Not what I did but more so what my Bora has done to me today.. I fell victim to a failing right rear door lock mechanism.

Symptom is :

No lock action using either Key Remote or the lock/unlock button in the window switch cluster
Lock pin can be pushed down manually - door locks. Door can be unlocked using the inside handle.

So, now its a case of finding time pull apart the door and remove the mech, check for dry solders... or just buy a new part and straight swap.

Anyone got a spare right door lock handy??

Thought of it collecting dust. Might be time to do something about it...

God I hope so - it was your build thread that hooked me on this forum ...

Mine was playing up months ago. Obviously still unfixed.

Got my very urgent package today. (Care of dub-addiction, very fast postage

) Only to find out that now my bolts don't even touch the thread which is a very scary thought! that means i only had at most 5mm of thread on the bolts since i put my new wheels on (assuming the new discs aren't that much thicker) Yay for scareyness, So $180 later i should be getting new bolts coming in by friday (Not such a bad thing to do anyway)

Also got new side markers which replace the cheap and nasty ecs ones which don't actually seal or fit :S
New and old

New

Old

That link appears broken in my browser for some reason

so I can only guess what these new wheels are ... Did you sell the flat fives, the porsche or the BBS? So many good wheel combos ...

Last night I fell victim to the dreaded window regulator clips snapping and the passenger side window plummeting into the door with a resounding crash - man that is a way to freak anyone who happens to be a passenger at the time right out!

Not sure if I need the whole assembly since the window is now stuck down and kind of rattling around, or whether new clips and some ingenuity will fix the problem. It looks like a reasonably complicated fix if Vortex is anything to go by ...
