Glacier White 200 Cup

I don’t think the proper cups had the switch

Was it that two pin switch that I sent you on instagram?

I never had a switch. Only thing keeping my airbag light on is I must've still had the side impact sensor connected when getting the light coded out as I only have a warning for that and when I reconnect it to the loom the light goes out.

I have still got the drivers lateral sensor and passenger lateral sensor coded in to my car. If I configure CLIP to say that the car is "without" those sensors I get an open circuit error.

Weird. My passenger one is coded out I think because the only fault I’m getting is driver side lateral sensor. I don’t have clip so can’t mess about myself

Alex at AW Motorworks helped us work out how to fit PMS top mounts to Gaz Gold front suspension.

PMS sells the top mounts with spacers sized 20mm or 22mm and on their web site they give options for different suspension manufacturers, but not Gaz. We have now discovered that Gaz use different sized components to most other manufacturers.



I have taken some photos of how the washers and spacers are arranged at the top in case anyone else puts PMS top mounts on Gaz Golds.



We have used the 22mm spacer. The spacer is not a tight fit around the top shaft of the strut but as it is sandwiched between two washers I have been assured that it is fine.



PMS do make some very well engineered products.



The plan is to install the top mounts/suspension this weekend and get another alignment done next weekend.



We are trying to get a bit more caster in our geo setup. A standard Clio 197/200 comes with a fixed 5.8 degrees of caster. Our Gaz set up has given us up to 6.5 degrees of castor but where the Gaz setup is currently set up with 4 degrees of camber it is only giving us 6 degrees of caster. If we follow the PMS instructions and shave off the lip of the strut tower we should be able to get more caster and give us the flexibility to get more caster.

I have now sorted out the airbag light.



All of the airbags have been removed from the car including the curtain airbags and passenger side dashboard airbag. Those changes caused the airbag light to come back on on the dashboard.



We had also removed the airbag switch which sits on the drivers side of the car on the very side of the dashboard which you will only see if you have the door open. As I could not find a way to code out the switch I put it back in today.



I will cable tie the switch out of the way.



Now the airbag light has gone.
