Replaced the ccv, luckily it didn't take anywhere near as long as the guide I found said it would

Changed FCBs. 2 hours of fun. Not bad, actually; glad I have a puller, BFH wasn't going to the job. One had failed completely, one was kind of crooked on the control arm, not sure how that happens.

Today I changed the Passenger door Airbag, not difficult but in unclipping the door card the panel slipped and broke the lock pin clip at the bottom of the rod, I need to find a replacement but it isn't even on the parts list and nor is the rod, would anyone have a spare? Or be able to tell me where to find one it's such a tiny bit of plastic but I'd rather not glue to the lever in the door.

Why did you change the airbag?

I repaired my passenger side window regulator last year and when I put it all back together the airbag light came on, won't reset or anything so I'm thinking of swapping out he air bag to see if it fixes it (if not then I assume I'll have to then look into the loom, which I don't want!!)

Installed a second matching light in the boot and fitted led bulbs so I can now actually see what I'm doing in there.

co-pey,

Just saw your post when you wrapped your wood grain. Was wondering what the process of getting it all out is like as I am thinking about doing something similar to my "brushed aluminium" as its looking a bit scratched and chipped in places.
