can someone tell me what this hose is?

nice to see you putting this wee motor to rights!

Quick question I have looked about and can't seem to get it straight in my head from any of the answers i have read.(duh) The car came with a cone filter which i have replaced with one that i had new lying about the garage however everyone has told me to get a standard box back in. So i managed...

MOT failure yesterday on offside rear wheel bearing and offside front lower ball joint, grrr. so did both front ball joints as the other was on its way out, the bearing wouldnt press out of the disc, so new disc on too, and now have another year! could have done without the extra expense still...

MOT failed! Offside lower front ball joint and offside rear bearing pfff! so having both front ball joints done, the other wasn't a fail but was on its way, and a new bearing then back in this evening for the retest. 500 is a very good price!! I will say that I did get new plugs, filters, brake...

had a night mare with the old airbag serv light problem, it had been intermittent since i bought the car and for a while fiddling with the connections under the passenger seat sorted it out until the seat was moved again/ About 2 months ago that stopped working so i thoughr i would try what i...

replaced the Apex springs with new Cooksports, new offside rear caliper plus new brake pipe to connect it also added 2 new uniroyal rainsport 3 to match the 2 that went on at the start of the month.

after a couple of days of being messed about by mechanics that don't listen, I found one with a Renault clip and he switched the light off, he said it hadn't been hit. It was showing the 187 Trigger Line Configuration Coherency Error, probably because of the seat change he also said it wasn't...

I will look at that in the morning cheers.

are there definitely side impact sensors in the 172 cup as it didn't have side airbags?

2 resistors per seat we have one in the pretensor one in the airbag(which we don't think we need in a cup but its done anyway)

Yeah in the right place and 3.3ohm as it says in all the guides. do i need to clear the airbag ecu? does the cup have the side impact sensor in the sil? is that worth checking?

I know this is a common fault. The car is a 172 cup with phase 1 172 seats, for months the lights were fine then occasionally i would have to jiggle the harness and they would stay off until the passenger seat was disturbed, then that wouldn't work anymore. So we followed the guides on here...

Fitted a new K&N cone filter. :D
