I'll get some pictures of the wheel.

The issue with the airbag light is the airbag module is missing. We've got the light off ATM, but there is no airbag in the steering. May make sense if it is aftermarket.

If that is the case, would it possible to get an airbag working in this wheel, as the standard wheels are UGLY.

Ben was all cool, and willing to help out and fix it all. (another + for Northshore)

Maybe get Ben to replace it with the Momo "option"? :P

Haha, what does this one look like?

Anyway this is a close-up of the wheel. Sorry for the poor quality. My other camera is dead, and battery takes aeons to charge (when your in a rush).

yep thats a patrol wheel. patrol bag will fit it. as for controls (radio and cruise) have them sitting here gathering dust :)

Oh really. Interesting? Would it be hard to source the bag to fit this. I'm not 100% sure whats missing, but I think the Auto-Elec said it has no airbad module. Which I'm assuming is the whole thing.

How much for the the controls? Not that we have cruise control, it may be worth getting just in case...lol

Thanks for your help mang.

Sorry for the late action on this- but welcome to the section. Good to have another S2 around these parts.

I've been OS for a couple of months now, just got back, so it was a nice suprise to see another one here!

call me when you get a sec. easier.

Sent you an email re: our phone call.

Yeah, surprised there isn't more S2's tbh.

Yeah, I was mighty surprised to find that this was there. I'm still finding new stuff in the car lol... So f**kig cool

got your email and I am looking into it. give me a day or so.

Hey Chris,

Not sure whether Ben has spoken to you, but managed to find an Air Bag. Also not sure if he got it from you or not... He's posted it to the Auto-Elec and it will be getting done next Wednesday

ok. spoke to him a bout a week back but that was it. he didn't source it from me.

Oh right, well that sucks. I appreciate your help however. When we get round to it, I'll probably purchase those buttons, and whatev's to do the Stereo and Cruise Control...

Thanks again though.

Well we got the airbag all fixed. No more flashing light. WooI think our next step maybe the TV tuner and/or some interface for our iPhones/iPod.Thanks to Northshore for sorting it all out...

Basically we bought the car and it was missing an Air Bag module in the steering wheel. I think maybe because its a Patrol wheel?

Anyone a new module was sourced, installed and fixed it the issue of airbag light flashing.

Had a bit of an unfortunate situation a few weeks ago. On our way camping cruising along, and hit the biggest crater pot hole in recorded history of man, and guess what bent two rims :(

Ended up finding a guy in Taree who repairs them, and ended up getting all 4 rims fixed. Got the gutter rush repaired, and all dents an bends out of the rim. 3 of the rims and dents in them, and the worst one had 3 dents on the outer lip and 4 on the inside... lol

Turned out great in terms of the gutter rash. There is none at all and you wouldnt be able to tell. Kinda looks weird now, as we were used to the ugly rash lol... Was going to get the Face of the rims painted black or white, but didn't have the cash at the time, and couldn't have the car off the road any longer...

In the process of trying to get council to cover the cost, but atm they are basically saying no, we live in a high rainfall area, so they are allowed to have roads that are shit...

LOL, I wonder if that's the reason they use for all of the Victorian roads (exception: Eastlink).

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
