Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Ok so quick update: Still puzzled Checked all the leads and everything seems to be in order, there is one end of a loom free at the front of the car behind bumper that I’m sure isn’t needed but I could be wrong (pic attached) The ABS is more of a puzzle as everything has been cleaned and checked yet...

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Drove the car a “little past” the drive to see if it made a difference but sadly not Sounds like a plan! I will spend tomorrow morning checking leads and cleaning the sensors and get back to you. I’ll also disconnect and reconnect the bumper airbag sensors :) A lot of pressure as these 2 issues are ...

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Thanks Admin :) I have only turned the car around on the drive as it’s not got an MOT yet, would that not be enough? Confused as to why would several working sensors flash up just from replacing disks and pads? As said I did not disconnect the sensors from the wheels. Everything is connect as before...

Re: Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Hi, I’m trying to read the OBD1 ABS Flashes - how do you translate these into numbers? There’s long and short flashes and I can’t establish a break between them. No way to upload a video either but if someone wants to private message an email for me to send a clip. Also - The airbag light on the das...

Lights on dash - Abs and Airbag issue

Hope you can all forgive my recent hounding of the forum but I’m finally finishing up the build and left the head scratching stuff until last. So I’ve got a solid ABS light on followed by a flash Airbag light (flash 4 times) on the dash. No check Engine light. Recently I have replaced the front bump...

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Interesting, when looking online I found a few variants of mechanism so wasn’t sure. Thanks for that :)

The handbrake now works I just need to correct the 15+ clicks to get it on the road :)

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Ok so I think I’ve got it… Taken the nut/screw-in piece out as it had to be tapped into the piston, then screwed it into the resus. Issue was that it had to be tapped or pressed into the piston and was a tight fit. Seems to be working just need to follow prior posts to tighten the slack. Thanks agai...

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Ok so it’s more of a push into the piston rather than screw/thread. There are no threads on the inside of the piston (image)

Re: Rear calliper/handbrake rebuild

Hi, A difficult one to convey so I apologise for that Basically I want to know how far to seat/screw down this “nut” that I’ve labelled. I’ve drawn option 1 or option 2 (opt 2 being fully seat) Any confusion do let me know haha https://i.postimg.cc/KkjrHNSZ/IMG-0024.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/jLP6m29J...
