It's at the bottom of the corrugated arm attached to the seat with the seatbelt buckle slot in it which you push the seatbelt into. Sorry I didn't explain very well, I've seen a picture somewhere, I think on this forum but not sure, of this arm after the tensioner's been fired and you can see the ar...

DC

If the pre-tensioners have fired they should look slightly shorter, maybe have a look at interior pictures of other cars on the forum or for sale etc. and see if there's any difference.
Dave.

DC

Jonttt is right and it's much easier to do yourself than it looks. Make sure the original zip on the hood hasn't been damaged during the fitting of the existing after market window before shelling out around £160 plus on a genuine one. Might be worth posting a few interior shots of the zip for furth...

I bought some from Halfords a couple of years since, maybe they still stock it.

I'll take that as a "no" then.

I've purchased from you before and been delighted by your excellent quality and service.
Could you please clarify if club members still get an your additional 10% off on top of free shipping as on your site I can't work out how to do that.

I would also check the rear top mounts, my symptoms were as yours and it turned out to be a simple fix.
Try a search for "rear and mounts"

A friend of mine had a similar problem, sluggish, slow to rev up and seemed like a slight misfire, turned out to be a partially blocked exhaust due to cat breaking up apparently, just a thought though I don't know how you could easily check.
Dave.

DC

Common reason for this is inlet problem (blocked filter etc) but your Lambda is close to 1 so sounds ok. Its worth taking it for a hard drive before retest. Maybe the engine needs a blast to clean it up. This is well worth a try, also make sure it's tested soon after you arrive whilst the engine is...

my winter may be more like your summer in the UK with temperatures ranging from three to eighteen celsius

Superb job and plastic trim looks good.

I have bought 2 of these, one for me and one for a friend and we both fitted them easily. Once on they are indistinguishable from OE.

Just a thought, are the tyres old?
I had this with my Morgan with tyres which where as new to look at but the rubber had gone hard.
Sounds odd but after fitting new tyres the ride was much softer and no more jumping about.
Dave.

Unfortunately it's part of the window itself (stitched in) and not available seperately, I wanted to replace mine when I got the car as it was perished in a couple of places but eventually bit the bullet and bought a new OEM window which is easy enough to fit yourself. I tried using other sorts of r...

Try fully lowering just one window, it reduces the buffeting for some strange reason.
Can't remember which side as since fitting a wind deflector I don't get any buffeting unless it's a very windy day, strong crosswinds etc..

My pre face lift is 75cm centres.

Chrome was no longer available when I got my new back box last year, but I did managed to get a black one.

Applied Autoglym in the same way as Snoops and it's still beading perfectly just as it was after I applied it around 22 months since.

I did a similar fix to Bon Bon. After 3 months showing empty I put STP petrol treatment in when I filled up (with 95 octane) with an instant result. This was about a year ago and gauge still OK. (shouldn't have said that) worth a try for about a fiver and if it doesn't do the trick it has reputedly ...

Similar just happened to me after filling up. Pump was one of those awkward ones that kept clicking off all the time and I inadvertently put more in than normal, didn't spill out but I think almost up to the cap. For the next 20 miles or so I got a strong smell of petrol on left hand bends and on in...

Excellent advice from Mike, though I think Puncturesafe is unsuitable for some low profile tyres due to the transverse ribs within the tyre. I think all cars should designed to be fitted with a "proper" spare wheel, how can a slim emergency spare even be legal? If using run flats, try not ...

Very true. Do you have to wait before putting the roof down? I.e. Fir it to 'settle in' It might be benificial to leave the roof down as often as you can at first, when I fitted mine it had a tendency for a while to kink outwards as I was lowering it. I think it needs to "learn" where to ...
