So I have the dreaded oil feed modification fitted by a PO, starving the bottom end and flooding the top end. Feed is teed off the oil pressure switch, so that is easy to remove. Question is how do I plug off the top end?

👍

There are spacers under the frame (yes I know these save the carpet when moving the seat) but these will stay out for now. And I am definitely not cutting any more holes 😁

Thanks for that (I assume you have a standard steering wheel?) So I have somehow lost 3 1/2 inches! I will remove the seats and make sure everything is as low as possible. I might be cutting a hole in the floor at this rate😁

👍

Thanks for your message - I think that is the late Spit but I have some investigation to do.

If I undo the clamp and pull towards me? (and I agree anything under the dash is a faff🥴)

Hi all hopefully someone can help me out. A bit of background - I replaced the steering column (PO had installed a dolomite column) with original. I also recovered seats Inc New foam. I only have clearance of around 4 1/2 inches - is this right? There is also a finger width of clearance above the column to the dashboard (I can easily get my finger in there). Is this right? Any way I can raise the steering column?

I will give them a call tomorrow and see if they wil👍

Thanks Chris, that is a really comprehensive answer. I think the seal that is fitted is certainly too deep and hard. It also is cut short around the striker plate i.e. not there at all. I think I will look at the DX73 and see what happens.

Looks like I have the wrong seal I assume this is a "P" seal I will get a DX73 and see if that cures it

Thanks, (Pete &Nigel) I will give them a call, (I need door seals as well). If I take the seal off it sits completely flat, so I am hoping the hatch isn't twisted. If I shim, would you shim the same side, on the hatch hinge or the roof hinge, or is it suck it and see?

I have a rear hatch that sits high on the bottom near side corner. I have seen others shimming the hinges? Any idea if this works or do I just have to live with it?

I definitely didn't do this little modification. But there is an idiot working on the car at the moment!

Thought I would give an update on this. After hours and hours of trying to figure this problem out, having bought a new hazard switch and flasher unit, nothing changed. I have then been painstakingly tracking down individual wires.....and last night a breakthrough, buried deep in the harness in the most inaccessible place above the steering column there it was - somehow in the past the RW wire (right turn) had been soldered to the RG wire (left turn). Cutting the RW and joining it back to where it should be has done the trick. So lesson learnt, though I am not quite sure what the lesson is!!
