate. Get a new one and see if thats any better, Im sure mine were 40's!

I clobbered my elbow playing football the other day, all bruised and swollen again, FFS! Physio thursday....

No worries mate, need to sort mine too, contemplating ripping the airbag loom and ECU out though as Im on standalone!

Re: someph-ing different...........

i did wonder on a T41 or T42

yer the set i got was from argos.....last time i do that, the torc wrench always clicks past, none of its magnetic and obviously the bits are crappy metal thats too soft

nice work on the elbow, i don't want to rush mine...may be having surgery on the other shoulder too yet.

if i knew where to start on the ecu and airbag loom that may be an option...lol

Re: someph-ing different...........

Go to Halfords and just buy a T40, about £3!

Yeah, It feels ok, just wont straighten so riding is hard. Tried playing football and bend it back, cant win!

The ecu is in front on the gearstick. I think once it's unplugged, the light would go out anyway as theres nothing to tel wether you have an airbag deployed or not. I'll ask Ben or Fred, they'll know....

Re: someph-ing different...........

will be sorting a new T40 yes,

if you could find out about that ecu that would be sweet, pictures would be even better....i may even show my appreciation at FCS....lol

Re: someph-ing different...........

Good read, nice little project mate :cool: , what sort of weight are you aiming for? i'm heading for the gutted route on my ph2 172

Re: someph-ing different...........

not sure what weight i'm heading for, i am keeping the rear door cards for looks, but loosing other bits like a/c etc

Re: someph-ing different...........

Neil, the little box thing by the door sill im sure is the side airbag sensor. Binned mine.

As for turning the light out as said if u find the airbag ecu behind the cetre console then trace/strip back the loom on the main plug, there are some wires that you can cut and it turns off the light. As said just disconnecting wont work.
