White VR6 in Windy Yorkshire! :)

[Wayne2015 10]

Just tested my dash speakers using a 9v battery:

 

Nothing.

So they are dead?

 

 

 

Also

Unsure if I can find a replacement light switch loom.

If not,

Does anyone know what spec wire I need to replace the brown one?

[Sean_Jaymo 0]

Persevere with finding a loom, it looks burnt out up to the pin so will need replacing from there.

Oh

Ok, Sean ...

[Wayne2015 10]

Rained overnight ...

The sunroof leaks this morning :( :( :(

 

 

 

 

From driver drain tube...

 

From driver rear drain tube...

 

 

Is it safe to disconnect the drain tubes (attached to sunroof),

Pull it off and poke a coat hanger in???

Will anything break by taking it off?

 

Or it s supposed to leak?

Lots of rain - but i wouldnt say its heavy ...:shrug:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My sunroof drains are fine :thumbleft:

 

So why the leak around the front AND rear drain outlets??? :bonk:

 

[Wayne2015 10]

Next job - remove sunroof cartridge and do proper clean? :shrug:

[Chuggs1 10]

But are they clear all the way? Reconnect tubes and pour water into the gully see if water comes in from any where

[Tigerfish 10]

How did you tell the tube are clear all the way down, blow down them?

[Wayne2015 10]

Oh man

 

U mean i have to do it again? :eek:

[Wayne2015 10]

At b&q - let me see if they got cheap flexible thingy ...

[Wayne2015 10]

Lets try this then

 

[Wayne2015 10]

Gone for this instead!

Steel - so better at pushing thru :lol:

 

Still £2 a metre = £6 :eek:

Cant

 

Sunroof broke :(

 

Darent open it again :eek:

[Wayne2015 10]

I will have to, if that steel cable not go all the way! Grrrr

[Chuggs1 10]

Ah ok

[Wayne2015 10]

Happy guys?

 

About 2m pushed thru the front:

 

1.5metres for rear

But only passenget front cable pushed thru

The other 3 couldnt find its way out past the wheel arches :(

Thouh they all came out with a CLEAN cable

 

 

 

 

As Chuggs said,

Only way is to test with water ...and i cant. :(

[robrado974 1]

Open it manually ?

[Wayne2015 10]

Open it manually ?

 

I wish it was that easy, Rob! :eek:

 

One member did that and snap/broke his perfectly working spare sunroof

 

On eBay a seller did that and also snap/broke the sunroof he was selling

 

I did that (see link below)

And i do NOT want to be at a point sunroof can NOT be closed again :shocked!:

[Wayne2015 10]

Well

It still leaked :(

 

Same 2 places again (driver side front / rear) :( :( :(

[MZpog 10]

OMG Wayne, you have kids so probably have the tool to see if water can get out.....A water pistol (failing this a squeezy bottle)

 

Pull drain pipes off (like you did to shove the cable through) and at point blank, squirt water inside them and check if it gets outside. Have a cloth handy as you may just fill the pipe with water.

Thanks Stuart

 

I have a feeling its not the tubes - but water just sitting there (maybe dirt sat on the drain channels or something).

 

Water pistols?

U know how BIG todays water pistols are???? :lol:

I going to wait a month.

Will be moving house soon (lose garage AND my backup daily :( :( :( )

 

So either going all out to find a replacement sunroof -

Or remove existing broken one and give all the rain channels a good clean!

[Wayne2015 10]
