I think all the airbags curl up like that. I guess the vinyl covering shrinks and pulls the edge up. I have wondered for some time if it would be possible to make a thin cut in the plastic behind the vinyl to ease the tension but I'm not brave enough to try.

Hi classic

I wondered that , when I remove the older steering wheel going to have a proper look at the airbag and see how it looks on the D4 wheel

Notice the D3 airbag is raised in the middle whilst the D4 is flat

Am not worried if I mess the D3 airbag up as it will drive me nuts if it looks out of line on the new D4 wheel , where it’s curled up at the top

Also I’m not sure ref the D4 airbags if there different after 2012 , this wheel is a 2009

Yeh i know need to get out more Whistle

Morning buddy. Going to make a start on the car, got sidetracked this morning.

Finally managed to meet up with none other than DSL to get a part of his “old d” he’s been keeping for me (nut warmer) what a cracking bloke. If your reading this Del good luck for tomorrow mate. Thumbs Up

I’ll keep you guys posted on the second strip down. Big Cry

Hi buddy

Have a good day and also just about to start on mine again

DSL AKA derek I must admit he has been a diamond helping me when I’ve needed it on the D3 ,

Think his name should be Derek the oracle Thumbs Up

Look forward to some piccies plse

Also I thought there had to be an easier way to test the mini fuses behind the glove box, so done this by cable tying two multimeter meter test leads together , Whistle

Also made up a J fuse test loop

Have a good one and nice the sunshine is out again Thumbs Up

Hiya buddy.

No progress to report. Been flat out with work. Going to make a start this weekend hopefully. Need to give disco Mikey a shout to see what’s the score with the gearbox.

Dropped my new (to me) shire rock sliders off to the blasters this week also.

How’s things with you mate ?

Hi mate

Always the way when ur trying to get on with things at home then work goes mad

Jealous ref the rock sliders , have been tempted myself

Found the battery drain, it was the electric seat memory module, pulled the fuse and dropped dramatically , main battery would normally last 8 x days before going flat , now day 16 , still fully charged

Also bought a D4 steering wheel , got cruise control switches and new styled airbag , just waiting for an airbag removal tool , can then fit that and think it doesn’t look half bad

Hope u soon make progress buddy Thumbs Up

Hiya mate.

Nothing to report as yet. Been crazy busy last few weeks. Hopefully i’ll Get to it soon. One thing I have noticed is that she’s sat on her bump stops so I definately have an air leak somewhere. I’ll add it to my list.

Very jealous of the steering wheel mod mate ! Really like that. Hope all is good with you,

Speak soon. Thumbs Up

Time for an update....

I’ve ordered a set of new valve block seals.

Work taking over my life at the moment, been back and fore lydney and Hereford the last few weeks but thankfully we’ve managed to get one site complete and the other (lydney) up to date so things calming down slightly. Time to start pulling the disco apart again and this time attend to the bits I missed or didn’t have time for last time around.

Spoken to the guru aka disco Mikey and looks like a gearbox will be headed my way soon ! I can’t wait to drive the car with a decent gearbox.

Look what turned up today ! Huge thankyou to discomikey, who managed to sort out packing and posting the gearbox even though the man is flat out busy which saved me a 16 hour round trip !




And seen as the garage is colder than a penguins cold bits I’ve dragged this beast out ready...



So here we go again guys. Body off time.
