I think the originals were cast with the pipes in place so they were well and truly attached but the pattern part makers now bond them in after casting which is a lot easier but not so reliable☹️

Think to detach the glass you have to separate the two 607867 clips each end of the window regulator bar. Not sure if theyre screwed on or a press fit but you have to get round to exterior side of the glass. The drawing is courtesy of Canley Classics and they also have one of the door glass itself...
-
Yes Im guessing its this type to be used with a spacer block?
-
I think stainless inherently makes exhausts noisier as the metal can be thinner. Then to keep the cost down after market units are made with the absolute minimum of internals (and possibly thought)....
-
I wonder if our water pumps are less likely to start leaking with waterless as theres no pressure? Ive had a few seals go and of course the only remedy is to replace the complete pump (or alternatively go for the mechanical seal upgrade which I havent tried yet)....
-
I think it was probably a manufacturing fault and the pipe had never properly bonded in. However losing a measureable amount of fuel requires quite leak and it would absolutely stink!
-
Even better but give the pipes of the spare a good tug first😁
-
Im sure it could be repaired with epoxy metal Cliff but you cant really take the risk and the cost of a replacement pump is minimal. Only possible problem with a new item is that some people have found they produce too much pressure so causing their carburettor float valves to leak...
-
They have a rechargeable battery so can start up automatically with the 'impact when parked' function is activated. In my experience this battery eventually fails and then the camera loses its settings😞

Wont the male/female connection look a bit of a carbunkle?
-
Thought you wanted to solder that usb extension cable on?
-
Ok just need to wire that unit into a ignition switched feed then👍
-
Yes that will do it Paul but then difficult to use it for anything else like phone or torch charging?
-
oh and think at the same time you might as well order a new USB cable as not worth soldering a plug on the end of that one in case you get the connections wrong....
-
Ive just wired one of these (8 quid ebay) in my glove box or you can get them without voltmeter or even install a cigarette lighter socket and plug in a USB socket to that...
-
Ha yes you need to wire in a USB socket in the car. What has happened to the plug on the end of the camera cable?
-
yes USB connection is white and green for data, which for a stand alone camera shouldnt be necessary, while red and black are +ve and -ve 5 volt respectively...
-
Certainly get onto Rimmers as there could be a batch like it plus refund AND compensation...
-
Only one way to find out - cant wait😍 Might be a business opportunity here....
-
Do you mean the two radiator mounts where the chassis rails meet the front bar t-stag? If so what does your radiator sit on or have you got a non standard set up?
-
Unfortunately it looks to be made more difficult by the design of the the sports unit as its inlet pipe seems to be straight instead of having the dog leg of the original. Cant believe how theyve got it so wrong although I see its the same one sold for both Mk2 and 3 while the original is different for each model...
-
Is it possible to get the back box a bit further to the right so that its mount meets the body bracket as I dont like the existing fixing much? There should be a rubber hanger strip between the two or maybe you could just uses a rubber spacer and a bolt straight through so its held more rigidly. Either way a second support is essential just in case that body bracket breaks...
-
Still its better than Love Island, Naked Attraction, Big Brother, Pimple popper and a myriad of other reality TV programmes eh?
-
At least they got the marque right🤣
