My fault - I've now changed it.

Didnt do anything to the 75 today mainly due to it sitting under 4in of snow that fell this morning. Roll on spring!

No snow here yet, but temperature is -2 and dropping quick. Bbbrrr.

Despite -1 degree weather and ice aplenty, I changed the throttle accelerator pedal sensor.

I am now down to just 1 fault code - P0222

So close......

I got hold of some Powerlex wishbone bushes a few weeks ago, but have not yet got around to fitting them because I do not want to lie on the drive in this weather. Although I really need to get it done as soon a possible as the old ones are pretty much knackered now.
Also, I have not yet worked out how to use my FBH as it had been modified by the previous owner and I have no idea how to make it work.
Other than that I have not washed the car for a few weeks, but I do use it a lot, and it would be a shame to make it dirty after investing my time to make it look nice lol.

Your fbh should start up itself at around 5deg. Drop Artic a private message on here and he will tell you what to do. Minus 5deg last night. Went to Morrison’s at Walsall yesterday, and had used the switch to put the fbh on. Went and did the shopping, came back and I could here the hum from the fbh, still going. We had been in Morrison’s for just over one hour, and I had forgotten to turn the fbh off before we went in. I thought that it would have almost flattened the battery, but no, it still started in minus 2 deg. Sigh of relief. The car soon warmed up very quick.
