Any ideas how could I fix this leather the became unglued. I wonder why this happened. Maybe the leather shurnk because of the sun? Though the was dismanteled for painting and maybe got damaged in the process. I wonder if should even try gluing the are back somehow. Another thing is the...

Hey, I was replacing the diff lock actuator in my 100 with the one from 80, so when I opened it to extend the shaft, I saw this. It works okay, but don't look very good, there is corossion on the body and the extension mechanism itself. It also seems to have some sort of conductive paste on it...

Update in this: I tightened the reservoir with adding washers to the bolts. Now it stay in place way more firmly and I thought that it fixed the leak, but after a week of staying in the garage I see that it is still there, maybe smaller. Also I am almost sure about the location of the leak. Its...

You mean it will work okay if I just unplug it connect the left side speaker lines directly?

Can you bypass the dvd player? I like to use its place for additional storage.

The unit is not new, but from a low supposedly mileage car. After more inspection I found a drop hanging on one of the brake line fitting places, but also it can come from higher up, one of the rubbers on opening where the reservoir meets the master cylinder is wet and also whole reservoir...

Heh, yeah that solved it. Silly mistake. Now to find out where the leak is from. Maybe its where the reservoir connects to the cylinder, the reservoir seemed a bit more loose than the original when the unit arrived, maybe it got damaged during transportation. I suppose its not high pressure area...

Okay I'll try that. By the way, how does it measure the level inside the brake fuel reservoir? I thought that maybe I should add brake fluid, but I thought that the system probably can't tell unless the reservoir gets empty, does it have some kind of sensor?

Yes I have checked the level and it was straight in the middle between "max" and "low". And when driving normally its a little below the "low" line. I think I saw a drop of fluid hanging on one of the lines, but not very obvious leak also level did not seem to get obviously lower after 300 km...

Soo I replaced whole abs unit and after 300 km I again get the red brake warning light. It comes on after braking few times. Not immediately, but maybe after stopping two or three times at a stoplight and then turns off in about a minute. Sometimes in randomly turns off when I press the brake...

Old thread, but maybe someone could clarify. I have received a used locker and I am not sure if this is from 80 or 100, because to me it looks completeli the except for the connector. But what is it about the shaft? On mine they are exactly the same length.

Do you have ideas how to fix this moldy area? Structurally its ok, but I just want to get rid of the health hazard.

Maybe too late, but here it is. Its in cm.

Thanks guys, that is helpful. But one more question. How do you detach the power cable and the handle from the door to apply new vapor barrier, or you didn't have to do it? Because mine is all torn.

Only got up to do this now, but I can't find butyl in liquid form, all I can find are butyl strips so maybe I'll use that, or maybe you could suggest some other adhesive? Also, while I am dong this, maybe it would be a good idea to upgrade this vapor barrier by using something better than...
