J-ME 10 Posted March 31, 2013 Really loud pop both dogs shat themselves and handle is now nearly verticle Is it cables gone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 31, 2013 Is it holding slightly? Take the tunnel cover off. My bet would be the spot welds on the mounting plate have given in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 31, 2013 Could be a cable but never heard of that happening before!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J-ME 10 Posted March 31, 2013 FMMFL so I now gotta strip seats out and weld it then? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 31, 2013 If what I suggested is the problem, yep! Just don't do it like this!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J-ME 10 Posted March 31, 2013 Is that how u done it??? LOL Lucky for me I'm a welder by trade lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 31, 2013 No mate! This is how I found it when I bought the car and stripped the interior out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J-ME 10 Posted March 31, 2013 Well here's hoping you made it better than that? Surely it would have been easier to get a length of round bar instead of a sacrificial deep socket? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 31, 2013 ^ Jesus H - that's insane!! They've even burnt the switch wire, muppets Yeah stripping out the interior is not too bad - you'll only be doing a few spot welds so doesn't need to come out completely! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 31, 2013 Yeah cover the carpet as well. The muppet that did mine didn't! You can see the pin holes and burns from the weld splatter. The whole car has been proper cowboy'd like this everywhere! Hats off to the bloke that did it though. Theres a village missing an idiot somewhere!

J-ME 10 Posted March 31, 2013 What piece of te carpet is that? And white?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted March 31, 2013 No its cream mate. It separates between the tunnel running down to the front footwells. Its both sides just below the tunnel part thats burnt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
