Sponge

[dean_ratpac]

Hi everyone,
A quick question really, has anyone experienced when driving over 50MPH+ getting a very subtle airflow through the tiny de-mist holes on top of the dash, also a slight bit of warm air coming under the steering column. Problem is I cannot actually pin-point it. The lack of being able to bend myself in half has also stopped me.
Although must search for a nice blonde to see if she' could check whilst I drive :he he:
I do remember from my last cerb there was a recall about putting some sponge up into the wing, as air goes through the front (light pod or hole next to indicator) up though the wing and into the car.

Has anyone found some sponge up there, or done this fix?

Thanks in advance

Deano

I'll have a look at mine Dean. At the moment I get something very puzzling once the car is up to temp. I get a sauna effect coming through the window vents or gearbox vent. Absoulutely pure steam. Its quite weird seeing it dissapearing out of the now open windows like an early morning dylanesque fog. Is yours just air rather than steam?

Dean,

I seem to recall reading a posting on an aircon fix than involved entering the front wing through the headlight opening and fixing the flap closes with cardboard and foam, this fixes the poor aircon operation, I guess this is what you are thinking of? sorry cant be more detailed, do a search on aircon upgrade.

Pete.

Do you have a copy of the workshop manual. I believe what you are looking for may be explained in great detail in the service bulletins.

[robertjp]

and me if there is such a thing? is it the same as the Steve Heath bible?

[oli_quick]

Has anyone got a copy of this with decent contrast on the images...my copy is very hard to look at the scanning looks like it has been done with a fax machine..:-s

thanks.

[Extra 300 Driver]

It was done years ago when scanners were not very good. Its not on .pdf.

Images are terrible, i've lightened up a few in 'PS' (ones's i used) but a lot a quite useless anyway. I wonder now, since the age of the car, and now it has ceased production, whether someone can get hold of some later versions. plus the missing sections!

Still, no matter its got to be flipping useful thing to have, can't wait to have a look at it!

Any chance of getting one.. Not via e-bay.

I'm near Kingston so could come to pick up. E-mail via profile.

Last time this came up for sale there was a significant discussion on this site re illegal software selling! Would suggest that the selling isnt deemed very morally sound albeit the 'lending' of software is more acceptable
