Re: 806 relays+more
All part of the fun... Droplinks nearly always need at least one application of the angel grinder or hacksaw... That balljoint was bad though...Harlequin wrote:loving this car lol - siezed drop links with 1 needing grinding off , ball joint came apart when removing the wishbone and a snapped spot welded nut on the anti roll bar bush bracket...
Get it to a person who can pop it on diagnostics. Some people mentioned in the Lexia Locations thread may also have the Peugeot Planet diagnostics as part of their 'Chinese Copy' Citroen Lexias and may be happy to assist. A quick diagnostic on the airbag system can save days of scratching around...Harlequin wrote:all `nuts and bolts` work - and still the airbag light eludes me

Re: 806 relays+more
aye not impressed with the ball joint - saw it had a little play - just wasnt expecting this - got a touch on ebay , 2 wishbones for £25 new , yeah had a long thought about it and think i will - when its back mobile. ofc how easy is the airbag ecu to get to? i do believe its under the dash somewhere?

Re: 806 relays+more
I *think* having spare wires there is normal, given some models might have a different seat airbag loom and / or side airbags. I don't have any technical data on the SRS unfortunately.

Re: 806 relays+more
well its all bolted back together - nice to see its driving in a straight line - a little constant noise grumble now - doesnt vary in pitch with road speed , just 1 noise... anyone any ideas? will find some speed humps later and go over them as well. airbag light is a mystery - the wires arent live... is it an earth feed system? and the port under the steering wheel doesnt look like the OBD one , looks the older type.

Re: 806 relays+more
a little more on that `noise` - its as if something is loose , defeinately mechanical and nothing to do with speed humps , engine on or off - bah , fix one thing and create another!
will defiantely be getting it on a machine for the airbag light

Re: 806 relays+more
after sorting everything else (teach me for getting a cheap car i know)
theres now a clattering from the back en d - replaced both shocks and since its started; it doesnt matter on speed , engine on or off or turning , theres a clatter - any idea`s? only happened since changing both rear shocks

Re: 806 relays+more
Is it actually coming from the new shocks ?
With the car on the ground on its wheels grab a shock and move it by hand side to side etc to check that its not faulty (rare but not unknown)
After that it will be a case of supporting it off its wheels and checking for movement etc in various components, as it does it all the time it should not be difficult to find, hopefully.

Re: 806 relays+more
aye , was thinking maybe a worn bush - as one shock was totally u/s , might have been that way for a while - and since the bushes are original the extra stress from an empty shock could have worn it out - and now the weight is back off the back its clattering
