I know the original bolts are expensive at like 6 bucks a pop but i would rather spend 50 bucks on new bolts for the subframe than put some rusty shit on it, but thats just me. you do you, great work!
@marque_g21 күн бұрын
Fully agree, also they are one time use, coz subframe to body bolts should be torqued 90Nm + 45 angle + 15 angle, lower arm bolts should be torqed with suspension fully loaded and they also have a torque sequence.

What was the spark plug gap? 0.8 or 0.9mm?
@menditmatey3368Ай бұрын
I read up that 0.8-1mm is an exceptable range. Not sure if that is correct or not. I didn’t check these plugs, the car ran fine with them.

4 litres, excluding the oil filter.

Made the job easy. I have recently taken out both passenger side door locks. FOr the back one, you need to partially take out the window regulator to allown clearance for the lock to come out. FOr the front, n worries it slides right out!

Did you carry out any electrical tests before stripping down the door? Is it possible to determine if it's a motor problem before remving the door card. Thanks.
@menditmatey33682 ай бұрын
Hi, I didn’t do any electrical tests. I heard the cable snapping and making a grinding type noise when operating the switch. The front right window works intermittently on this car, I suspect it is the wiring loom that leads into the door that is at fault. I am hoping to do a video on this at some point in the near future. Thanks.
@geoffaries2 ай бұрын
Many thanks for that. I can hear what seems to be the motor trying to work, so maybe it is the cable unravelling and jamming the gearing.

@menditmatey33688 ай бұрын
Hi, you want to get enough tension on the belt that will allow you to twist it slightly on the bottom. I done that in this video but it isn’t the best to see with the camera angle. Too slack and it’ll slip, too tight will cause premature wear or cause it to be noisy. Hope this helps and that you get it sorted. Thanks.

Hi, If you remove the motor from the regulator it should allow you to pull the window up. Sometimes the wires in the rubber conduit going into the door from the car body can break and stop the window from working, worth checking. Thanks.

Really appreciate this format. No irritating background music is so appreciated. After being a bit freaked by the Hayes narrative am now cracking on with a lot more confidence. Getting the old bolts out is another story, needs time and patience to avoid rounding off bolts and destroying captive nuts. Advise any novices like me to study the many utubes on this topic. Great work on putting this together and sharing.
