personally I'd say that getting an acceptable uniform finish would be absolutely impossible, but thats just my view.

I'm going in!

Right team the weathers dry ish,

So i'm off down to "pat williams" car parts to get a :

oil filter
fuel filter
and some engine oil

Today i aim to change the above filters and oil, do the drivers door, and locate all the gear box bits so i can change that also!

So out with the axle stands!

Any secrets you would like to release to getting a professional job with the film? I have had acouple of go's at it, and find it almost bloody impossible to get every wrinkle out...

DIY...



cheers terra!

As for tints, i used youtube to see how its done, just not sure which tint to use? dark or medium because the rears were tinted when i got it.:nenau

I did the new door, but now the passenger window has stopped working, there is a fuse relay in the engine bay, the drivers window and sunroof still work.

As for the filters i need a filter chain/wrench and a big spanner to get the fuel filter sensor off. Who ever said hand tight sampson?





Am i right that this is the engine oil drain plug? this is a bolt the others are further back and need a 10mm bolt to open.

Its never this hard at sea...

yep thats the drain plug... to remove the white sensor in fuel filter use grips .... easy

 

[dsgrnmcm]

Grips? easy? what grips?

Mole grips?

plumbers grips? will try tomorrow. and ideas on the passanger window? could the relay in the engine kill one window but operate the others?

cheers col!

 

[extreme-4x4]

no idea on the window . try the ususl bang and or slam the door
check fuses etc

for starters

 

[zippy656]
