Well, it was a mucky job but it's done now. Removed the cone shaped nozzle from the RTV can and applied it directly to the inside frame. Then used 2 x 2p coins (taped together) to prop up the glass from beneath whilst the window was positioned. Screwed in the glass support brackets then got to...

Hi all, Landy: 110, 200Tdi, 1992 Spent 6 hours yesterday taking apart, de-seizing, greasing and reassembling my rear wiper motor yesterday. Before installation I tested the motor on a separate 12V battery and it worked fine (to my surprise), but when I installed it back onto the rear door and...

Ah, I have some black silicone that should do the job. Just to clarify, you put RTV in between the frame and the glass. But what do you put between the glass and the retaining strips, RTV again?

I have bought a new seal, just not sure how to secure it in place e.g. some form of adhesive

The door window.

Have just removed the rear window on my 110, cleaned and painted the window metal, and am about to refit the window with a new rubber seal. The seal has no adhesive, so how would you neatly secure it in place? Thanks

Just got the Landy back from the garage, along with the bill. Labour: £150 Parts: £185.45 Sub total: £335.45 20% VAT: £67.09 Total: £402.54 Should I really be paying the VAT on parts ordered? I assume the garage already pays VAT, which is included in my parts cost, so why am I being charged...

Don't like waste. Was hoping for a simple replacement.

Having trouble finding any suppliers that stock a replacement spring latch for a winch hook. Any ideas, y'all?

Oh I see, it's a mortice lock, right?

Is a a steel spreader plate something I'd need to fabricate myself?

I'm intrigued - a 5 pin Chubb with some serrated spools sounds attractive. Have you got an image, or could you please point me to an image of the type of Chubb you used?

How did you fit domestic Chubbs? I'd have thought the barrels would be the wrong shape?

Spike - after a friends dead cat that used to visit me at my desk and lick the coffee from the rim of my cup. Lovely animal.

There's plenty of products on the market, so I was wondering what specific make and model anyone here had successfully fitted to their rear door? For example: Stoplock HG 199-00 Stoplock Van Lock | eBay

Kill all the people in the world that make it ****e. This would involve placing them all upon a small, remote, barren island in the darkest of nights, and releasing enough hungry lions to outnumber the ****s 2 to 1. Then, a bacon buttie with pickle to celebrate. Hu rah!

Why bother? Another inane tool to provide pointless insight into vain people's self-obsessed minds. When people ask if I tweet, i simply make bird noises until they **** off.

My friends just fitted a £250 kit to his 6.5 litre beast. The engine runs quieter, the power has increased, but he hasn't yet monitored the MPG. You can build you own kit for under £100 apparently. I'm gonna look into this.

Would imagine there's two plastic parts of the housing that are somehow clipped together? Perhaps, carefully drive a flathead in and around the seam until the tension held fasteners each unlock?

I've located various nipples round the vehicle, but am unsure how much grease to supply via my mini greasing gun. Any thoughts?
