There's a hell of a lesson to be learned, not only on airbags but many other topics as well. Ten years ago I changed all my bags together with discs callipers pads and shockers. Last year I towed a caravan on the bumps from Valencia to malaga and beyond. Inflated the whole shooting match with...

Second the starter motor patent removal tool. The comic shows miles of extensions on the hex drive. By the time the twist is taken up impedaments prevent any turning. What a laugh I had until I cobbled up my bespoke starter remover. Has anyone noticed nothings hard on a P38? It's made to be hard.

For the likes of me........ 200 times:(

I'm adjusting the axle/body so the bag is straight and unbuckled but not extended. Fire the car up going through the lift stages. In truth, I haven't paid that kind of respect until I got into this mess. Got no means of inflation other than this. The degree of crank is quite noticeable at...

In a previous life when I had to rely on nicotine loaded jack sockets etc I used polypropylene ......... Something..Easy for you to say which I bought from the chemist. Now I just buy the cheapest squirty cannisters off eBay.. It's called contact cleaner by bods more in the know than me. Hijack...

Thanks I've clocked that. Do air bags rely on air pressure to seal? I can't get bubbles now. I just can't get the pump to stop running for more than 10 seconds no matter what I do. The left front sensor height readout is always up to 10 points below the front offside. I've switched sensors back...

Got the shockers on right. Checking my installation. Looks like I'm paying the price for carelessness.

Guess what........I've got myself into a real pickle. I've given the whole suspension from ecu through pump and valveblock a double checking over. Renewed all airlines. Damn me, the pump still keeps running. The only thing left was the compressed air tank. I absolutely covered it and myself with...

Matron's thought of That. As a p38 case, it's a bit of light relief.

Unexploded bomb.

It was my pump! All the faults we're there ie. Damaged airlines which caused the pump to go west. Riding on the bump stops for 500 miles which wiped the bags out. I put a new pump on and got back but, with ongoing Faults. I did the 1750 miles with the pump running non stop virtually. All the...

OK. OK. Okay. I'm sorry. Matron's dealt with me and oh! Those bloomin wires on my head. What I'd done with this UXB was to have shoved the top R clip beneath the top mounting cup which only left part of the clip outermost where it should be. On closer inspection I could see the distorted metal...

Certainly. Years of being ripped off teach you cynicism. I will do exactly that, as you suggest. I've proved the the nearside front was up the spout. Resistance one minute open circuit the next. Luckily Matron hadn't emptied the bin and I was able to retrieve the one remaining that was in one...

Petrol filler flap ?

I've played at consumer rights a few times over the years and at litigation not to mention returning stuff for credit/refund. It all ends up with an eternity of wrangling, coaxing and threatening. Even with a satisfactory outcome, someone has had your money for a month or more. Multiply that by...

Wiring has crossed my mind. If the loom takes the same path as the airlines, it's taken the same scorching. Back down and under this morning. It's getting harder and harder to get back up again these days. I'll meter them all and swap over. Regards all. P.

My logic exactly. Get ready to laugh me off the planet. The sensor readings are absolutely all over the place. I can get a momentary reading that makes sense out of NS front by making and breaking the connector with a bit of wiggling of the arm. The NS rear seems to read in the ball park but the...

Thanks. As it happens I have fitted shockers. Can the airbags be reassembled? There was air in the system when I lowered onto the standard height blocks. I was targeting an extended height well within tolerance. As the supplier suggested there was evidence of turning. I,be done this job eight...

Just when you thought you'd seen the last of me. Whilst calibrating my new EAS I raised the car to extended so as to remove the blocks, the brand new off side Dunlop bag went bang. The bit that rolls up and inside had separated from the rest. The supplier reckons I'd installed it wrongly and it...

The penny just hasn't dropped yet with the pulling of the delay timer technique.im failing to see the logic altogether. I'll do a bit more homework in fairness and in view of the effort everyone's put in.i doubt this is goodbye for ever, somehow.
