3 small problems

[brian chim]

Like the title says 3 small problems.

1. Drivers side window rubber on the out side has torn. Can you get a replacement? and where from? How easy is this job?

2. I have a relay ticking behind my dash board. Its will be the indicator relay due to when im locking my car the indicator sticks on. What will be the problem? Either the relay its self or will it be the alarm? (factory alarm, 1994 chim).

3. Changed my brake pads with my mate 10 days ago. When you renew the fluid do you have to go corner to corner e.g front driver - rear passenger - front passenger then rear driver, or doesnt it matter?

Any help is apriciated.

Cheers Bry

1 - yes, from www.tvrgear.com - easier to email them and ask

2 - dunno, probably

3 - I would have thought it wouldn't matter

Most car manuals say do front off side then rear near, front near and then the back. Some say start with the back first. Any one know why it matters?

The rule of thumb on bleeding is to start nearest to the master cylinder and work progressively away from it. Unless someone has gone crazy re-piping your baby then Driver's front wheel, Passenger's front wheel, Driver's Rear Wheel, Passenger's Rear Wheel Bon Chance !
The principle is to push any possible airlocks down the system and not re-introduce them after one line has alreeady been bled.

I had a similar problem to this re the alarm relay and a small twist of the relay may fix or a clean of the contacts, or failing that, a new relay which if i remember correctly is a ford indicator one! (PS the indicators down one side of my car were staying on all of the time with the foxguard alarm)hope this helps
