Adjusting sliding door fit

Hi All

I noticed the other day that the back end of my sliding door is a little low and would like to raise it up a little to line up with the rear quarter panel.
Anyone got any tips on how to do this before I take the side of the van off?????

Cheers
Rob

Re: Autohome Interior 'Recommisssion' - Help Needed

Hi Bryan Electrics first. Is the plug on the 240v mains hook up circuit. If so, it will only work when the van is plugged into a mains point via you external hook up point (under a flap on the side of the van). If it is, then check the consumer unit. This is a simple "fuse box" that is des...

Anyone used a diesel "power box"

Hi All
Anyone chipped a normal diesel car with a £90 ish "power box" type product freely available on e-bay. The sort that just plugs into the common rail sensor.
Do they work or are they just a scam?
