Recently my airbag light comes on, as suggested above, fiddle with the connectors under the drivers seat. It's got to the stage I don't even need to get out and go into the rear door to reach the connectors, just simply switch off ignition, left hand behind me, and beneath the seat, move the connectors nearer to the seat runner, but not up against of course. Switch back on, and off I go, job done.

Took the opportunity today as I had the time to fit a replacement o/s/f window regulator to the ZT-T (removed broken regulator components from inside of door and lubricated door lock whilst in there). Noticed how dirty the outer window seal was, decided to clean it to prevent further scratching of window glass - was like a thick abrasive muddy residue so decided to clean all of them (all as bad as each other). Cleaned all the wndows afterwards and sorted the connectors under drivers side seat to put out the airbag light that had come on since I treated the car to an interior valet.
Checked the car over and decided I must replace the rear brake discs (and pads of course) as they are only contacting on about 1/3 of the disc face due to corrosion. Went out for a blat just to stretch its legs (love that V6), parked it up and decided i need to give it a good wash and polish - job for tomorrow. |

Worked on the car today in -2 while doing the usual seeking constant reassurance over the phone from my friend. Replaced both track rod ends and both front droplinks.
Nice and easy on one side however on the other side I had to cut the droplink off. I then discovered about 1/4 of the bracket which the top goes into was missing so rather than having a hole to put the link through, I had a fork shape to slide it into. I thought I'd cut the bracket myself by accident but realised it had already been broken so I felt less depressed about it. Have put two big washers either side of the bracket as my friend suggested but who knows how long it will last |

Changeing alternator on one of my diesel tourers. Not a job to be attempted at the roadside bumper,crashbar,rads out move various pipes and power steering pully then you can with a struggle remove the alternator and replace drive belt whilst you are this far in. Tommorow finish rebuilding it.

Today I decided the Connie has to be scrapped. Thanks for the guys who gave me tips/advice but the gear change issue proved a step too far for everyone I contacted and throwing a wad of cash for an MOT on a car with a further issue that I can't get fixed makes no sense.
