My 180

[L30NPB84]

Well I went from happily owning a 120, to deciding I wanted a 180, selling said 120 and buying 180 in the space of a week.
It was the one for sale on here.
Its got the usual bits added to it, the sheddist kit, catch tank, VIS indicators.
Additionally its got the exterior mods that I wanted on my 120. The 180 kit, wind deflectors and clear headlights.
I dont think there is anything that I want to do to this car. I love it just as it is.
So i'm just going to keep driving her as she is, and hope she gives me years of driving pleasure and fulfilment

I've got the Polish dude at the car wash to thank for the wash. But in all fairness it was kept in great condition by the previous owner.

That's my car!..............Oh no it's not mine anymore...........feels a bit strange seeing pics of her posted by someone else.........feel a bit jealous!

Is that normal??

Glad you are enjoying her Leon, looking good, like the plates

Sorry to drag up an old thread.

I love my 180 but need something bigger

I really want to get a ZT-T 1.8t, but there are a few things that need doing to my car first.

Fit heated seat pad to drivers seat (passenger side already fitted)

Get heated seats to work - switch illuminates but no heat - relay possibly?

Top up power steering fluid - pump whines when engine is cold.

Fix thermostat housing - kit from dmgrs. Does the inlet manifold need to be removed?

Engine service - got the filters etc, just got to get around to changing them.

Fan speed 1 doesnt work - resistors maybe, but usually 1 & 2 go.

AC doesnt work - needs topping up, but the fan doesnt kick in when i switch the AC button on - relay or fan buggered??

Any advice regarding the above?
Cheers

See if you can replace all the PAS fluid, it should be pink but I bet it's black.

Are you getting power at the plugs under the seats?
Did you fit the relays?
Do they click when you press the switches?
What about fuses?

The blower resistors fail on 1 first.
The one in my MGF is currently like this.
They can also fail on 1, 2 and 3, happened on my first ZS.

The A/C fan will not work if there is no gas.
Nothing in the system will work if the pressure switch isn't seeing gas.

[talkingcars]

I managed to replace the thermostat by removing the throttle body but it is fiddly and my hands are quite small.

[L30NPB84]

The heated seats were started by the previous owner, i haven't had a chance to check the relay box

[L30NPB84]

I'll be able to check the fuse box and heater resistors soon because I'll be replacing the pollen filter. The heaters packed up on my 120, i bought the kit from dmgrs and soldered it myself. Need to dig out the soldering iron.

Not checked the colour of the PAS fluid.
Is there a way to drain the old fluid?
