I stripped down the sunroof motor, yesterday, (drilled out blind rivets and replaced with self tappers), cleaned out all of the old grease and re greased. Noted that there are two gear wheels, (both with indents), that actuate a single microswitch which is obviously used to keep the BeCU...

The Bowden cable is quite a convoluted affair with a centre steel wire core encapsulated within a polyethylene, (or similar plastic), all of which slides within an outer plastic/wire sheath, (from memory so I could be slightly incorrect)! My shift was extremely tight so I removed the cable...

Grrrr, your not the only one who has had a bit if a mare this weekend - I didn't even get out for a run this afternoon, (was out at 09:30 then had a break for lunch and then back out till 17:00)! Good luck with the drilling and chiselling - I have to get my front valence off at some point in...

MartynV8, I hope your other ninew are holding as well - I am sure they are. All, Spent all day putting my sunroof back to gether again, (intertwined with the relining of the Sunroof Blind and cutting out the various holes in the headlining. Got to a point, around lunchtime, where it was all...

Ok your options are somewhat limited. An alternative suggestion would be to drill it out which is usually quite successful but you do need a good starting point in the centre of the duff bolt. Even if you just drill a hole through the bolt, (which was slightly off centre), the vibration/heat...

Taken another brave step this afternoon as I removed the complete sunroof assembly in order to replace my sunroof cover lining. I could have taken the easier route but as my roof has just started graunching and stalling I had no choice but to rip it out, (single handedly once again)! It would...

Can't picture the layout but are you able to apply any local heat with a blow lamp as that rarely fails? You will still need to grip the offending bolt of course. Having my own, (self inflicted mare), with my sunroof!

Always rewarding when you have replaced a duff thread with a helicoil insert.

All very interesting - just wondering whether BeCU may have been changed, (in the past - for reasons unknown), with the 'unlocked' one? We both decided to err on the side of caution, (regarding making any significant changes), just in case! The A52 between Grantham and Boston is not the best...

Will try and find time to look at your instructions later, (currently having to ensure the rigours of shopping), although I suspect you will have sorted it by then. I have just acquired some, (very realistically priced), electric gate openers from France but they do not provide instructions in...

Grrr, All points duly noted and appreciated - my truck will have experienced lots of 'low voltages'!! I will clean the ODB connectors with a fibreglass pencil as that will remove all oxidation. I have driven a number of 'emergency' vehicles in my time, (adorned with both blue and green...

Wammer's, Many thanks for clarification - Grrr did state that an unlocked BeCU can be a bonus but it can also create further issues although I fully expect AC to be u/s. Hoping to get Sunroof out tomorrow, reline the cover, and then put it all back and, hopefully, get headlining reinstalled...

Took a day off work after a somewhat busy week and met up with Grrrr, (what a very nice chap), at Grantham in order to run his Nanocom across my P38 systems. Although I cleaned up my OBC connector, (when I was stripping the interior just before Christmas), -1 to me for not giving it a second...

I feel a 'Toyah' moment coming on - 'It's a mystery'! It should be there and all I can suggest is to carefully pull out the gaitor, (between the upper tailgate and var body - where the heated windscreen and wiper motor cables are routed - along with the washer tubing), and gently pull the...

The task of replacing the valve really is simplicity itself - so get in there! It should be possible to train any avian member of the Crow family to undertake the job - if you rig up some food as a final reward. Just be respectful to your neighbours by not considering the clown outfit if you...

The rear washer water line runs down the outer edge of the near side alcove between the rear tailgate rubber seal and the rear quarterlight. There are lots of cut outs and if you put your hand in the gap you will find the tubing hanging down. The one way, (check), valve is located here and...

Grrrrrr, I would certainly have liked to take full advantage of your kind offer of a quick diagnostic read of my HIVAC, (not sure that your offer was directed to me though - apologies if not)! Unfortunately I am banished to Nottingham tomorrow and Thursday, (06:30 - 16:00), otherwise I would...

Fortunately my MOT is still many months away so I should have a few weeks of driving the beast before it is scrapped! Didn't get much done this weekend as I popped over to Nottingham to attend the opening of Pidcocks new Ducati dealership and started lusting after the Panigale once again...

Grrr - Mad Hat would appear to be correct as I am presuming your camera provides a standard video signal output, (hence the need for miniature coax cable - as suggested by MH), and the camera will then only require 12 volts and earth. The most logical supply will be from one of the reversing...

I took mine apart and gave the inner button a quick rub down with some fine emery paper. Very simple to get to - three quick release plastic slot head screws, (just turn them 180 degrees), and carpeted back panel pulls off. Two Phillips screws, (I believe), retain the switch which you need to...
