A Few Niggles

[kbekl]

hi all i m having a few niggles i want sorted with the gal

 

first is the boot wont unlock with the central locking, the central locking wasnt working but managed to sort it with the relay fix and remove the control box completely, so how is the boot controlled and is their a simple fix ?

 

radio was working fine but all of a sudden it has started to loose setting and radio when the ignition is off and the key is removed so has to be reset when i next turn it on

 

the wipers don't stay on for a set amount of time when using the washers it just stops after i release the stalk

 

and the drivers window seems to have a damaged cable the motor is working fine but it makes a horrible noise and stops or resets to original starting place is their a easy fix for this or is it just a new regulator needed and can i use the passenger unit or not ?

 

cheers for any help

Radio problem - the radio has a permanent supply as well as a key switched supply, to keep the memory, this may have failed, check the connections and fuses.

on mine when using the washers,mine will only sweep iirc 2-3 times,are yours doing that or stopping instantly?

 

and the window,well you can change the cable,or just buy another regulator from ebay/scrappy and replace,detailed info in the faqs in the technical section.

 

and the boot lock,it may well be the wires in the rubber boot have frayed,open hatch top right rubber boot,if you cant get it open,then im afraid your have to search the forum for the fix to gain access.
