    SRS issue please help

    I think I have managed to fix it by luck more than fault finding. I checked all the connections looked at the wire diagram to trace the wires and it turns out I have fitted the wrong crash sensors. I by chance bought what I thought was the wrong one on eBay and tried to cancel the order but the...

    SRS issue please help

    SRS issue please help

    I did read it was coded to the vehicle and I am hoping it’s not that because the code reader is picking up faults after the module if that’s how it works? I am getting pretty frustrated with it but I suppose that’s the joys of having an old project car.

    Yea there is no history of any gearbox servicing. It looks fairly simple for an enthusiastic amateur It broke down today, running really rough, stalled a few times and the exhaust gases smell really bad. OBD suggests a vacuum leak or o2 sensor issue so I need to try and figure that out.

    Enjoy my first weekend with my new project, replaced the antenna grommet, water pump, belts, tensioners and the drivers seat bushes. Took it out for a blast and it now looks like the oil filter housing gasket has gone so that’s the next job on the list. The auto box does seem a bit slow so I am...
