Re: Air Bag Blue Box :- Thermal Fuse
I have got a code 51 intermittent short to earth. I have checked the relevant contacts on the 2 plugs of the air bag diagnostic monitor (blue box) and they are all open circuit as they should be. The book then tells me to go to OASIS to get descriptions of wiring concern locations. It appears that O...

Re: Airbag code 51
Thanks for the reply. I had seen that list of fault codes. It says it is an intermittent short to earth which I was hoping had gone away, obviously it hasn't. I am now hoping that I can put a resistor in somewhere (not a fuse as in my previous post) that would de-activate the airbags and all the ass...

Airbag code 51
Help please. I had an airbag code 51. I changed the thermal fuse. I was lucky, I managed to get the lid off the blue box and get the circuit board out without having to remove the box itself which looked impossible. About 5 miles down the road the code 51 came back. I am sure I read somewhere on the...

Re: Trailing Arm Bushes
I measured those long bolts on my car and they are
M12 x 1.25 x 230 long, so metric fine.
My problem is getting them out of the hub where they have rusted in, any suggestions please.

Re: One job I hate doing
My uncle, a car enthusiast dentist, in the days before they started wearing those thin rubber gloves, used to say "Never go to the dentist on a Monday, other people's saliva is excellent for getting grease from under fingernails."

Re: Starting issue - maybe!
Misfiring can also destroy the catalyst. The unburnt fuel goes down the exhaust pipe and the cat does its stuff. In burning it off it gets extremely hot and eventually melts into blobs which can then block the rest of the exhaust system, in my experience with a Rover 214. In my mates experience it s...
