Re: Assistance required: Herts/North London

I'm south Herts, about 5 miles from ULEZ-land. I'm K-series literate, not Honda.

(Coincidentally, I was recently interested in a 214 in Yorkshire, but discouraged by
transport costs as it wasn't road-legal.)

Re: R8 Windscreen Top Seal Part Number

I wonder if Rejel still have the extrusion tool? If so, it would be useful if it didn't get put in a skip!

Re: R8 Windscreen Top Seal Part Number

Also, if all else fails - have you got a local/roving glass fitter/technician or a local windscreen replacement shop that would source you a long enough strip with the required profile? Glass fitters can still be called out for R8 windscreen replacement as far as I know, as the R8 windscreens are s...

Re: 1990 R8 Electric Windows Problem

Stiffness anywhere would cause the motor to work harder, struggle or stall, depending how severe, so check the whole lift mechanism as well as the glass runners. While you're in the door, you could confirm that power is reaching the motor when intended. I had a speaker mute which I traced back to a ...

Re: Silver trim inserts in bodyside rubbing strips

The bumper ones have integral tangs at intervals which push into slots in the bumper.
The rubbing strip ones have a flat back and are held in by fiercely strong spongy

Re: Fitting a new Front Windscreen Finisher/seal

That'll be DCB10011 then. Even Rejel don't have them anymore.

finisher and retain it in place.
