Cheers Mr fritzle

Nah still no tar and glue remover I should be getting it this week and giving it a good polish. Gonna try get hold of a lambda sensor as EML light has came on with code P2231

I've just sat in it, had it up to temperature and the heaters were blowing hot (ish). Not as hot as I think they should be. If the heater matrix was leaking would they blow hot at all?
Cheers

They would blow warmish as its coming from the engine bay but if its not hot then it seems to be the matrix

I'm not too sure tbh my old 850's used to blow hot air in minutes and this wasn't blowing as hot but it was just at idle and might get hotter on a run so I suppose it will have to wait and see for now, if it's a dash out job i'll do it the same time as the interior (when i find one).
Right now i'm going to shop about for a lambda to get the light off

**danny-R** · Monday 18th February 2013, 16:43

Why thank you

How hard can it be, it says copy and paste lol

**danny-R** · Tuesday 19th February 2013, 13:21

Extremely bored so I've been attacking the car with a bottle of tar and glue remover and wheel acid. Just doing one wheel and panel at a time as its a nightmare hopping about here's a little before and after

Quick coat of super resin after the tar and glue remover and I'm pleased with the results. Will have to do till leet5r machine polishes it for me

It is coming along, maybe M-R-P will lend you the steps he used to get into his car when it was that high

**volvokid** · Sunday 24th February 2013, 11:05

That grill transforms it

**volvokid** · Sunday 24th February 2013, 11:07

You would have been better investing in some tardis and ironx for the decontaminating you really would have seen both products working on the white car and you wouldn't have the pain you do in your arms

I think so too. I'll look into them my mate is a valet so I don't pay for my cleaning products.
Got two Bridgestone in the boot now I just need a lambda then it's ready for Mot.
