Project Jigsaw- complete!

My favourite wheels Stuart. They look great on the Coupe. Very like the ones I had on my silver E85 from NM Autosport. 👍

Because they are common as muck

That's why I took the Reps off mine and went back to 224s! :)

So are 107 for pre-facelift but still the best :poke:
 
Some progress.

Parts arrived from Barry meaning I could put the front end back together. ✅

Parts arrived from eBay meaning I still can’t put the aircon back together. Grrr

Still have the roof/wipers issue. Next step to diagnose that is to unplug the wiper motor. I also have no lights on the hvac panel apart from rear demister.

But I got underneath the car again and rechecked all bolts were tight. Exhaust is on and good. Attached the braces at the rear, front xenon leveller (new) attached. Popped the wheels back on as we have some light fingered visitors in the area. A couple of wheel arch liners on too.

Tomorrow is my birthday and I got the best present ever- IT STARTED AND RAN!!!!!!

So pleased. The exhaust sounded good and no engine lights (still have a load of others on the dash to sort.)

So next I’m going to get the brakes back on, the system bled and clutch bled so I can move it

A few pics

Cheers

Impressive work there Stuart.
I'm seeing a little irony that this car ONLY has the heated rear screen working. :rofl:

Can't remember if you've done it before, but I did a little write-up on bleeding the DSC, which may help.
 
As with every project you have episodes of ‘help me understand why you did that previous owner…’

Well, given the chap had already chopped out the ABS/DSC module as the kit he was going to build wasn't having ABS, then my guess would be the sensor was stuck so he chopped the loom instead.

He obviously hadn't been told that the sensor that side fed the speedo too. :rofl:
 
This is a great project. My own project had been left sat in a driveway for three years and is slowly coming together now.
Keep up the good work.
 
Some good progress today (I think)

Fitted the right carpet to the boot (duh) so it now sits properly on the blue tooth area. That feels better.
Fixed the boot lock- the pins in the socket were totalled so a new one sorts that- interestingly the boot lights won’t work until the unit is plugged in. But that’s another one off the list.
The hvac issue was (wait for it) transport mode. So that’s another ticked off!!!

Chasing the other electrical issues, I unplugged the wiper motor as it’s working as the roof is trying to move (!). Motor unplugged and nothing works (windows/roof etc) so I am thinking it’s a k-bus issue or wire earth, over an earthing issue.

I think I’ve found the k-bus terminal point. This is going to be painful!!!

Did a full ista scan- it’s basically saying it can’t talk to a load of modules

Next steps are we need to get the brakes on and the system including the clutch bled, so I can move the car

Thank goodness for a long bank holiday weekend eh

That concurs with issues I've had.
One module corrupted and it upsets everything else on the kbus so the software cant see it.
For each module with a code, you can disconnect that and see if the others wake up.
When that happens the disconnected one is the culprit.
