Ah-ha!! A cable has snapped I think. Is the below a cable shroud? I assume it's not supposed to be loose but attached at each end.

Thanks for the pointers guys. After much fettling and a little swearing I've managed to get the rear door open by pressing the top of the window gently inwards whilst pulling the door open and trying to press the window down (don't think it moved though). Removed the card and thought yes, I'm...

So a little more info. The heated rear window no longer operates either. When I hit the button on the dash it doesn't light up. I've found lots of posts with very similar issues but noene that seem to have found a fix. They seem to replace everything or the window starts working again of its...

Thanks for the replies gents. Mirrors are not power fold. engine was running when I popped in the shop so they would have had power going to them when hit. The rear door locks & unlocks and I can hear it disengaging when I try to open it. In fact it opens slightly; the only thing stopping it...

Hi guys I have a rear window issue!! So yesterday two things happened but I'm not sure if they are directly related. I was driving with some heavy (ish) tools in the back. On pulling away from some lights there was a loud clunk like something hitting the rear door from the inside. When I went...

Hiya Nodge Yes, the scuttle panels so I can access that ground point. I'm guessing that there is some corrosion/ oxidisation there. I've twisted the scuttle panels every which way but can't seem to get either side out. Fritz

So nice and frosty this morning and the perfect chance to try out the heated front screen. Works great if you're in the passenger seat but not good at all from the drivers seat; in fact it's non existent. Anyway I've checked the two fuses in the supplementary fuse box and they seem ok (I...

Yes I appreciate that you understand the set up but it appears the OP doesn't. I quoted you merely to highlight that your solution was likely the correct one and then tried to give the OP a bit more info to go on. My "This" statement was referring to the quoted text, not the "the hood isn't...

This....the hood isn't adjusted correctly. The arm of the soft top has a small cam on the drivers side and this needs to press the little button (sensor) on the rear pillar drivers side for the rear window to work when the roof is closed. When its open the cam rotates away and releases the...

Finally got around to doing this today. Very straight forward but think I broke several fingers trying to push the clips on (they're very tight). I used a slotted piece of sheet steel to pull the air intake moulding clips but I think Nodge;'s method of using a self-tapper would have been...

Thanks Nodge, very much appreciated as always. Clips ordered; I got a pack of three just in case (no, no I'm still talking about the clips!!). Those wiper pullers can get expensive. I'm going to try a modified LC clip (free as we use them at work anyway). Will let you all know how I get on...

No, seriously I do. The nearside front wiper has gone floppy. It seems to be the spindle rather than the wiper arm (although I'm struggling to get the arm off at the moment) so I'm guessing an issue with the linkage. In fact when I pull on the wiper blade I can see the whole spindle moving in...

Sounds like master cylinder to me especially as it is damp in the foot well. I've always been told that's a positive sign of failed master cylinder. You can pick up a master cylinder for £ 55 on ebay and the only difficult part of changing it is the "quick release" clip that connects to the...

Hiya I had the double din before. No issues with the steering wheel controls. There's an app on the head unit called Wheel Map or something similar so you just connect the two wires from the Connect2 box to the two wires on the head unit and then programme them from the head unit

OP I don't know if you've checked them but I'd take GrumpyGel's advice re the rear brakes. I had a similar issue to this on my GS whilst doing 70 round the M25. It was definitely squeaky bum time. I got some braking back by pumping the pedal a lot so limped home at like 20 mph. Turned out it was...

So after much deliberation (and getting some advice from people who already had something similar) I took the plunge with one of these Android Head Units. It's easy enough to remove the old and install the new although be aware that they are not quite correctly sized for a standard double din...

Grumpy/ Nodge...If he unplugs the temp sensor will this force the fans to run? Obviously not a permanent fix especially if there's a deeper issue but at least he'll know the fans are running. Fritz

It takes about 10 mins to put on initially, then another 5 mins or so to adjust for your specific vehicle but you need only adjust the first time its fitted. Once fitted it's about 3 mins to put up/ take down. The instructions say you have to remove the roof bars to fit it but you don't. With...

Here you go. One of the zips that zips the side section to the roof section is broken...not the actual zip but the rigid bit you push into the zipper bit when doing a zip up. I have the red key as well but it's in the car. If you look closely at the bag then you can just about see two small...

I hadn't really thought about it TBH. They seem to go for ridiculous money on ebay/ gumtree but I've no intention of taking advantage like some of those sellers seem to be doing. I've found it on one of the high racks in the warehouse so I'll get it down tomorrow and put some photos up (it...
