Had an afternoon of fixing the disco today. New winder mechanism for the drivers door came this morning from www.britishparts.co.uk so I fitted that. Then I decided to tackle the Rear sunroof which was in the jammed open position. Once I had stripped it down I found the cause - the remains of what appears to be a sycamore seed and most of the sand from the beach at Camber Sands  :lol:

Cleaned and regreased and it works a treat. The Haynes manual states that repair of the sunroof is a specialist job. The Rave manual states otherwise

If anyone wants pictures let me know. Just need her to pass the MOT tomorrow

It is annoying that the Haynes book of lies made the fixing of the sunroof into a task that mere mortals couldn't possibly do. The instructions from the rave manual made it seem easy which it was. It was also fiddly but I didn't have to get a new second hand one :D

And F is for FAILURE. Failed MOT on front brakes. I knew one of them was binding occaisionally but I was convinced it was the nearside one. WRONG it was the offside one and I didn't check that one did I - thats a lesson learnt then.

Been checking out the websites for prices and the difference in pricing is huge. Main dealer is about £200 (and no that doesn't include fitting, I asked :roll: ) to mailorder4x4 at around £60

If your pads are worn right down it may be worth doing a pad change first. a bit of lube on the pistons before pushing them back in may cure the problem, short term.
