Spent the few days cleaning inside and out mine and the wifes car. Also did a fluid check on both.
All i ever see down my street is my bonnet up never any of the residents down my road. Even with the wifes car a mazda 6 on a 16 plate do the checks.

There are no differences beyond the type of plugs used to connect the airbags.

The SRS wiring diagram is attached, bear in mind there are no rear pretensioners fitted to the tourer models though

Washed the bird dump from the bonnet of Debs car!! Must have been a Lowestoft seagull.

Washed, dried and waxed, just in time for the rain...

Absolutely nothing with the 75, but I did take the classic Mini Cooper S out for an enjoyable drive

Replaced the lower engine mount with great results: no more clunks while accelerating and changing gears.

Removed the aerial amplifier (blue one) from my Tourer after wrestling with roof liner, with a view to install a roof mounted aerial soon. Just trying to identify the aerial connection on the amp as it seems to be non-standard, maybe just cutting it off and replacing with a normal aerial connection will suffice.

Ordered a new IACV and fuel pressure regulator in the continued quest to track down the overly rich running.

(and yes, I have done a cylinder compression and leakdown test, both of which were fine so it's not the obvious)

Later today I shall be mostly putting new spark plugs in Mo

Last Thursday I visited Gordon in Notts to pick up a pair of new brake cables. I need to psych myself up for the installation.
Then on Friday I visited MickyBoy to pick up a rust free firefrost red drivers door to replace Mo's rusty one. We struggled to get it into the boot, but it went eventually. It was also a struggle getting it out again

However, with a bit of wrestling it came out after lifting the seal off the body of the boot. No scratches or damage done

From there I went up to Rick_Sta for Mo's new headlights.
Mo has Angel Eyes now

Rick also helped me out by putting the long piece of real wood dash in place for me, after changing the clocks around.

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped me recently. I'm now going to put a proper thank you thread on the general section.
