viking Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 i did try put towing eyes on too but the bolts wasn't long enough as there was a gap between where the bumper sat, but when i bolted it on it drew it up, so i will take it off tomorrow and try again, sat in place waiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 handles have to pull up to open........if it was the other way round the handles would bounce down everytime you went off road at speed...and the door would open... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Just had to order a pair of lock fitting retainers as I bust mine taking them off. Doh more delays. Did you really pay £60 for them towing eyes? Edited June 22, 2016 by Fuji Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Question, I'm now looking at buying some wheels as I'm on a bit of a buying frenzy and want to get every thing I need bought, in my parts manual I'm sure it said the wheels or tyres should of been 16 X 600. Ben when I look for some they all say there 16 X 5.5 and there for the LWB. what's the difference. And I take it 16 X 600 is a 16 inch high and a 6 inch wide wheel.

viking Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 so today i decided to get the seals and glass in the windscreen, got everything together and then realised that the original bit of glass was tinted like the side windows, i didnt expect the front to be tinted, so it was a case of buy another not tinted bit or try find a tinted bit, but i put it all together anyway, you cant hardly tell one side is tinted . . . . .

Fuji Shooter Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Today I fitted the one piece defender door seals to mine like everyone suggests you do. Now I am unable to close either door. On a brighter note fitted the vent flap seals and seat rails so nearly ready for an outing. Oh and bought a 90 that I have had to hide at the office as the wife does not know yet.

viking Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Well I got a full set of seals and window channels and what not. 50 units in all. Mine are for the S3 so I hope I have better luck than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
