Hey Guys
i've had a browse through some other threads about the comms 2000 unit.
as you've probobly guessed i'm having problems with the pug. E.G.
-Headlights turning themselves on and flashing randomly
-Windscreen Wipers, Wiping Randomly
-Airbag Warning Light
-Indicators Don't Always Work (have To hold them on)
-And Now The Oil Warning Light Keeps Coming On
(When All This Happens I Can't Do Anything with the indicator or wiper stalks  )
when i searched for comms unit on here the threads i read only had 1 of the problems i've listed. i've got all these problems at once so have no idea if its the comms unit or not.
my dads sprayed WD40 into it to see if its iron filings that are causing the problem to see if that fixes it.
any info,ideas or fixes on why its doing this would be greatly appreciated & sorry for the essay/if someones posted these problems before

Sounds like you need a new com unit to me

lol maybe he is guna split the unit to wd40 some old parts, not likely to work tbh.
I have just got a comm unit for mine which im yet to fix, i also have my old one from previous car for sale, which i only swapped so i could get trip computer etc.
If yours is a povety spec, ie no auto lights or wipers and no trip computer then i have the comm unit for you
Save you loads fitting it yourself, peugeot charge couple hundred last time i checked to supply and fit, but then thats a brand new one.
EDIT:
£50 delivered btw

Oh and yes they did, plexing changed late 2001, so some 51's have pre and some plexed, i'd say all if not nearly all 02 plates have plexed units

Should never use WD40 on electrical parts!
Contact cleaner only
COM is f****d. Needs a new one

Rust?
Remember that when the airbag light is on, none of your airbags work.
*pretty sure thats right*
WD40 works wonders but it sounds like the plugs not making great contact.
Take the bag off and see if the plugs are clipped in fully.
