  1. remove the ign key and then do the work, make sure the ign isnt switched on when the sensor is unplugged, that way it wont register any faults
  2. i fitted mine on to the side of the heater ducts both sides, i used double sided sticky velcro, that way i can pull them off if i ever needed to so no breaking or having to unscrew evertime i need to move or adjust etc, cleaned off the plastic with brake cleaner as it dries very quickly and cleans great hope it helps dude

  7. if you've gone to the trouble of completely stripping down the engine to repalce the tensioners then you really should change the chains, the chains do stretch over time and when they fail it aint the tensioner or rails fault but the chain snapping. the rattle tho comes from worn and broken rails hope this helps a little

  15. lol all the ones that ive worked on do, what car is it??? just looked through the wiring diagrams, it shows the switch, relay, heater elements and temp sensor but doesnt show any sort of contact switch sure is it the fact the only time you have them on is when your sat in the seat

  19. hi mate, not sure if the keys can be made off the service book codes, you'll have to ask the parts dept tomoz, how old is the car??? you might a built in immobiliser which will require the key to be coded, this will require the car at the garage. you could try one of those mobile lock smith's sometimes they can make keys upto match the lock.
  20. does it run, yeah it runs, i turned it over for 30 secs with no plugs in and coil disconnected to build up the oil pressure then put the plugs in but still coil unplugged, then plugged the coil in connected leads and it started it up, it started first turn of the key and ran on all 6 with no misfires, was chuffed
