Thanks can you get it out from inside without removing the headliner? I was thinking to buy a new seal then take it out clean the frame and the cab roof then put it back with some silicon sealant.
I didn't because it came out in order as I stripped the vehicle down. Likewise I put it in before putting the roof liner in. Apart from the final rubber/velvety seal that goes over the liner. Having said that , I reckon it'll come out no bother with the roof liner in place. IIRC, when you take the outer seal/covering edge off, you can see the small screws that hold the outer part and inner part of the sunroof frame together. Some of mine were rusty
Unscrew those and bobs your uncle.
Cheers that has made my night I don't mind tearing 500 mw turbines apart but I hate interior trims they always want to go wrong and any flaw seems to stand out a mile.I didn't because it came out in order as I stripped the vehicle down.

That's interesting! I served my time with NEI Parsons, turbine and generator manufacturer
Long time ago, that.

Wine is good
It's work, but a poor heart never rejoices, stag do sounds better, don't drive them mad with tales of the engine re build take time to relax.Sadly, Parsons started losing contracts to GEC and other, IIRC, foreign companies. That was back in the day of Nationalised utilities and the government awarded the contracts. Annoyingly, GEC didn't have the equipment or facilities to do some of the work and we had to do some blade work for them and their balancing as they didn't have big balancing chambers for the LP turbines and rotors. All political IIRC, but I was just a young lad.
Lyon sounds very nice. Work or leisure? I'm off to Barcelona this weekend. Stag do
Privatisation isn't all bad! I work for western power up in Midlands and I bet they pay better than government would haha.

Do you work in power stations? Drax isn't far from Nottingham.Privatisation isn't all bad! I work for western power up in Midlands and I bet they pay better than government would haha. Pensions aren't as good though
Wonder if I've worked on stuff you guys made
Worked at Ratcliffe on soar on 453 when It was eon cos we had the generation and all the distribution in Midlands. Now I just do distribution only go to the power station for the primary substations
Hmmmm memory's not what it was. That might have a Parsons set in it. I'm sure they all had oval brass plates on each turbine and probably on the side of the stator casing, with C A Parsons on them. NEI Parsons in later years. Might be wrong though, it was a long time ago. Come to think of it they had lots of insulation on them so I could be talking pants!
I never did much in that part anyway! Mostly worked on transformers and switchgear, breakers cables etcHmmmm memory's not what it was. That might have a Parsons set in it.

Dangerous places and dangerous stuff to work with!
I blame pressure and for some reason they keep hiring idiots... 3 deaths in 4 years madness
