thanks...havent got round to this....but you make it sound easy... i have some of the straight connectors...the type you mention and the crimping car ones...and the tool to crimp hope its just the wire, but that is as far as i will hazard just now... i have set the passenger mirror by hand and its ok for position just now...i wont be changing my seat position for a bit i think the drivers door side works ok.. cheers geof

that seems a simpler and less complicated start...and saves £££ will do that this afternoon just a matter of pulling the rubber boot off the door side/ or body work?? cheers geof

good work batman i couldnt get a sausage...poor me many thanks geof

well i feel exhausted.... loads of left hand drive switches on ebay....and the only ones i can see under the 5J fabia designation are £90-100 made in germany thought there might be some to suit my fabia facelift 5J 2008 model...cheaper...is it the electrical heating side of things which push the price up!! this is the part no i have been googling with SJ2959565 i think maybe the 6J part looks the same but seem to be all listed for lhd...and in $$ https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1zEAxLFXXXXaRXXXXq6xXFXXXd.jpg mine looks like this but is the other way round anyone who has cracked this please let me know...will be really pleased cheers geof

this goes sooooo well with the youtube link @spartacus68 posted....will cherish both cheers geof

that makes it look really simple...no tugging and fussing with door clips... will have to now get a replacement....they seem to be a bit expensive as they come with a heating circuit control...yikes..£100!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332784131888 which i would not ask for normally...ie a simple1 0 2 switch no element symbol will keep surfing though.... many thanks for that link cheers geof

its this type of trim

My mirror adjustment switch is not moving the left hand mirror i have adjusted it by hand i understand that to replace it means the door trim needs to be removed?? how does one do this please Never got on with trim removals, fords and vw’s Any advice gratefully received cheers geof

the curvature is always a difficulty so with post processing we have to interfere with what is real..!! i got caught out with a siimilar effect caused by tilting a wide angle lens on a view cheers geof

EXACTLY!!! i use this as well ...distortion reversal...sort of

good composition and lighting not too dark, good use of stop down but.........watch those horizons. although the verticals seem ok...

CHEERS!!! and congratulations... good shots

brilliant spot...you get these type of nearly on the course at the isle of man TT were you an official? cheers geof

no smelly engulfing happened as far as i can gather the car is 87000 and 11 years old...and you are right no DPF on this model what i put down to the turbo coming in is a release of power as i depress the throttle in a lowish gear to accelerate and as i said...there is a twisty hill near me on the road from falmouth to helston it goes down and then up with a tight bend at the bottom....what i normally do is come down the incline and at the bottom be in second gear or perhaps third... then as i take the bend give the engine a burst of throttle...i can feel the acceleration then...which i take is the turbo...no huge puffs as far as i can see...9 months ago i gave the car the full clean out with the once a year cleaner...and have then followed on with the fill up cleaner each tankful...usually 40 litres.. recently after my last fill up with texaco and added the cleaner....(i avoid supermarket fuels..and the overpriced regular shell diesel)....the engine seems smoother and due to i think the better weather quickly registers 40 mpg through the town and then 55-58 on a longish 50mile return journey keeping around 60mph... last summer the same journeys were getting 63 mpg.. i dont normally drive hard but use the high vacuum principle slowly increasing speed to cruising...albeit i like to exercise the turbo to "clean" it...its there and i reckon not using it is problematical what makes it cut in is not too clear ....its a vw 1.4 Tdi engine its 220 miles to a fill up and i will be doing the annual clean out... last 2 mot's gave the reading PASS so i assume they would find out then if smokey was a problem... glad of this discussion really and greatful for your help and advice cheers geof

yes thats it...saw it the other day as i turbo'ed it up a hill in second...a puff showing in the sunlight...now i know think it only happens when i really accellerate up to 3000 rpm in a low gear which i understand means the turbo is cutting in..?..not really sure how it works its about time for an annual clean out with the Archer "once a year cleaner"...AR6400-D MAX i am quite sure one mans meat is another mans meat in this situation where what it does is not really what its called but what it is...? any product name will do!...the same. thanks for the reply... ps my local garage who does my servicing and repairs and the garage where i get the aircon done both have Forte product for sale.. cheers geof

thats a cool shot...methinks a difficult angle...??

i use the additives on recommendation and do get favourable results...smoother running, and increased mpg i could go back to not using them of course and see if there is really an advantage to using archoil products but i couldnt see if the injectors were getting cleaned and the turbo... i cant maintain the injectors easily although i know how from other experiences with diesels...so i concentrated on that if it was an advantage which firstly drew me to the thoughts of using a cleaning additive which is also reputed to raise cetane levels?? being new to owning a diesel i chose to use these additives as i also used additives to my previous petrol car what do you think? cheers geof
