Thanks guys, works out a bit cheaper for him anyway, the dealers were looking for €118, should get it for €80 online including postage.

I know someone mentioned it already, but should'nt you check the earthing points first, clean em? if he's taking off the rear panels its a handy job and seems to go wrong a lot. Going at wiring is a pain, Ive no taillights but my brakelights work fine, though mine, I suspect is related to...

My mate has the 3 lights and got it on the computer and the told him he needs this part. Its a 2001 TD4 Can anyone tell me what part it is please and it and where it can be got? Thanks!

Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks for the input, it made me smile, even if only because I'm not the only mug out there! ;)

Yes, I think that might have something to do with it, my brother thought the there was an unusal grounding connection going from right side live the left side earth. I have hippo a year & previous owner said towbar was on it before he bought it.

Over the weekend my brother & I tested the power coming to the rear lights. The red/orange wire on the drivers side and the red black on the passenger side had no power coming to the connector. There was power coming to the plugs at the junction box (I think that is what its called) on drivers...

Thanks Gary, Have tried a few of those steps but I will go at it from scratch again at the weekend, like that the brake lights still work and I dont do a lot of night driving just want to sort out niggles so I can get it tested. My brother has a multimeter and would be sharper at the electrical...

Have done, can't get anything that makes any sense? That's why I went through what I have done, coz first thing I thought of was bad earth, then connectors! Like I said I'm a bit slow with electrics & what to do! Thanks anyway!

I have taken off the panels but everything seems to be connected up, not really sure what I'm supposed to be looking at/for though!

Hi all, My rear lights aren't working in my 2005 3 door, started with the right and now it's both. They still light up when I press the brakes. I have checked the bulbs, the fuse, the connectors for corrosion and sprayed with WD40, checked the earthing points, disconnected, cleaned and...

I've taken the cross bar off, just wondering would they still be structurally sound when I Put on the bars on, didn't want to chance it until I was sure or I'd seen it on another one especially with the 75kg weight restriction. There was me thinking mine was special! Thanks for all the help!

Postage to Ireland is a killer on them! I've seen a few similar roofs but none with the rails, maybe theres a clue in there that I'm choosing to ignore!

Hi, I got roof rails from a scrapyard, went through another thread about fitting them already. Have all the parts when I realized that my roof is too high for the rails, its a comercial. The bars came off a 2001 model, mines a 2005. I took the rails apart so that the cross bar is off but I...

I'll chance doing that later on, never think of ebay anymore!

I tried going into the local supplier but they said they could only get the full set up, in fairness to the guy, he did give me the part numbers and told me to google them that it was crazy. The guy was going to try the scrapyard but I was looking for an easy way out!

Sorry to resurrect this thread again, I finally got the rear mounting blocks but the front/top ones were not available as the car had been scrapped! Will the mounting blocks from the top of a 5door do on top of the 3door or is it specific to 3 door? Sorry again for digging this up but at least...

Cool, I'll go back to the guy I got em from and see if I he still has them, excuse my stupidity but the mounting blocks from the older model will fit the newer one?

No, I asked about them when I rang originally, but I was in a rush to a get somewhere when I collected em & didn't check until I went to fit them, when I realisesd they weren't on! Anyway, from my limited understanding the there should be a spare bolt hole in the back but there isnt except for...

How much you want for it? Just browsing & fairly skint but I might be interested!
