Noticed the drivers door handle surround (outside) is loose and wobbly.

I guess i'll have to take the door trim off to fix it? I hate door trims at the best of times. Is it easy or difficult on ours. Any info will be kept strictly confidential.

Cheers, 66yo :rant::O

Easy, well made.

Look in the DIY section under headunit install, trust me, it's there...

door trims are easy as pie after the first time.

They're even easier the second time around as most of your clips have been broken so the door trim should come off easily... he he he.

I removed mine once a few months back and took photos of the whole process so I could post it up in the DIY section...but I havent yet as I only learnt how to post a picture a few weeks back.

so I''m not much help to you.

thats soo true, who the hell decided plastic clips were a good idea when after a few years they go brittle as shit and just smash when u try and remove them :)

obviously doors trims were decided over a working lunch with a few warm sakes

Did you know that wind up windows for the BMC Mini were designed in Australia, in the canteen, at lunch time. : :):laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::nuke::nuke:

I fixed it proply this time. It was easier the second time around.

There are TWO nuts to tighten. One you can get to with a ring spanner, the other with a long extension socket. Both 10mm. Also you need a good torch to see inside. :D:kiss:

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
