Car sold can a mod delete this please.

Ive only just purchased my car so am still learning where everything is. I was looking under the passenger seat and noticed that it looked different to the drivers side. It looks like the airbag cable has been hardwired. Can replacement plugs be purchased? if so wheres a good place? When i get the plug do i have to disconnect the battery when i replace it?

Yeah I had it reset but it just comes back, Uprev on the list for next year.

When the code comes on does it make the engine behave differently? ie alters fueling etc (like limp mode)

Cheers for the info.

The chap i bought the car off last week said he only ever so the code once and that was before he fitted the spacers. So something must be ucked.

Does anyone know which of the sensors my error relates to? left or right on the HFCs or is there any sensor further up the exhaust?

Have you got the spacers on the OT sensors? Id like to get rid of the engine management light so want to get this fixed....

I did search but could only find the long list of codes but not an explanation on how to fix it.

I have DTC P1147 and P1167 (Ho2s2 B1) Ho2sw B2) error codes

P1147 Heated O2 Sensor 2

P1167 Heated O2 Sensor 2

I have HFC and apparently I have the spacers(according to the previous owner) (if i didnt wouldnt they both throw up errors?)

Any ideas?

Started at 07:00 today finished at 11:00, right arm and wrist is now buggered.

So glad im finished

I know this should of been in the detailing section so apologises.

While cleaning the car I found a 2cm hole.

Anyone got a good way to sort it or know of a repair place thats affordable in or around Surrey?

So Im pooped now, started at 08:00 cleaned the car (two bucket method) clayed the front wings, bonnet and bumper. Then did 2 passes by hand with AG SRP. Looks a dam sight better than before and then I did 1 pass with some zymol wax I have. Uber shiny and now protected. 2moro will be doors and rear of the car if I get time before the sun hits the car.

So 1st pix is of the roof after it was treated. Lots of beading!

2 passes with SRP

Waxed up

Then used some poorboys wheel wax. Shiny

Windows Cleaned with AG and then RainX'd

Some bits to commence the cleanse

Car foamed

No beading on the roof

Used the meg brush to agitate the 303 hood cleaner. Rinsed off and then painted on the protector

I'm looking forward to seeing the beading 2moro

While I was waiting for the hood to dry and hovered inside, used the poor boys natural on all the plastics and then cleaned the leather seats and then treated them with balm.

2moro it's time to clay, polish and wax

So P1 service with zmanalex supplied kit.

Find out both front tyres are fecked, one has multiple bulges on the inside wall but both are stepped on the inside of the tyre, I should of checked properly. So 2 new fronts fitted and tracked £330.

Engine management light came on earlier so checked on the computer something to do with the O2 sensors.

I'm just waiting for the sun to set a little before I start the deep cleanse

I will check cross member. What moving parts of the hood should a ptfe?

Pix to follow

Just picked up my 1st zed. Azure roadster tomorrow is going to be a long day cleaning. I can't wait

Flyboy are you still doing these?

I'll be in till 1 on Saturday if you wanna come over and try the lance. Sunday might be difficult as the tour of Britain is on.

I definitely will do mate, thats grand of you.

The wait will be worth it.

 

I'm going to hand polish my car 1st see how that goes and then if I can't correct the issues I'll get a DA. Then your welcome to borrow it.

You can let me know how you get on if you like fella, I've got a DA and I'm only in Dorking, might be around Saturday, depends what the garden looks like after weeks away

 

what about your back !

And are you not using the Shiney stuff anymore lol.

I have nice new MG 220 and microfiber correction system lol

How's the leather looking:)

Oh and I am in Morden but papa smurf is older and wiser and lots of experience,in these matters of shineyness !

Sparky, I've got the nilfsk, foam lance and magi foam if you wanna try it out before buying. I'm a couple of mins from leatherhead. Chris

I've got some lovely zymol wax for the paint work. Are you thinking of poor boys natty paste?

The wait will be worth it.

Just down the road then I have a foam lance, 2 buckets with grit guards, Bh clay, Ag srp, poor boys natural interior paste, symbol wax and loads of other jazz. I have a huge drive if you wanna come over clean I should have the car by Friday so will commence cleaning then as I have the day off.

Hey mate, it has more than swirls goons need some tlc. Where are you in Surrey? Shame there's no where to hire the polishers from.

Ill be picking up my Z this week but it needs a lot of inside and outside love. The only bit I'm going to struggle with is the paint correction. Do any of you boys/girls have access to a Rotary or DA polisher and a paint depth gauge? I'm happy to buy a DA polisher and pay you for your time to help me use it.

Any help/advise greatly appreciated.

No pix yet as I used it in my Ibiza, won't be picking up the Z till the end of the week. Then I've got a hell of a job to clean it up........

Ordered some of the above and it turned up today, what an excellent addition to my cleaning arsenal.

Highly recommended.
