Fixed the window ECU - been without rear windows for far too long. The recent hot weather meant that my daughter was getting too hot when sitting in the back.

It was a text book cracked joint. Removed, cleaned soldered and refitted. One hour door to door. The worst bit was the amount of extra wiring I'd put in front of the ECU.

Hidden away.

It's under there somewhere.

I did mine a while back. Those little clips in the ecu are a fookin #### to pull out I found!

Tell me!!

The worst bit was trying to ease my slim 20 stone, 6' 5" frame into the footwell!!

Enjoyed this thread, a lot of great work and ideas.

Was wondering if when it came to paint you considered using a Plasti-Dip coating?

I have read up on them recently and they give a great looking finish and looks easy enough may be on the £££ side though. Seems like a win win as you could just peel it off when you've had enough of that colour and change it! looks to be very popular in America but not so much over here yet.

Had a quick search on the site to see if anyone had done it as im not quite brave enough to be the first! haha

Haven't heard of that - do you have a link? Is it like vinyl wrapping?

Brilliant thread - took ages to read through all of it.

Do you know if the roller method would work with matt paint?

Not long now.

I painted my Sankey in satin black with a roller (one coat) and it's okay but not perfect. I guess you'd have to try it first.

i did my last landy in matt paint, worked a treat, try different rollers first i found some disolved more with the paints i were using due to the solvents in them...the solvent resistant ones were worse then the non solvent resistant lol

Cheeky bastard. Quite flattered really. Asked him to remove it otherwise I'll report him. Knowing how **** ebay are, they'll probably ignore it.

Dear auf_wiedersehen_pet,

sorry but the photo I took from the internet. There was no security or prohibition so you do not have to be angry

Dear kitestetico-uk,

Hi,

I was just wondering why you are using a photograph of my car, on my drive taken by me. The photograph is my intellectual property. Please remove the photo immediately otherwise I will report you to ebay and my solicitor.

Regards

Rob

Tosser.

In his other items, there are loads of photos of lots of cars in random locations - do you think he stole those too?
