Shame, took a couple of goes for me but it worked in the end.

f you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it: 1. Turn the key from off to on. 2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs...

I decided to repair the return spring on the gear lever so had to remove the heat shield. I had had a look at the bolts a few days ago and they didnt look to clever. I did a search for "best penetrating fluid" and what came up was a bit of a surprise. A lot of people recommend 50 - 50 acetone/...

Why not have a go yourself? If it's just the bumper rub it down, mask the area, primer and top coat. Loads of videos on youtube and then you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and saving a few quid. Just dont rush it!

Hmmmmm easier than turning the key 3 times?

I did post these instructions at the end of a thread about removing an SRS steering wheel but though I would create a separate thread. Once I had removed the steering wheel and reassembled, I think because I drove the car with the airbag disconnected the airbag warning light would not go off...

Bit of a bump on this one, finally got around to removing the steering wheel and put it on straight, foolishly went for a test drive with no airbag to make sure it was going in a straight line. Got home, disconnected the battery left it for a while and refitted the airbag, now the airbag light...

**** happens mate, hope things are on the up for you sooner than later.

New disks and pads on the front, purchased shoes for the rear but didnt need them just a quick manual adjustment and tightened the cable - it now holds on the handbrake on steep hills! Purchased a mig.

I agree with andy - mig-welding.co.uk is a very friendly place. I'm just contemplating having a go at mig welding and found this guy quite good - straight to the point and no more chatter than needed: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJAFY2kKKb5sg79yld7T3hA

Need to do this, many thanks for your guide.

I've been away a while but back again and really impressive to see this blog still going, excellent work.

Shes now on ebay, starting price of £1500 with current pictures, thanks for the interest guys: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=191170793204&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123

Cheers for the input. All I can base it on is whats on ebay - all over £2k and a lot more miles and some without the leather interior and other goodies. Certainly welcome to an offer from the forum.

As promised I have added pictures of the dents front wing: rear bumper: Quite small just bloody annoying as both were done in carparks.
