That is impressive stuff! If you want to dye any plastics or vinyl I would recogmend Halfords vinyl spray.

Get it retrimmed. Trimmingtonic can do it and they do a great job, not too expensive either.

Arch enemy do it at your house or place of work. http://www.archenemy.co.uk/ Or, you can do what I did and have major arch work.

Sceptical, be cool if it did work though!

Oh right, what supports it? Does it not move around / knock about whe you're moving?

I have managed to fix the timing of the door locking and roof shutting by turning the motor plug around! I really hope your advice works. We will be trying it probably sunday morning, providing it is not raining!

Like this, but instead of the big black pipe??! or the other way? If none of these can someone photoshop where?! I know it needs a clean and new filter!

Thankyou! They are tombstones, well, the deep bolstered version! Here are a few more pics of the door card/audioscape trial fitting. Just before I broke my sunroof!

Do I still have to remove the whole sunroof to do that?- the roof lining etc?

BIG PROBLEM...... my theory of pushing the sunroof down and backfired terribly. The sunroof now will not open or close properly. It is as though the drivers side is getting caught or the whole roof is now wonky. As te passeger rear corner lifts and moves well bu the drivers rear corner is a little delayed and doesnt close all the way by a few mm. Plus when trying to slide, the driver rear corner won't drop low enough to slide. Pushing it down had popped the sunroof lkiing out a little, do you think it just is not in place properly, causing te problem. Or, have I knackered the sunroof????? Oh, and for those of you whoes sunroof opens when you lock your doors, just turn the motor plug round so the number match!!!!

You press the switch to open or close the tilt, pull the switch don to open/close the tilt and push the switch forward or back to slide the roof forward or ackwards. Yes it closes completely on slide but not tilt. I will have a go tomorrow at physically pushing the roof down, with the motor disconnected to hopefully counter act when the lining tilted the roof up when first fitted.

Right, well, when I try to shut the sunroof from tilt it won't shut the whole way, it still has about an inch to go. I can only shut it be using the slide function. This has only happened since fitting the lining.

Wel, picked the interior up and I am really chuffed with it. Started fitting it today. Got the roof linning, sunroof lining, pillars, rear cards and seats in. Just in the process of fitting Audioscape pods to the front cards before fitting the cards. A little pic of so far.....

Ok, The doorcard will be fitted tomorrow with them on. They just look so big! Only temporarily fitted the pods for now, but I don't know if they are in the correct place. As there is a gap from the pocket up to the top of the pod.

Might be a bit of a silly question but do audioscape speaker pods stop the door shuttting properly or them hitting on anything?

It still does it. When I fit the sunroof lining it pushed the sunroof up and that is hoe I fiited it Maybe if I disconnect the motor and physically push the sunroof down and try again?

Brilliant, I will try it in 2 hours! Thankyou! :)

How do i do this?!

I know most of you hate these kits but I have a bit of a dumb ass question.... Whre the hell does the Stroeve induction kit fit on the 9a engine? What have I got to remove?! :shrug:

Today I itted my new black sunroof lining. I took the sunroof off, then slid the original lining out and slid the new one in until it clicked in place. I refitted the motor and popped the plug back in. However, now, when I lock the doors the sunroof tilts up instead of closing. WHta have I done wrong??!

Does anyone know if the large black plastic/metal rear surround of the engne fan is the same size and fitment? Would this from an 8v fit a 16v?

Thankyou! The way I look at it, it is still running great and as long as I keep the cambelt and water pump healthy hopefully not toomuch will go wrong. If is does go wrong, then I can just sell the bits that are alright and I might miss the next show season with having to save some money to get a different engine. But, I do hope that doesn't happen!! :D

And it's not PINK! :camp: it's lilac / light purple !!! :clap:

How can you not be keen on purple/ blackberry!! To be honest I think this guy quoted me wrong as he is really cheap! Everywhere I went quoted around the £2000 mark for just seats and door cards, then an additional £400 for the roof lining. If you are serious about it give Chris at Trimmingtonic a ring. He specialises in camper vans but will also do watercools. 01282605112

Also started on fitting a double din unit into the dash. Started on my boot also.
