It leaks in the winter though & I never have got to the bottom of it. Sunroof drains are clear & it's not the aeriel either. It's had a replacement windscreen at some point & I suspect that's to blame.
 
The latest issue has been the rear passenger wheel arch. I noticed some rust staining in the boot & pulled off the trim to find multiple rust patches. This was just before the MoT. It passed though because it wasn't really visible when looking externally. (Hidden behind seam sealer, underguard & dirt).
 
On further investigation (read a damn good poke around with a screwdriver) it looked pretty horrific. I've got as far as cutting one part of it out & will patch in some new metal at some point this week (weather permitting). Have some doubts about my ability to fix the area of the wheel arch closer to the boot pan though. We'll see.
 
I've tried to add some pics but had some issues. There seems to have been an update to the site re how it handles images. Will try again after I've downsized them a bit.]]>

Got a chance to get this for peanuts. Mine is shredded, and I like the look of these better anyway. 

Judging from another picture it has an airbag as it has 2 screws on the back. Does it have an airbag? and what issues if any will I hit fitting it in a Phase 2 Cab?

  Wiper Arm.jpeg (Size: 154.43 KB / Downloads: 137) Hello All,

Striped the Splines for the Drivers side Wiper Arm.

Could be an odd question. 
Does the Act of bolting the Wiper arm down on the input Splined shaft create the grooves?
I have Purchased a New-Old stock wiper arm, possible drivers side, the part number aren't a match, but overall length/ dimensions are spot on.
Except there aren't any splines in the wiper arm hole.

Am i being daft? Should i be carefully bolting it down smug to 'Press' the splines into the new arm?
Ta in Advance.

The pipe doesn't seem to be attached to anything on the other side of the membrane, so what on earth does this pipe do?  How can this repair actually work!

Thanks,

Steve]]>

A few months ago the drivers window dropped and I had to repair the regulator mechanism. Because when I opened it all up again I discovered the hot glue hadn't held in place I decided to try some waterproof tape. That has now lifted and is letting in water too. The drivers carpet is now really quite wet n starting to smell pretty funky  .

Anyone got ant suggestions re a product that will have some chance of finally sealing up these cutouts? Have searched online for a product specifically designed for the task but not found anything yet.

There is a very slight heat but not much.
I have tried bleeding and I can't get it sorted. There is no leaks from what i can see on both footwells.
I have tried flushing and there is water passing both ways.
Any help and knowledge would be greatly appreciated [emoji120]

personally, I've been dressing plastics with sunflower or coconut oil for a few years and it lasts pretty well if you get plenty on & let it soak in for 10mins (just wipe it off thoroughly afterwards or it goes horrible and sticky) but this might be a more permanent solution]]> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8UGwk1Hai4
