Bit of a tricky job to do, but only took bout 1/2 hour. just did mine when i put a new door on. only two screws hold in the motor itself, but there's two more nuts further along door holding in frame. also need to undo two nuts in carrier runner that window bolts into. the motor and runner is then removed through speaker panel hole.

Lifesure insurance customers (i.e. you oldies)
Dont mention bl**dy houghtons. apparently they couldn't renew my classic policy because chaucher have stopped insuring non-garaged (import)vehicles. Quote doubled to more than £550 :rant: After loads of searching got it for £410, fully comp.(with 5 years no claims);unlimited milage. the only downside of insuring an import on a non- classic policy is the damn compulsory excess. seems that £500 + is standard. hmmm. Anyone with a uk 300 might want to try first alternative. they gave me an EXTREMELY low quote. when i phoned to confirm details was told they dont touch jap imports, even though their web site had quoted on my car reg no. hmmm, hmmmm. :confused: nick

Which speed detector
Hi, I've got a Snooper S6r neo. http://www.performanceproducts.co.uk/ had it for bout 2 years. Finds all fixed sites and mobile ones with radar detecter.(very useful) If laser detection is made illegal then you can just unplug radar unit. only problem, as above, is it's quite chunky' Also, as a bynote their customer service is excellent. i contacted then last week to say that the gps was not picking up satellites very well and they had a new aerial to me the next day. hth nick

HGV help please?
Just took this from dsa web site 'For the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.' Hazard perception test is the same for all vehicles. only theory test questions differ. roadsense dvd has hazard perception clips on it. cheers nick
-
HGV help please?
The theory test questions are definately different but i think the hazard perception clips are the same (no expense spared ;) )
-
HGV help please?
hi mate, DSA did a Roadsense dvd which had practise hazard perception questions on. not sure whether you can download it anywhere or not. this is a link to their LGV web site with trail thoery test questions (not hazard perception) on. http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Category.asp?cat=305 HTH Nick P.S. good luck :D

WTF have i done to my speedo
Update !!! All sorted now. Turned out i was given a 20 ohm resistor not a 20k ohm, bloody Maplins :rant: managed to get 22k one from mate and adjust it down with potentiometer (just). Todays moral is ... Dont buy from maplins unless you know what you're doing pay your £20 subscripton for great advice. :bow: :bow: thanks for all the help nick

WTF have i done to my speedo
That might explain things. :o mind you just tested as you said and the only scale i could get a reading other than 1 from was the 20m ohms (got 0.30) ?????

WTF have i done to my speedo
4. blue yellow = 7.03 def got the point in right place with meter set to 20k. got them from maplins, loose. got several. very hard to read colour code clearly. 1st looks orange (but could be red, 20 or 30k :confused: ) 2nd and 3rd black 4th Orange or red ? 5th brown. starting to wonder if my meters playing up. tested spare resistor. meter on 20k gave reading of 1 . on 200k briefly flashed a figure b4 giving a reading of 1 . 0n 20m gave a reading of 0.30. think i'm losing the plot. have done the original tests with meter set to 200k with following results. 1. 44.7 2. 44.7 3. 37.0 4. 07.1 Have managed to get spare speedo (thanks topless) still in kph but at least i'm legal again, so i dont mind experimenting with this one now. still well confused though(not hard for me :headvswal ) cheers nick
