Removing inner door handle from doorcard
henry.0112 replied to brownah's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
If I remember correctly (I did this 2 years ago and have since moved on from lupos lol) the spring does have to be removed but it’s very self-explanatory as to how it goes back together and I never had any issues after they’d been apart -
Ah ok mate, knew they would stick out a bit but don’t want it stupid crazy. Might hand my own to 7 ish
-
Just a standard 1 lite mate

Had an offer to swap 2 of my 6j g60 steels for some that are banded 8j and wondering if anyone knows if they would fit? Would be running 195/50 tyres. Cheers

Hi, I’ve just bought a Momo which means I need to get my old wheel off. No matter how hard I try I can’t for the life of me get the right clip to release. I managed to get the left one out but looking inside the holes they look different. Can anyone help? Would be much appreciated

Turns out that nearly two years ago when I bought the car the little round black thing in the ash tray was a replacement genuine Vag selector shaft seal, could be a free repair??
-
Ahh cheers pal that saves me a lot of headache, it looks like it is coming from there so will probably just keep topping it up??
-
Noticed that my gearbox has been slowly dripping since I bought my lupo. As I’m wanting it to be as flawless as possible for when I start to drive I want to replace whatever seal it is that’s causing the leak so looks like I have to pull the box. Wondered if anyone had any tips as I’ve never done anything as involved before. Car is a 1.0 AUC if that helps. Cheers

Doing a complete subframe overhaul which includes replacing all the bolts, only part number I can't find is for the 2 front main subframe bolts. Anyone happen to know the part number for them? Cheers
-
Yeah the first bolts I tried to loosen we’re the 4 subframe ones and thankfully they all loosened instead of just spinning
-
Was thinking of jet washing it then wire brushing any surface rust then stone chipping it, waxoyl the inside of it and maybe the outside. Also thinking of putting a kind of skid plate or undertray on it too
-
Yeah it’s on he drivers side unfortunately, to be fair mate I wanted to refurb my sundframe anyway so might as well do it now or i’ll never get round to it
-
I spontaneously decided that maybe restoring my subframe would be a good idea so started off by seeing if all the bolts would loosen, turns out that one wouldn’t
-
Nah mate unfortunately a bolt that holds the rack to the subframe has snapped so I need to get access to the top of the rack to weld a bolt to what’s left of the old one to stand a chance of getting it out. Thanks anyway
-
Can anyone tell me if I need to drop the subframe to remove the steering rack? Cheers
-
I did the 2 bolts and pulled it towards me and worked a treat! Thanks for all the help!
-
I know mate, mine never seems to be that accurate though. Had a few cases where something’s clearly on the piss but my phone says it’s level.
-
Will do pal, won’t be a while until I get round to it so if I have any problems i’ll Let you know
-
Ahhh I see??
-
Explain please?
