Busy morning this morning!!
Job one, i have changed the ignition coil pack. the car seemed to be missing slightly under accelleration. as it turns out someone had fitted one before but the wrong one, it was from an early 1.2 16v and not the later one. I started it with the new one on and it was running terrible, HT's were put on in the same order as the one which came off, so i swapped 1 and 2 over and hey presto ticking over nicely
Job two, cleaned the throttle body again to hopefully help it run a bit smoother and i had a throttle body fault code so hopefully this will help make sure it does not re occur
Job three, messed around with the air bag connectors under the seats, cleaned them up and the service/airbag lights hovnow gone out.
All told a productive and satisfying morning, replacement coil £10.00 from a scrappers and carb cleaner £4.00, job done :smile::smile::smile::smile:
