One at a time, one at a time - please

One at a time please. One at a fucking time.
This is the kind of measures I have to resort to, in order to complete the ''electrician'' side of me and Miss Pug - at this point I should point out, she's damn lucky I have grown attached as I have.
I have a lot of respect for Miss Pug, She got me to where I am today. That fateful day, 1st March 2012. The day that went on to change my life (and my childrens') from that given moment onwards.

The day their ''Father'' chose to scream at my little girl close range, the day I decided ''enough was enough'', The day we escaped and fled for our own safety.
I can't and won't go into too much detail on here because this is purely about Miss Pug but the car enthusiast in me was always pushed aside.

I used to try to work on my 205's and get the 'Oh give it here you stupid woman' if I so much as scratched my head or went for the wrong bolt - I suppressed the car enthusiast in me for 10 long years, it was great, I left nearly a year ago and I went to my first ever motor show last year and as I walked into the field of all these beautifully polished cars and proud owners I felt warm and fuzzy inside, a little when you meet up with a good friend, you're there to look at these works of art, these people who are proud to be showing you their cars and within a few feet I saw a 205 Rallye, my heart skipped a beats, I made a B line for it, took many pictures of it - as I did many of the other cars there (especially the Peugeot's).
My love of cars is at times uncontrollable, I went out on Saturday evening and as I was brought back home, pulled up on the drive and I saw Miss Pug again my heart skipped beats, I proper love my cars, they become one of the family and I treat them as anyone should treat their car, with gentle love and respect (and of course, the odd thrashing as and when the moment takes me)

Now, so far I have done so many jobs myself on Miss Pug and although I am a long way to finishing them I am also proud of my efforts and complete tasks.
A few men have been sexist towards knowing what they obviously consider to be a very male job being done by a woman but then there have been some lovely gents supporting a woman who likes to look after her car. My neighbour for instance longs for another Peugeot, he had a few 106's the latter being written off with a deer. He made the comment yesterday 19/02/2013 that I am always out there in all weathers (very true, remember the battery and heavy snow fall incident?) and I seem to know what I am doing, I of corse laughed that off and replied 'well, I don't know about that but I certainly try!'
I of corse, am getting a lot of help from the guys on the 406oc.co.uk forum. In return of my gratitude I have bought their sticker and aim to put it inside the cars rear quarter window (in the boot essentially)


So, getting back the original reason this post was created, one at a time please kind Madam.

I have officially ''DONE IT'' (Not that, naughty!) I have CUT the seat belt pre-tensioners connections off the car. I have brought them in the house for closer examination.
I must admit that I am going to re-wire new connections and then reconnect the battery and carefully start the car to see if it cures the AIRBAG flashing light at me. If, I happen to re-wire ALL the connections and it persists (I doubt it will to be honest because last year when this fault first happened [July time I believe] a simple ''wiggle'' of the wires under the passenger seat would NOT of cured it) I will have to look at the pre-tensioners, or even consider a whole loom re-wire.
I honestly don't think it's the pre-tensioners or the loom, I honestly think the re-wiring of the connection boxes will cure this problem and now I know more about it I think it'll be a fairly easy job to do. I admit I have not consulted Mr Haynes on this problem but I do have a forum full of men behind me with this job and whilst I am not happy about being the bomb defuser on Miss Pug, it's my only option lol.

Ok - let's get heavy with the pictures again. (Please do NOT take notice to the pink laptop, I am ashamed it's in my possesion but I did not warrent spending an extra £20 just for a white one!)

This is the moment of NO RETURN. Not for these RENAULT connectors anyway, lol. (Heck get that crap out my car!)

This picture shows both connections together, as they were under the passenger seat.

As you see the 2 bars on the top of the connection box, it literally slid out of the housing on the car.
I had been told it was either stuck on with cable ties, or pressed in - but these, are slide in and out type.

Please pay no attention to the indentation of the cable, I had grabbed and tried to use something totally not suitable!

And on other news: I managed to get my nuts off (or bolts as the case maybe)
I have been having troubles with these for an age.
Then decided to use these extra lb's to my advantage.
I hooked up the winder that came with the car and I had to use ALL MY WEIGHT to get the darn things off, even then I had to jump on one or two to get the buggers un-done.
As you can probably tell by fat fingers in photographs, I am definitely a big lady but on this occasion it has paid off (just wish I'd thought of this before ordering the breaker bar and other shit) Oh well, we live and learn or if you're me, you just live. LOL

Ok - photo update on the wheels:

Victory was mine today Miss Pug :)

My Victory :)

Ok perhaps not necessary to take the other side off, but if I do end up replacing the pads, plus I want a good look under here anyway.

I am also well aware that working on the brakes you should always take precautions. Fair play I use blue latex gloves for a lot of the work on the car anyway but when you are dealing with the brakes, especially the disks and pads and cleaning - there is always a risk you can disturb asbestos. So you *MUST ALWAYS* buy the proper filtration masks, eye wear and protect yourself.
I thought I better just point that note out.

On another note though, I have removed the upper caliper bolt cover but I don't have the hex tools to undo it - Oh for fuck sake - more tools I need and yes, I officially resign! I never seem to get anywhere with these jobs, it's do a tiny bit, oh shit need that tool - abort job. Same old, same old - sick of it and yes I will moan about it. My blog 'n' all.
Over and out until I get some fucking hex sockets...........
