Re: What did you do today?
I had to replace all four central locking actuators on my 2010 leon.
Are you replacing the same quality vag part?

Nine years ago today I had a bump in my van. Time flies.

Looks like you had a smashing time.Drum wrote: ↑Mon Dec 14, 2020 10:28 pm Yesterday I attempted to deal with the child's polo and its unopenable rear door.
It's a shit job trying to get the door card off with the door closed. Lots of levering and wrestling finally saw it give up the fight.

The metal panel has the window winder mechanism attached and the glass had to be disconnected from the mechanism.
This stage didnt go too well.

Fucking bastard.
With the panel out of the way, I could drill a hole in the door frame and release the lock.

A replacement glass arrives tomorrow. £26 including postage. Bet it's a cunt of a job to fit. New locking mechanism ordered too.

Which is great, because after work I need to pick up all the broken fence pieces.

One of our Indian colleagues has linked me this:

Good to see they are still fettling these things, I bet they've taken on holy cow status over there.

Re: What did you do today?
I sometimes lurk in this Forum....

Some serious Amby-licking goes on there. All-over black cars have a certain status over there - black with coloured roof is usually Taxi fodder but all-black generally indicates government useage. A very excitable Indian gave me that information when I filled up on the A12 one day and he was beside himself at seeing an original Morris version of his favourite car.....

Re: What did you do today?
Some of the YouTube stuff from overseas is excellent. There's one of truck repairs in Pakistan that was outstanding (I was expecting a horror show) making a virtually complete rear chassis from scratch and hot rivetting it all together. They would be welcome to restore my van for me

The work they do it very good, considering the tools and workspace they have available.
