Re: AFT skylight leak - failed repair

How strange, are you able to work out where it's leaking? Maybe some food colouring dye and a watering can?
Could you have a crack in the plastic surround perhaps?
There are instructions in the Service Manual on removing but it sounds like you have already done that.

Re: AFT skylight leak - failed repair

Welcome aboard! Mumm, are you sure its leaking and not simply condensation ? Might be worth checking after before rain is due, and then after to see if its rain water, or maybe in the morning after its cooled down overnight and condensation has settled on the glass and then when you drive it runs to...

Re: Coolant system just won't bleed!!

Presumably a diesel ? Did it get very hot ? Head gaskets don't normally fail but cracked heads is a common result.

Re: alternative to NDC roof rack/rails?

Haven't seen any advertised in ages, I think quite a few people make up there own with custom brackets to fit the mountings in the AFT roof.

Re: sliding door electrical issues

When I say inactive they both go to earth, so you can check for that, then one relay will pulse to provide power in the correct direction to open/close the lock.

Re: sliding door electrical issues

I wouldn't unscrew them from the pillar/door it will just make alignment even more difficult. I've done it by measuring the voltages inside the door with the panel off. The other thing is give all the contacts a good clean with electrical cleaning fluid and a kitchen scouring pad (not metallic they ...

Re: sliding door electrical issues

Have you been able to check circuit continuity between the "B" pillar contacts and the door contacts when the door is closed ? I've heard of a couple of doors where the hanging of the door had been "adjusted" incorrectly which meant that the contacts didn't meet correctly height ...

Re: Cooling system

Sounds good then! Do be aware that the silicon based plastic pipes are to be avoided, they need a different style of compression clamp, the existing black rubber pipes use the constant pressure clips which means that that as the metal pipes expand and shrink with temperature the rubber and clip expa...
