Connor H - Take a look at this


Tbh though just took it for a proper drive and this E valve sucks. I was hoping it would cure my constant limp mode issue but I’m tempted to just throw the old on there anyway as if it was truly buggered it would have thrown a specific n75 code

Limp mode again today so taking that piece of sh*t E valve off and putting my trusty F on there.

FWIW i did try to get a replacement of F but doesnt seem to be sold anywhere, they replaced it with the E model so not sure whether i'd be buying the right one.

Fitted new drivers door catch mechanism and window regulator today. Catch started to get a bit hit n miss so thought id do it before it stopped for good.
Used an after market regulator and not really happy with it. However much i giggled and adjusted it, it still goes really slow on the last 6-8 inches when going up.
Going to order a pucka one from TPS on Monday.

Thought id take a look at the window regulator again before ringing TPS.
Took the door trim off and lowered the glass so i could see the 2 retaining bolts through the inspection holes.
Loosensed them then operated the window up n down a few times and retightened them.
Seems better so will leave it for now.

Replaced 2 window regulators in the last week. Checked for wet carpets thismorning and look dry. No sill lakes either :)

Mine are knackered and need a refurb. One is losing 4psi a day out of the (new) valve

Can confirm it makes a difference. I used to have to top up 20psi every week, but with a refurb and a set of new tyres I've been able to leave it for weeks without having to touch them.
