Greased up the bonnet release cable connector box and added ziplock ties to the cable outers.

Cleaned and sprayed underseat airbag connectors with switch cleaner and resolved the airbag fault warning light.

Tried to work out why HRW doesn't operate. Relay functioning ok. Power to relay present when switch operated. All fuses ok, but appears not to function at all. Think I may need to dig into wiring at the back - any suggestions?

I miss my 180

on mine under the c pillar cover drivers side there is a black box (niose supressor) my HRW was only half working replaced the box fully working again worth a shot

I had to drive to Cleethorpes this morning, and as we arrived my car clocked up its first major landmark.

If you left Cleethorpes unscathed, then it made its 2nd in quick order!

Actually on Sunday night: swapped the crumbling case of my ignition key for a good one. What a job it was to swap the blades. It was worth it though. I have a genuine key without any cracks or bits missing now.

mark.

the repair kit arrived today, now fitted and all working as it should again.

Fitted the extra door seals today and had all but one of my engine mounts changed as the drivers side hydramount would not come out, so I managed to source the genuine rover tool to remove said mount.

Good old eBay imported from America, didn't think I would find one so easily.
