Fair point, well made. Bugger him.

Lateral thinking. I like it.. yeah I'll try that tonight.

Probably... so as long as I don't hit anything it'll be fine. Life is for living..not existing! :D

Meh! "Safety , schmafety..." what's life wthout a little risk? (I should point I'm a H+S manager...but I ony do that office hours, Monday to Friday)

Or if you want it for 'looks' how about a fake one? Bits n bobs from ebay, black plastic drain pipe?

That's what I suspected. Welding shouldn't be an issue. I work for an engineering firm with skilled welders so that's a possibility. Think I'l find a weekend to take it out and have a think about it. Cheers guys.

Wel it hasn't got a sunroof.. so....

Might be a silly question, but does anyone know of a way to lower the passenger seat? (And before you ask, no it hasn't got height adjustable seats!) Problem is the son in law is 6 foot 6 and has to slouch down to avoid smacking his head off the roof. Is there a adjustment that can be made?

How would one go about getting a spare key ? Not bothered about fob, just need a spare key for emergencies.

Is it bolted on ? Like a 'pinch' clamp?

The bit you're pointing to appears to be still attached to the glass. Or at least there is a sticky down lumpy bit that the block of wood is currently pushing up against! I'm guessing that's what it is...

"Pincers"...?

Opened up my right/rear door to investigate the non working window. I'm thinking, snapped cable, faulty motor, seized mech. Nope ....none of that....because none of that was there! It's all gone! So, anyone got a door cable and motor set for 2004 , rear right door? :)

I completely understand the attraction of getting a garage to do the work. The fun of seized nuts, rounded bolts , skinned knuckles, freezing fingers.... has kind of worn off over the years. I find the list of jobs that I really can't be arsed doing these days is getting longer and longer! Once...

Well took the valve off and it was solid with carbon. Flushed it both directions with cleaner and used a little brush to scrub inside it. Once the black **** stopped coming out it was 'loose' inside. Popped it back on and it idles like a new motor! Thanks for the tip guys.

Got the idle air valve off and cleaned it. Made loads of difference. Was stuck then when cleaned it , it's got some "play" in it now. Should have seen the crap that came out!

Cheers guys. Skint knuckles it is then!

Good thinking! Thanks for that.

I assume replacing it just the usual , nuts bolts, swearing, dropped bits inside door, swear again, blood, nuts bolts and done?

Hello, quick question... Driver's door will not open on the fob. All the other doors unlock OK (on second press) But it WILL LOCK on the fob! Opens on the key no bother. Is this probably just a solenoid problem or something more sinister (i.e complicated!) Cheers
