    110 300 tdi won't start - emergency

    THanks - is there a way to bypass this or is this a job for the professionals? My skill in this area are limited. Also any idea why the immobiliser light is out and won't come back on again ?

    Rattlin windows!

    Fixed mine by just cutting a 2 x 3 in strip out of plastic milk bottle, folding it over and sliding it over the window. Will get round to fixing it properly later but for now the rattle has gone

    I have a STRANGE need

    Not sure if it helps - I cast bullets for black powder and find the straight lead from a scrappy melted and mixed with some standard solder (the thick bar stuff) gives me a combination that is both strong enough not to strip in the barrel and soft enough to to grip the riffling. I tried to get...

    Rear door, lower trim part# (pics)

    Checked Microcat - there is only one part given for the seal (ALR4770) and you have already found it. There are no replacements or alternatives. Can only assume someone put something else in there before. Sorry can't help any further

    Rear door paint work bubbles

    Thanks all for advice. Looks like I will clean the inside and paint it, fill it with dinitrol and then get on with the outside paintwork in the spring.. Or get a new skin but that sound like a more tricky job to complete :confused:

    Rear door paint work bubbles

    Thanks beasty, the rest of the body is looking good so assume it was primed correctly. The window seal was fubar'd as they didn't put the bottom strip back so originally it leaked like niagra falls. I have put a new bottom on but now need to do it all again. Remove the glass, take out all the...

    Rear door paint work bubbles

    Ok quick question. The old 110 was repainted before I got her. Now most of it looks really good but the rear door is a suffering from bubbling and if you push them then they are filled with water. I have stripped the door and it looks like the frame had a rust problem and has been welded and...

    110 rear windscreen wiper motor

    A quick question - the rear windscreen wiper on my 1997 110 has not been working since I had her. I have just taken it apart and can categorically state that the motor will never turn again. It basically is a solid lump but the gearbox is working fine. Now for the question : Is it possible to...

    Microcat Dongle

    I have a working copy - adjusted as specified and seems to run fine. I did install it in a virtual machine so its completely isolated and I can reset it. It doesn't require the date to be changed either. Downloaded it, followed the instructions and it started first time. Any question I can help...
