Re: Battery keeps dying

As promised after a weekend of fiddling. It looks like it’s my central locking! A while ago one of my doors had stopped locking when the central locking was activated. I thought it was just the activator, that needed sorting. However it looks like, somewhere in the wiring for the central locking, I ...

Re: 2.1 DJ Wont start when hot and possible fuel issue

Sorry to add another thing to check! Had a similar problem in another vehicle, turned out to be a fuel line that was collapsing under load. Started fine and ran ok up to half throttle, then petered out, and sometimes cut out. Stopped, pipe sprang back open and car would start again. Took ages to get...

Re: Movement in seat swivel base

No nylon blocks present, but they move smoothly. The problem is when locked in the forward position by the rod thing, the seats move a degree or 2 when cornering. So I think it’s the gap between the rod and the plate causing this. It’s only a couple of mm either side, but this equates to the movemen...

Movement in seat swivel base

Both my seats rotate slightly when cornering. I’ve took the seats off to look at the mechanism, and it looks like the locking level thing is worn, so thinking if I can fatten it up, it should stop it shifting. Anyone done anything else? Or is this just a bit of character I’ll get used to. Thanks Stu...

Re: Central locking

Thanks, I’ll have a play around, the electric mirror isn’t working either, so time for the door card to come off.

Central locking

Hi, new owner here.
My new van has central locking, it only appears to function when locking drivers door. Is that correct, or should it work on all doors.
Thanks Stuart
