Made a pannel for the hazard and central locking switch (need to put a hole in for the immobiliser LED). But I am not sure about it, want some opinions. The switches don't sit flush and I am not sure if I like it. I know I can get a different hazard light switch and work out the connections...

Who thought having both switches being fitted for the window to work was a good idea?!?! Passenger will have to suffer with the window constantly up. Although it is an excuse to fit poly windows now.......

I have just realised that picture of the door is awful! Damn glare on the glossy plastic. The look better in the flesh and not so rippled.

As promised pictures of my door cards as I knew some people couldn't contain themselved with the suspense of not seeing them :tongueclosed: lol Simple and effective I think. Do the job. As I said, when I put Lexan windows in I will change the design slightly as I have learnt how to do it now...

Thin black plastic. Came on a massive roll. I am just about to post pictures in my progress thread. Used a dremel to make cut outs for the window and mirror switches. This will be changed when I upgrade to Lexan windows at some point.

Damn and blast!!!! Thanks though for the wiring diagram. I should have checked before I started riveting. What a pain!

Door cards are now done!! Will post pictures tomorrow ewhen I'm back at home and on my PC. Was a bit of a mad rush as it started to rain with about 10mins to go! Bought a dremel to do the switches and it is simply the best tool I have ever used!! Simple things, simple minds :tongueout: although...

Currently I have the window switches on the drivers side on my nice light weight door cards I have made. Drivers window works. Passenger window doesn't work. Was working fine when I took the switch off. The passenger wiring doesn't have the switch on it, just an open terminal block. Do I need to...

I tried for 10mins and with no success so I ended up taking the bumper off as I was sure it was going to be less hassle and quicker. Just amazes me for a job that should be done by any motorist regardless of technical ability and also done at the side of the road the easiest way was to remove...

It's my job for tomorrow. Just picked the bulbs up now but too dark to fiddle with it. I hope it's not too much faff as I have stuff to do on the Ph1 I have to get done tomorrow!!

Sure I have some around in the spares box. Not sure why I found results to suggest it was otherwise, unless aftermarket lights. THANKS!!!!!!!!

That rear spoiler on the V6.....I WANT! That isn't the standard one is it? Where can I get? Also, why is the black 172 so high at the front? But look beautiful and clean, very nice :up:

Bulb has gone on the Ph2 daily (non-sport). Seen a few conflicting searchs to what it is. It is a H7 just to put my mind to rest so I can go get one. I would go and remove the blown one and check but it is dark outside to fiddling around the engine bay. And why are they such a pain to get to...

Just totalled up what I have spent this winter on the car....it is more than what I paid for the car :tongueclosed: It will be so worth it in the end!

I now run an induction kit and the ICV has a small breather filter on it. If you have found where it should be on yours then good stuff. If it fell off you may want to consider either replacing the pipe if it has warn and become too large and loose or use a jubilee clip on in to hold it in place.

My car has been stood since September and not been used. I have a cover on it to try to keep the worst of the rain off to stop potential leaking. I also use thoise moisture traps inside it. Car is also started and left for about 20/30mins on tick over every week when I go home. Still sounds...

What, this bit?

Thanks! I know nothing has been taxing so far, but I have been out of practice of car maintanence since I left home a few years back. Tell me about it! I have been lucky to buy things when I can afford/find them and keep them until I need them. The new engine on the other hand may be a...

Managed to get some stuff doen over the Christmas break, not as much as I wanted due to not buying the right rivets! First was the goodies I got...new wiper blades and some rubber mats for the front Also fitted Citroen C3 mist washer jets. THis is now how they look...yes a brilliant picture I...

I do have them, they are currently on my car. However I haven't "used" them yet as the car has hardly moved 2 feet since September but it will be back on the road this month. They do look the part. My brother was impressed with them and he has had spacers and built his own track car before so...

Wasn't sure if you still had it for sale, worth the try!

I have glued it to one hinge as the bolt snapped off in the bonnet I could drill out....that isn't being removed!! I managed to remove the hinges, and then nipped up the bolts for alignment and testing then went to tighten it and one went pop. Rule 1 - use a torque wrench! Someone was breaking...

Thanks @green that is exactly what I wanted to see. This and MarkX's picture have helped. I will go buy a dremel and do this! Unfortunately it won't be until the new year as the car is at my dads and I only go there at weekends. I really need to get a house with a drive way.

@green do you have a picture of this? As if you say this will work then I would rather this than extend the loom. Do you mean clip in using the little tabs on the switches? @MarkX your door cards look nice, good little custom job there. And does anyone know the rule with window switches, as...

Just had a look at the loom....looks very simple when I can work out how to remove the bundle of wires in that rubber housing between the car and the door. Looks like there is a connection block screwed in in the car but I am not sure.

I have decided I am doing this! Making some extension cables from the existing switches and then feed back through the door and under the dash. I don't want to start splicing/butchering the loom as currently the car can go back to standard (with a hell of a lot of work!) as nothing has been...

Yeah, I was thinking that but I don't like the way the original button sticks out and not flush. So wanted a simple circular push switch (already seen the one I want) as it is easy to drill the hole out of the blank! I just need to source a working diagram for the existing switch so I can get...

That does look smart. I have started with the passenger door and the rivets I have aren't long enough in places! Damn double skin doors with varying thickness of material. But it is in place, I just need to source some longer rivets and finish it. I know what you mean about a long winded job, I...

I would really like then where the radio is on new paddle rocker switches, but there are so many pins on the back of the existing switches not sure it will be possible.

Currently making some lightweight door cards out of thin black plastic. I know what I want to do with the door handles. But the electric window and mirror adjustment switches are confusing me. What have people done so I can get some ideas? Tempted to not make holes for the window switches which...
