Thought best starting a new one as different topic. 😊

Hi there, A friend of mine has a very big air compressor and blasting kit/gun. I've been researching and I've been reading soda blasting is good, which gives a good finish with the benefit that it doesnt wreck rubber or wiring etc. Or do you...

Quick update - a friend of mine has a very big air compressor and blasting kit/gun. I've been researching and I've been reading soda blasting is good, which gives a good finish with the benefit that it doesnt wreck rubber or wiring etc...

Never knew you could glow in the dark fluid for oil and fuel - that is genius! On it!

No faffing - just curious. :) Are they like mirco relays?

Also what pin is what?! lol

Just found the spare relays - seem smaller than the usual? Will they do the same job as the ones currently in or are they completely wrong?

Does it come on a YouTube video? :)

So you rub down the metal first with a pad, and then just paint/spray the 80% phosphoric acid on?

So is there much difference in products or is it all near enought the same?

Thinking on... while I've got the door card off as well as the other bits, I might as well add some sound deadening. What would people recommend, thats great functionality as well as great value?

Thanks for all the great feedback - so this weekend managed to get the power washer underneath it. Alot of muck... to which I had then turn the power washer on the drive! Also took a pad on a drill as suggested further up the thread - which...

So problem explained - it turns out to be the motor! New part on the way, though would loved just to have bout the motor, but with the mechanised stuck on down, I couldnt get to the third screw - unless you wily foxes know something I dont...

I have no idea of what the 2 fuses are connected to the battery - whats the best way to find out? I think you are bang on with the previous owner and doing their own mods! I've taken the door card off, and checked the wires between the door and...

A few more pictures for you - I've followed the wires from the windows, back to the centre console, to which I can see 2 relays (circled in green). Do they ever malfunction? I'm getting a reader tomorrow, so I'll be able to take some readings -...

Thats great - thanks for that Anaconda 👍

Pictures attached! :)

Thanks for coming back guys - lunch time job I'll check the switch for the passenger side. Is it a simple case of prising them off?

Hi there, No there isnt any central locking yet - but that makes sense with regards to those wires. So the drivers electric window is still working, so I went through the passenger fuses one by one and to see if the windows had separate fuses...

Hi All, Another questions from the newbie - fingers crossed you wise owls can point me in the right direction! The electric windows were working fine, and then the other day the passenger front decided to stop working and won't go back up. I...

You’re right! I’ve gone through all the fuses - not one for the electric windows! Thinking note they must have put it to a relay! 😬

<smile> can't wait to see what happens when I take it through water - will that help the footwells drain out too. :D

This one: But still unsure of what is what as originally it didnt come with electric windows, but one of the past owners have put them in. Though had been looking at this to for the fuses: link here It would suggest fuses F34 and F35, but...

Always a relief when someone who knows what they are looking at says its ok! :)

Hi All :) Finally managed to give the TD5 a proper wash on the exterior, underneath and engine bay. So 2 things that I have noticed since doing this! 1. Water leaking through the footwell. Notice the mats were wet, then what looks like a bolt...

I was talking about this on the foot well edges… ‘So ours not some underseal that has been put on heavily with a brush? 🤞’

So ours not some underseal that has been put on heavily with a brush? 🤞

Also forgot to mention - when looking under I also noticed this on the footwell. Any ideas what work has been done on it?

So whats the best one to use?
