Today I did something to my car (volume 2)

So, I had a few spare hours today after cleaning my new seats with Auto Glym leather cleaner (fantastic stuff btw) so I went fitting them.Got a surprise opening to go collect some black leather heated seats today.
bit dirty but no scratches, rips or tears.
Now, I wonder, am I so lucky that they'd be plug and play in a car with the heater controls and pre wired??
I had tried to do it the proper DIY way and install the elements myself, but the parts were too expensive to source.
Firstly, I knew my car was pre wired for them, and I had bought a replacement heater control panel with heated seats previously, as my fan control was acting up.
If you do not want an SRS fault Disconnect the battery FIRST
Step 1;
Centre console cup holders out.
Step 2;
Rail bolts next.
2 at the front and 3 at the rear. 15mm socket required here.
Step 3;
Disconnect the seatbelt(1), heater (2), Occupancy?(3), Unknown(4)
Step 4;
unbolt the seatbelt. 14mm socket.
Step 5;
seat out and a good chance to clean 11 years of grime and dirt from under them.
Installation of the new ones is the same only in reverse.
Biggest success, No coding required so some lovely toasty cheeks for me this evening!
While I had the seat out on the passenger side, I took advantage of the extra space to run the cable for my parking sensors down the A-pillar and the sill.

I'm mad for heavily modified cars, man and I know you're into the MCM idea of doing what you like but do you not think it makes the car look messy?
It was nice and clean before the black wrap, looks messy now, like it was crashed.
It's another car forum, worth signing up for.

I love them kind of hardass track look cars like the following etc..

Ofcourse you don't... because I'm driving one.

I just don't like them cars or cars kind of like them unless they are touched up like the ones in Cians link.
The same way you might not like E60's??
Absolutely nothing against you man!0 -

Really annoying me as to what car that is?
Looks like a Volvo of some kind, but the fact it's a 3 door, I haven't a notion.
I'm going to guess Volvo S40.....
Anyways, normal service is resuming here bit by bit. First, sort the parents cars....
Some complete twit wired the lights arseways and they failed :rolleyes:
A few minutes and a bit of wire later....
Better
The Bravo had the same problem, non functioning bulb. But the bulb had blown rather than fall hands to some monkey. Bulb change is a piece of piss, remove the air pipe then the cover. 10 second job
One of Joe Lucas' finest bulbs eh :rolleyes:
It had a strange vibrating problem, the rear tyres were a bit soft (this car gets regularly loaded with coal, pallets, logs etc) so pumped them up and that's that cured, bizarrely
Finally, I decided to remove some polybushes from a 156 in the garden
Engine out tomorrow, hopefully and I lost the f*ckin key to it, the only one :mad::mad::mad: 0 -

Good days work man
About the key, reminds me of the time lately when the key broke for the e60, then while waiting for the new one the lock itself broke.
I said Ok then car off the road for two days.
New key arrived and the first thing he said is that it doesn't come coded and has to be placed In the ignition :rolleyes:.
Queue one broken window and we're away 0 -

Problem though is that I need the key for the immobiliser, access to he car isn't a problem (car is unlocked, on its side sunroof smashy smashy :pac:)
I need the key for a project car here. I have 3 V6 ecu's, 2 with missing transponders and the third is in the 166 so that's a nono
I may have to bite the bullet and get another ecu/code box/key setup
