Replaced OSR window regulator. Motor dead in the water. Been in since 2012 apparently. Anyway all done and working again.

The diesel struggles off road without low range to get up steep hills so the petrol will be worse. For green laning or off road racing racing they are good but not so much for extreme off roading.

Well done. I don't think it's common for the original motors to fail but I can't comment on after market ones. I guess someone must have replaced the regulator and motor at the same time in the past. I have to admit I usually order a repair kit...

I was going great ignoring this thread, then today I couldn't help myself and here we are again! Sorry guys, my bad! 🙁

I often wondered where the 5kg option came from. It was always 8kg when I first did the test many years ago.

Off the car should be 1/3 of the time on the car. Due to the 3:1 diff gearing. So 1.2m and 5Kg on the car at a minute is at end of life. I use as a rule of thumb.

Many thanks for that Ali.👍🏻

The rear window regulators are the easiest to repair and there are videos on Youtube showing how.

The rear bushes are usually so hard to remove it's only worth doing if the arms are good. Replacement bushes will need pressing in unless you pay extra for the complete unit and this requires a press.

So long as he's paying the bill just go with it. It's easier that way. ;)

I've never tried testing a VCU that way but it looks kinda tight to me. The scaffold weighs a kilo or two as well as the 6kg weight. In the past I've stuck screwdrivers through the UJ joints to turn a VCU but could never have applied the force...

Looks good. Had a shot at recovering tired door panels this afternoon. Looks to be quite a success.

My old banger £200 daily driver runaround bmw failed the mot today with a knackered subframe. I had a good look at it and the whole rear suspension looks like it's been parked in the sea for some years, so sadly off to the scrappy it goes. It...

And/Or the most bonkers! 🤣 Thanks mate :)

I wouldn't mind so much but the charging timer was only installed a couple of months ago. :( At least it helps me remember how I installed everything in the first place. I spent a few hours rebuilding the HV junction box so it's almost complete...

The rebuild has started. HV and LV junction boxes removed Dumped in a box I was never happy with the previous design that kinda evolved as I learned more about what I needed. I had LV components in the HV JB which is an obvious no no, and...

Not sure whether we should laugh or cry.

Not very often, fortunately, I get "one of those jobs" ! Offered to replace a strut top mount for a mate. Both strut to hub bolts and nuts seized solid, like they had become one piece of metal. My 350 + ft lb impact driver wouldn't touch it. Nut...

Lovely night in work in royal mail an area that noted for being a sweatbox😟 Only thing keeping me going was to ignore it. When all around you are speaking a foreign language I blank it. When I get back home to bed. I eventually ignored the din of...

I will leave you with this image of me getting ready for work tonight. Night night all.

One thing we will never, ever, be able to ignore in future, when we see 1 of your great illustrations, is the image of you creating it on your bed naked save for a pair of Y fronts and socks!

I'm happy to have Google do that for me for free. The more I advertising Landyzone, people who are searching for images can see where it came from. Books are old hat now as you may sell a dozen or none. Just keep ignoring me 🥸

How could I ignore you on our first night together.

I took the advice of many here and ignored it

Hi learned forum members. I wonder if you could help me with some advice. Sorry if this has been asked before but I've recently been reading this forum thread that says "please ignore". Now the problem is I've not ignored it and have only gone...

Just checking everyone is being, as usual, an upstanding and responsible adult within the community and ignoring this thread. @MGT See what you have done? There is real work not being done in the world right now because of you. A simple...

To ignore something, by definition, you must know what to ignore. You can't ignore nothing

Thanks for ignoring this thread. I was afraid people would take the p*ss.
