This only happens occasionally with no obvious pattern. I'm thinking maybe an iffy relay or earth? I replaced the glow plugs about 3 months ago. Ive had t...

Re: Tailgate stuck closed

Jobs a good un. Thanks for the help guys. I had to reverse to about 4 ft from my house wall, with 2 hands on the wall push tailgate with my feet while the mrs pressed the button. Took about 5 mins of cursing and puffing but managed to get it open.

Re: Tailgate stuck closed

Cheers brian. In the past ive also had trouble with door not catching properly and being awkward to open again. Cycling the central locking usually does the trick. I will try again in the morning.

Window winders and internal door handles

So I bought some second hand door cards to replace the home made one on my van. Now I have 2 problems/ challenges. 1- my van has electric windows and the new door cards have holes where the winders go. Is there a part that blanks this hole off? Or can anyone suggest a workaround. I've thought maybe ...

Water ingress cab doors.

Upon removal of door cards I've noticed the bottom corners of both door cards are wet and have become rotten. They aren't original but made of thin ply. They have gone in the same place on both doors. ( bottom corner toward the front of van) is this a common problem? Is there a particular area I nee...
