Dark grey M reg heading East on the A25 Friday morning I was in my van, somewhere between Sundridge and Seal(!) it all ran into one in the sloooooow traffic

Cheers for that, I was wondering if the housing might have had historic issues with other owners. I might try and add an o-ring between the pipe and metal outlet or neoprene tape or summat!

Pretty much as the title...I've had a leak around the crank breather outlet forever, I tried a Jubilee clip (green) on the rubber pipe at the outlet and cable tie (blue) on the small connection with the only other clamping being the OEM hose clip (purple). It currently has a rocker cover leak, but if I'm fixing that I figure I ought to sort this bugger out at the same time! What should I look for/try next?🤷

10.30 this morning, silver C coming the other way on the A361. I was heading NE away from the West Country going to Kent, only saw you at the last minute, got a wave off but I was behind a large camper going up hill!

Fixed mine today, the flange had snapped off, doesn't look oem but I don't care!! I cut down a 15mm brass water pipe fitting, having checked clearance with blu-tac(!) and screwed it on with some Araldite Steel epoxy. I added a pond liner rubber gasket under the brass nut, seems to work a treat!

Available on ebay... £18.75 Inc postage https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203559633064?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=j87aptQhR0m&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=wSClran9TgK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Well it took a while to get top of my list again, broken solder joint where I'd slaved in the late interior switches... So I probably needlessly replaced the regulator mech, good job it was spare and not bought especially ... ALWAYS fault diagnose... don't assume 🙄🙄🙄

Ahh those bits, got you 👍 Good here so far, it's rainy and I have tap issues here at the mo... Oh and I drive it for 40mins yesterday, stopped for fish n chips then had to get my partner to come out with a jump pack to start it..... Deffo some issue there, though no battery light 😒🙄🙄

Yeah happy to mess about with multimeter and jump links, although I need the doorcard off anyhow cos it sounds like the yellow tip of the regulator frame is tapping on the door 🙄🙄 I thought there was some potentially tricky issue with the late switches 😉 Do the clips tend to break or what? Thanks for all the input peeps. I'll have a bash at shorting the plug and getting the motor moving. I still have the old motor so I could take that apart and try and revamp that if necessary. May well take Cressa up on the switch offer if that ends up being the only fix....I'd really like to mend what I have though!!!

Cheers, I did this to my early switches but changed to a late interior some years ago. I'm having drivers window issues so looking at options. Was working after I changed the regulator, until I put the doorcards back on Not even getting a relay click now. The idea of buying a switch off ebay to fault find for £55-70 doesn't appeal!

There definitely used to be a 'how too' on dismantling, cleaning & repair of early electric window and mirror switches many moons ago, I've looked but can't find anything for the later switches. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I'm guessing it's not possible to delete the brown plastic fuel return line NRV on top of the swirl box and fit an online item because the box also utilises the return to the tank? I have a small cracking the rim where you can replace said NRV. Contemplating cleaning it all up and chemical metaling the bastard......

All the headlining etc is out at the moment already - I was just wondering if I could source the problem in advance so I could drop it, fix it and refit in one go!! As I thought that's not an option! Buggerations I'm guessing a broken cable or such cos it won't manually shut either

My Corrado has been sat for a long time with little intervals of use for various reasons and has had half the interior out for sometime because the sunroof broke just as it was closing from fully open, so it not only doesn't work, its bloody noisy too!! Now there are parts available (via K-rado) it might kick my arse into locating the issue. To that end if anyone can suggest how to remove the inner panel WITHOUT tilting it first I'd be very grateful, I'm not aware that it's possible... This would be at least give me a chance to try and reduce the wind noise and possibly confirm the issue without dropping it first. 😎😎
