The springs are self levelling one's made by Boge, fitted at 54,000.

Yep, I'll be here next weekend  :y

Your both welcome to come over...or I can come to you?

No harm, the sensor is knackered (we hope) anyway.  Really, really hope its not the wiring.

Don't mind, out of interest, do you have any self levelling rear shocks?

What if we plugged them the other way around? (swap pre-cat to cat) Should prove if its loom issue?

You wont see it flick rich/lean, as post cat sensor should always read lean.

If the loom reaches, heat the car up (essential), then swap the front sensor lamdas over. If faults moves, according to engine ecu, to drivers side, it has to be sensor :y

You could tell this from pedal trick (if more codes beyond the ones there now appear)

Tell you what, bodywork wise and underneath, its a corker. Could do with a wash and polish, but even with body plastics off, its so good.

Doorcards are messy, and a few 'soft touch' peels inside, but a superb base to start a 'keeper' project from :y

Nice looking project there tunnie  :y

BTW you could have used brake cleaner on the sticky mess left by the tints as long as you spray it on a cloth first and use carefully so it doesnt come into contact with rubber, but if it does make sure you have a bucket of soapy water handy, so you can wash it off straight away  :y

I've used brake cleaner to remove the sticky mess left behind after removing stick-on advertising signs stuck on door panels.......once i'd got the mess off, i just washed the doors down.....the paintwork didnt get affected  :y
