Passed MOT yesterday at Volvo dealer with 0 advisories - Flew through

Later that day though, airbag light on

Tried playing around with the plugs but still on. Think the problem is fixed but off to Volvo after work tomorrow to get light switched off as I believe there is no other way of getting it off

Took out the heater control panel to measure up for an LED backlighting refit using a striplight kit made for use in a PC

Seems possible. Purple heater controls here I come...

I think the issue is sorted just the bulb can't be reset till Volvo have done it.

Should be all sorted tomorrow.

Also getting air con re-gassed at Volvo for £15 Better than the £90 they usually charge to drain, change whatever needs doing and a regass

Joys of family discount

Refueled it this morning after after as after refitting the clocks to ensure good plug fitting and altering the position of the fuel pump alignment i didn't want to run out of fuel after so many miles.
normally mines does around 320 to a red light but last week went to Skeg so was at 360 this morning with still plenty left. It took 50 litres to fill which is great so its all working fine as max ive ever put in this is 62l
MPG was showing 30 until i filled up.

Fitted phase 2 light cluster, also fitted bsr heat shield for the induction system, evo calipers also went on with evo discs drilled and grooved, and the braking is immense, also installed the fk coilovers and I don't think there's a round about I haven't been round, love it and the t4 runs really well at 24psi with supporting mods, actually flies. Oh yea got the rear windows tinted 95% and it looks the dogs b******s.

2 weeks and the fully forged lump should be going in.....
