Wet BA

Rectified a little squeak....squeak...squeak from the front left today...uneven backing plate for the inner brake pad...or maybe just a tighter torque on the wheel nuts...but the noise is gone.

Wanted to post some pics..but don't seem to have any option for attatchments when posting...mmmm.

Next job I want to fix are the electric mirrors. Bought another door switch as original one had a damaged pcb in it. Fitted the replacement and drivers side mirror moved a little, then nothing?? Had a look around the fuse box area for a module with white and blue wires...yet to find it. Any suggestions??...other to do jobs (for now anyway) install a radio and lastly replace the passengerrear power window motor/regulator.

Hope to get some pictures up soon.

Paul

you'll have to upload externally and link to them.
suggest photobucket.com or imageshack
then get the url to the image and put it inside [IMG] tags
e.g.
Code:
[IMG]photobucket.com/myaccount/myastina1.jpg[/IMG]

welcome buddy.

Some pics

Here are a couple of pics of the BA






Standard...except for the hole I put in the front bar when it spat out a wet ramp while going onto the trailer.
