    Central locking issue/question

    Just so you know, central locking has been fine. So clearly the loose lower catch affects the microswitches in the central catch. Nik

    Yes, if no one else is nearer. I have a Nanocom so I can read and clear your fault. But there's no saying it won't come back if its something other than the compressor. If I were you, I'd still buy Datatek's lead. You could have it by the weekend if you ordered quick... Nik

    Even if you had to do the lot, its not much different to a coil conversion in cost. £270 for the bags - but you've already done those £16 to Datatek for the EAS lead and software £22 for the pump seals AND liner £22 for a full o-ring kit to do the valve block and collets etc Now I'm not an...

    Central locking issue/question

    Lower half of the tailgate wasn't latching at all on the right hand side. Adjusted it and it's now a much firmer close and latches properly. Not sure if there are microswitches in the locks, but if there are, I'm sure that will have sorted it. If not, I'll take another look at the button.... Nik

    Central locking issue/question

    Well I've recently been having problems with my tailgate (previous thread) AND the one time I got properly locked out, it was a faulty tailgate button. I have had it out and cleaned it though - time to look at that spring and the other contacts in there.... tnx Nik

    EAS Questions and Advise

    Well it's a stupid system :) No wonder compressors wear out! I'm going to swap the drivers pack out of interest because even if it doesn't make any difference, it leaves me with a full set of spares: compressor, driver pack and valve block - so worth testing it anyway... Nik

    Central locking issue/question

    Nothing to do with remotes, rf receivers or sync :) Every now and again, but getting more frequent, the central locking operates as I drive. At first I thought someone was catching it with their elbow but then its done it with just me in. When it happens, all locks lock *apart* from the...

    Also, in Wammers guide here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f71/checking-eas-compressor-diaphragm-valve-172555.html You can run the compressor out of the car to check it works - but you'd still need to reset it and fix whatever the fault is.

    If you can get to Wigan, I'll reset it for you. Or if you are quick and can get to Warrington before 4:45, I'll do it at work for you. Otherwise, the software is free and if you can get your hands on an old OBDII cable that you can butcher, you could make up an interface and reset it yourself...

    EAS Questions and Advise

    Mine seems to drop whilst driving. Every time I stop at lights or park, it raises up. Sometimes it raises up too high and then drops down again. I've played with everything except the driver pack. I've got a used one arriving from a breakers in a couple of days so I'll swap it at the weekend. If...

    I pulled the cover off mine too. So whilst it was out, I superglued it back together :)

    EAS Questions and Advise

    Yes that's it. And no, no errors by removing it and replacing it in the morning. But... I've never started the car with it removed, so no idea what happens then!! :) Nik

    EAS ERROR. 35mph maximum

    £311 +/- if you DIY. 4 air bags (assuming they haven't been replaced in the last 7-8 years) @ £270 £25 for seals to fix compressor. £16 for Datatek's diagnostic kit. Quite an easy DIY job on the drive and don't be afraid to chisel out the old bags as the dirt glues them in! Start by ordering...

    EAS Mind of its own

    Just checked mine out of interest and despite it being 2002 model (so for a P38, fairly new :)) and no wet or damp carpets, mine was surprisingly corroded! Just had to get some fine wet/dry wrapped around a very small screwdriver to clean the contacts. I hope that wasn't the cause of my...

    Testing and replacing shocks

    I've got access to a few 4 post ramps at work (college) so I might wait and do it at work one afternoon. I guess access will be a lot easier with a ramp! tnx all for the advice... Nik

    Testing and replacing shocks

    Firstly, there may be nothing at all wrong with the shocks and the tramlining may be normal as it is on 18" wheels and I gather that is an issue. However, as I drive and go over bumps in the road there is a squeaking noise and the car is 11 years old and they've probably never been done. How...

    Rear Height Sensor Nut Thread Size

    No, sorry, but doing mine at the weekend as my rear left has failed (or the connection to it has). I noticed it was all corroded up. So if you find out, let me know - I assumed it would come with bolts like a break/disc kit does... Nik
