  1. Seat Rail Slider Mechanism

    The owner was not happy with the loud noise when operating the
    slider motor of the driver seat.

    Yes, indeed. It was really noisy......
    So, took the seat out.

    really cold in the winter and activate the slider motor.

    The owner told me that he was annoyed by the rattling noise
    coming from the small plastic cover at the rear view mirror.


    So, started applying tiny amount of felt wool behind the cover.

    This is just the beginning of the modification and

    all sorts of noise after the security system

  4. Driver Door Speaker Noise

    The owner mentioned that after the installation of the aftermarket security system,
    he lost the audio sound at the driver side speaker and
    only heard white noise or cracking sound.

    So, started the service with the Health Check.





    It’s not leaking but there was a tiny marking on the ABS high pressure hose.
    It looks as if it's leaking but it's because I wiped the area with my glove.

    It was just on the outer sleeve and internal hose was fine but
    probably best to replace it next
