Thread: simple?

1. I'd try the springs first. like $10 off ebay, then dig deeper if that doesn't fix it..
2. no idea
3. no idea

If the rear central locking isnt popping up high enough then its the spring which is an easy DIY, If it just fails to work on occasion then it could be the central locking mech which is also not that hard to replace but $$ im not sure on but ebay is a great source for cheap parts.
I hate alarms on 4bys water and electrics dont mix

3.Its available as a genuine part. Whilst it is apart repaint the components that show above the door. I just had both mine done.

Thanks all,

will do the springs this weekend and look into the window "bars"?

Whilst I think on, how often should I change the diff oil? I check/top it up every 6 months or so when I service the beast but was thinking this time of dropping it all and replacing it.

Also, last time I did the oil, the copper washer was reuasable but I'm going to replace this time. Can anyone tell me the size I need?



Many thanks

3) undo the srews either end of the door and the frame will lift out, then just repaint before re fitting or get it powder coated.

Thanks loanrangie,

As a quick fix for the immobiliser, is there a way to disable it?


Cheers

Base models have bridging plugs in various places when no immobiliser is fitted. All the details are in the RAVE wiring diagrams. The immobiliser provides earth paths for relays of items it switches off, so providing a new earth to the ignition and start relays should see you going. I worked it all out once, can't remember the exact details now.

Rear door lock mech full of dirt, actuator on the way out, lock return spring busted. When you attempt the door lock, take a photo at each step to show you how to put the ^&%^&% of a thing back together.

Check RAVE for the elec piccies to work out the immob prob.
