Re: Sliding door lock jammed, can’t/won’t release

Can we swap? My sliding door falls off if you don't close it very carefully 🤣 it's on my long list to find out why but right now I'm happy it actually is just shut.

Re: Water under driver and passenger floor mats after heavy rain.

Well I was poking around and noticed the washer wasn't connected to the pump, didn't have time to get the dash out so temporarily stuck the nozzle back on with a silicone seal..... guess what? No more water ingress 😁 thanks for all the suggestions

The blower seems to work pretty well.

Re: Water jet hose driver side fell though :( help

Sounds like a plan, I need to do the heater cables as well, work never ends 🙄 I remember seeing an ad on Ebay where the seller said they didn't realise how much ongoing upkeep these need, I thought surely not 🤣

Re: Water jet hose driver side fell though :( help

Just found my jets have no pipes connected either, pulled the arm nice buzz but no water 😒 reservoir full. Popped a nozzle off to look and no pipe, oddly no puddle of water anywhere. Can only think the pump isn't connected to anything...dash off then by the sounds of it? Speedo cable needs replacing...

Re: Starting after being left for a few weeks

Speaking of choke, on my 2.0 CU ....do I need to just turn the key or do I need a tap of the throttle first? When left a few days it can take time to start especially after rain when just turning the key, single tap on the throttle first and it's much better! Last few days fires on the 1st turn but ...

Re: Water under driver and passenger floor mats after heavy rain.

Washer jets are a bit old and faded but seem sealed, I'll have a poke around the window seal. It looks fine on the surface but you never know what lurks beneath. It has a stone chip bullet so I need to replace it anyway.

Has anyone used the screens from Schofields?

Re: Water under driver and passenger floor mats after heavy rain.

Added a 2 point fixing radio aerial to cover those holes... Still leaking in mind, must be getting through my missing door handles.

Re: Cab door handles

Genuine in my opinion, I bought the cheapo ones and although they work ok the keys looked like something made of playdo. Easy to remove, there's a posi screw behind the door rubber then slide the handle out. The black plastic gasket things are available too if yours are knackered. Here is what they...

Cab door handles

I'm missing both external cab door handles, I notice Schofields sell reproduction ones for 18.00 each and there are quite a few selling them on Ebay, anyone with experience of using the reproduction ones? Schofields also sell genuine ones, is it worth the extra? Also having not taken the old one off...

Re: Sliding door seals

Which bit needs cut out? Sorry for the daft sounding questions but I haven't got the old ones to compare against, all I know is I can see daylight even with the doors shut 🙄
