Blown Heater Matrix

<< < (2/3) > >>

Porny:
Drivers window glass jumping out of it's channel.....

Been there, done that!!!!

Once got home at 1.00am in the morning, did my window up and it jumped out of the channel....DOH!!
Didn't really won't to leave the window down all night, so quickley stripped my door down and put the glass back.
My neighbours must have thought I was mad !!!!

Chance's are, all the window channel is a bit knackered in your door, or at the least come loose. (its' usually the bottom section that goes)
Not too difficult of a job though, and channel amazingly isn't that expensive (if I rember correctly) - probably about £20 ish.

Quite often made worse if the window winder mechansism itself is worn (i.e. the glass jumps as you wind it down) again these aren't too expensive - £15 I paid for the last one new - just don't buy secondhand, cost me £11 for a used one!

Again, if you need a hand, give us a shout.

Ben:
Thanks... :D

Just bypassed the heater on the 90 and went for a quick drive. After 10 miles, no movement above normal on the temp gauge, so I'll be investing in the new matrix... Just need to strip mine down to find out which direction the pipes go in...

I've managed to wedge the window shut for now - it'll be a job for one evening next week, once I got the parts from Paddocks...

Cheers

Ben:
Thanks Tina - I've managed to get hold of the matrix "bit" from Paddocks - just need to get it fitted before the weather gets too much colder!

Unfortunately, I haven't got the rest of the vehicle back to normal yet - the new engine is still overheating and over pressurising the cooling system. I think it's a leaky gasket - it's hopefully going in to the local garage to sort it out once and for all next week...

Cheers

Ben

wifey:
At least it's a vehicle!
My D90 is still a pile of bits. Well, a body and a pile of bits, the latter is getting smaller though :lol:
