The gutter is one piece like an upside down 'n' shape. The outer roof skin has a angle return to sit flat on the gutter, this is riveted to the gutter and it is common for the thin roof skin to pull through the rivets. Pita to re rivet iirc, lots...

Quick update on this to finish off. Overpriced Steve Parker pipe now fitted and routed slightly differently, full length old radiator hose protection cover installed. And plastic spiral wrap hose protector ordered. You can see where it rubbed...

4 Torq bolts to release the airbag, battery disconnected for around an hour while I had lunch before I removed the airbag. Strip out the switches in situ, easy enough. A good wash and a light key with some fine wet and dry And done, will put a...

Good result Chris:)

Fixed it I hope! Found this post on a goggle search last night. Went out and plugged the nano in and 'distribution motor stall fault' still there and won't clear. Then I did this And the book symbol disappeared. I then ran through all the...

Missed this bit ooops When you reassemble the blend motor, with its original parts make sure to get the markings on the big white gear to meet the marking on the potentiometer gear. If you replaced the potentiometer and didn't get the one...

To diagnose and examine the blend motor assy it is easiest to remove it from the car and take it apart, when this is done just remove the two white gears and lift out the circuit board that holds the motor and potentiometer. Use a multimeter (or...

The Nanocom numbers also change in real time, but not in photos !! RH blend pot or motor definitely not correct. Best way to see is to unplug from HEVAC, and put a ohmmeter across the pot wires. Then move them with a 9V battery & see if the...

What does the green band represent? I don't have a Nanocom but the percentages look right, 0% in 0% feedback, 105% in 100% feed back. With Faultmate, I can actually watch the numbers change in real time. The RH blend motor should do the same.

That last number changes as in the pic above but not on the rh blend. Nano reporting no faults on the rh blend though.

Darn, posted accidentally before I'd finished. The right blend motor above stayed on 65 even though I'm getting no faults on nano for that. The left blend motor..that number changed? More pics to follow.

Yeah...I sort of did that yesterday, I took screenshots as I tried to put a video on here before and it wouldn't let me. Screenshots aren't much help on a moving screen really. I'll put some up anyway.

I've put the issue on p38 pub site too, Richard on there is quite knowledgeable too and I do know a few of us lot are on there.

If I haven't removed any of the gears on the box just moved them by hand to check for smooth movement, do I still need to enlign them? Can't see why unless they have been removed but happy, more than happy, to be told they do!

Distribution gears? The white(and black) ones on the box itself? I haven't removed any of them. What I did with the replacement pot was, I noted how many degrees end to end was on the old pot and where the arrow on it was pointing when it was...

The flap on the distribution only moves around 120 degrees before it hits mechanical stops , observed after removing the distribution motor again and manually moving the white gears. Took the drive unit apart, enligned the gears after checking...

That's what my old girl looks like today, however, it is for the "O" rings. All done now, what a ball ache of a job!!!!

It will only go on one way? Got me thinking now! I'll take it off again tomorrow and double check everything. Thinking about it again, the motor wasn't moved and I had to turn the flap maybe 10 deg clockwise to get the flat on the splined motor...

It's stopped doing it now before I could have another listen.

You all may recall I had the book up and nano saying pot fault right hand blend motor? Today, I have tackled the job and soldered in a new pot that I got off kermit_rr, bit of faffing about as the pot drive is 90 deg out but simple once I...

It's not that bad really, you do need a helper to keep the fluid topped up and to work the pedal. The bleed nipple on the master nearest the bulkhead is semi buried in the insulation and a bit awkward to get at but popping the header tank out of...

Hi Flossie, I’m being so dumb as I didn’t realise that yes there is a spring on that ignition switch and finally I have leaned it now how to use it. It does allow me to twist the key to spring and glow plug light come on. Thanks for your help...

Definitely sounded fip side but I've had to go out, just got back. I'll have a better listen tomorrow but, yes, that alarm sounds feasible as the ignition was off....maybe valve block too?.

Not coming from just behind and below the battery by any chance where the alarm sounder is located?

Yes, another quarter turn.

Tell me more...

Disconnect the map sensor, this sounds familiar 🤔

Not running, not even the key in, just bonnet open.

The aircon does not operate below 5C in theory. The air comes in, is chilled and dried and the heated to the selected temperature. It does not take 20hp even when it's engaged and remember, the compressor does not run constantly.
