Re: Air Conditioning

Dale, Happy to report that I have managed to change the switch! Tried doing it on my own, but i cheated a little as i was getting a little stuck on the removal of the panel.

Re: 82-89 centre tie rod; a RHD problem?

HI jps635,
Thanks for the input… will definitely try to find a place that can help rebuild ball joints with the correct pre-loads… is there any specifications for the preload?
Meanwhile i will be trying to source for a replacement as well so that i can work on the existing worn one.
Thanks

Re: Door rubber seals

Thanks Tommy,
Do you have any pics to share so I don’t misinterpret this.
I’m also wondering where the seal sits
My problem is that I can’t seem to close the door

Hey Pete,
I know this is an old post, but I’m desperate for some pointers.
You said to cut the channel by 1/2 inch….
Did you manage to post some photos somewhere for this installation? Can you point me to them or share them across.
Thanks in advance!

Door rubber seals

Hi experts, I am aiming to replace my door seals as the current ones are original and a little worn. I ordered a set from Wallothnesh which arrived in good order. Also realised the current seals are “upgraded/improved” to give better soundproofing. Then I realised it was quite hard to install. I hav...

Looking for missing parts in the toolkit

Hi I’m looking for the missing stuff in my toolkit. I’ve think there are 4 missing pieces. Maybe more. Not sure what they are and if they are still available or if anyone has spares.
Interested to complete the set.
Looking forward advice or if anyone has spares to sell.
Thank you
