I've just finished changing the drivers door regulator - not a bad job really - anyway while I was in there I checked all the connectors to the drivers door latch, reseated them and cleaned with electronic contact cleaner. The drivers door knob now operates all 4 locks when pushed down (which it...

i actually was surprised how clean it all was under there! do-able on the driveway. although the wife isnt best imprssed with the tiny drips from the diff..lol

you're too far from me or I'd bring a thermos and show you how to do it :) Hardest bit was turning the cable adjuster back as mine was a little bit corroded. once it freed up, piece of ****.

But it doesn't lead you to slacken the cable off first, do the adjustment then tweak the cable back up as advised. Joe Bloggs plugging through the manual is going to just adjust up the shoes, then adjust the cable up. They aren't going to slacken it first unless they are mechanically clever

Its on and you are welcome for a brew anytime. I respect your knowledge on these cars, hence being on here, as I know 'uck all about how they are held together, I know how all the bits work, but I work with cars the other end of the spectrum generally :) P.s. I'm over 40 lol

hahaha.. mm yeah ok. Please cut and paste/quote the part where I stated that, as I can't see it. I can see me saying I ADJUSTED IT AS DESCRIBED. Think you are dazed and confused or your 50 year old glasses are oily. I can make really good tea, but I am alot better doing what I do so someone...

Yes, I did read that part "Captain Touchy" - I was referring to the part about slacking the cable off first, and pointing out "Its a shame that isn't in the Manual" as in "They should put that in there so more people do it as it makes sense" as in "Good advice.. " as opposed to having a go. 50...

Shame it doesn't say that in the workshop manual (the backing off cable first part) - just says to go ahead and nip up the shoe adjuster which I guess should be fine unless your cable is HUGELY out of adjustment and still holding the shoes when released

I can see Dexron etc for gearbox in workshop manual but don't see what goes in the Diff. Is that what the manual refers to as final drive, as opposed to Differential oil? 75W 90? Whats the forum recommendation as I read elsewhere to put 80W in there.. etc

Found the issue - both of the small elbows on the washer jet, connecting the jet to the pipework have splits down them. For now I have removed the elbow and had enough slack to connect the pipe direct, but need to get 2 new elbows. You can bet I have to buy entire jets.. less Halfrauds have...

I'll be getting under it then to check mine, no stick luxury!

yeah I've just been looking again in case I am a muppet and defo not got one on the coal burner.

the light is shed..yes looks like that, yes was connected to the top connector not connected now as there is nowhere to connect it on the new one.. hey ho

Dipstick for the gearbox.. !? where is that as I was looking for mine but haven't found it yet - assuming its there and they all have one. Even saw a picture in the Rave manual.. :-(

just adjusted mine as described.. and now have an operational park brake on 3 clicks. See if that sorts the sticking bit. Was a fair way out of adjustment (still worked but took a few turns of the adjuster to get to 3 clicks) Thanks

wiring differences here

ITs not a yellow wire, its a yellow CONNECTOR BLOCK - can't remember the wire colours of the 2 wires in it, but its not plugged into anything now and I don't see what difference its made. Maybe I will take a pic and post it or something
