    Rear door latch

    Have you tried to get to the lock by removing the rear door card ? That might at least give you a chance of checking the wiring.

    Battery Light on, steering heavy... Ah, theres the problem

    Not sure about preventative maintainance being much of a help in this case. I had exactly the same thing recently. No warning at all just temp in the red, ace light red, steering gone, servo gone. The tensioner had disintergrated, shredding the belt. Mine is maintained as if my life depended...

    Repairing seat bases

    I guess after that many years the material will be obsolete so finding any would be nearly impossible. One way forward is to go for a different cloth. Try a vehicle retrimmer and choose a fabric you like, then cut costs by taking the existing cover off ( there is a how to on here I am sure.)...

    Td5 Exhaust rear section - how to remove

    Its pretty straighforward, but no need for a gas axe. Spray the bolts with penatrating oil, give it a while then a spanner on each end of the nut and away you go. If the oil hasnt helped then apply heat. We have a tool for the job that is like a super bunsen burner, but a blowtorch will do. Heat...

    Who on earth ( in there right mind) is gonna buy one airbag second hand? I am sure on the forum there is a" how to" on changing the bags. It sounds like yours is a mess, but all will become clear when you read it.

    Rear shock clunking?

    TBH M8 go to a different garage. It could indeed be any number of things ? But any mechanic worth anything would get it up in the air or test drive it. Find out what the problem is before you start paying for bits that may or may not fix the problem.

    Cleaning discovery headlining

    Option two is to replace it, most car interior trimmers will do it, or sell you the fabric if your brave enough to do it yourself. The fabric is backed by foam, and at the age yours is any attempt to scrub it will probably cause the foam to break up and separate from the fabric...not pretty...
