Hey guys .. just wonderd how difficult of a job it is to remove the diff on a tt swb ?? jeff advised in doing this in order.to get access to the hicas pipes !!!

Had a chat with jeff this morning (always happy.to help) im going to go with trying to fix the original hicas pipe thats.bust

Been looking at lockout kits and am confused ! Too many options ahhhhhhhhnn

Umm i did consider it .. was basically looking for the cheapest and simplest option .. Is the lock out route easy enough to do from home for an average skilled person ? and na route ! is this all just a straight swap ? take.it id still have to change pas pump etc to na !!

Had the car up on ramps today trying.to locate the hicas leak ! it seems to be coming.from the toppass side pipe at the very top... question is are the pipes replacable if so wer from ? and wat is the best way to get at the bloody things as there right above the sframe :(

Hi mate .. coppen is gona put a few up later for me as its not.arrived yet :)

Wow really ! dnt think il have that sort of money :( is it a bad job to diy ??

Kind of difficult without me even seeing it yet but am told its got a leak on the hicas !! is this a common thing with hicas ? and is there anything in particular it will be ? Can anyone give me a rough idea of cost for an auto to manual convertion ? diy and garage ?

Ow i will dnt worry about that :)

Made up .. just bought coppens red zed :) so happy as missed mine like mad :) plan is a respray, new rims , mot work and manual converstion .. hopefully be.on the road in 6/8 weeks :)

Did the trick :) thanks pal

K mate will get some contact spray !

Yes i am i suppose but i havnt actually noted with way it works on the switch if you get me :)

But thats whats weird though i can get the motor to run both ways wen switching the terminals ! Do you mean the control buttons bit !

right , i put a power to 1 connector and an earth to the other , now the motor will only move the seat rail one way and not the other , to get them to run the other way i just switch the wires around !!
