what have you done to your car today ?

Hi, what did I miss?

No idea what the part is called, but have you got the inner doorskin for the outside rear door knocking about with the regulator etc. still attached?

This, but for the other side:

I go on Google looking for an image and it turns out it's my own bloody photo...

So you need an offside rear window regulator panel?

Oil and filter change. Halfords have 5 litres of mobil 1 5w-30 ESP for £48 atm, then if you use the code MOTORING10 at checkout you get a further 10% off making it £42.

does anyone know how to get hold of the genuine CUPRA R splitter these days?

Discontinued unfortunately.
Lots of people after them understandably.
I was fortunate enough to get a genuine new one end of last year but it came from Latvia.
Seat probably thought they’d made enough to last for years but every Tom, **** and Harry put them on other cars too.

Oh f*&% that! "Yeah just drill out the rivets", having drilled out rivets in the super sturdy *ahem* metal of those door cards, I'd just stick a whole new (second hand) one in ???

Anyway, it's not as daunting as it may seem, the hardest part is either removing/inserting the glass (faffing with seals, yeesh) or undoing the door mech electrical connector (pro tip for anyone who wants to know: push it inwards before pulling down the locking bit and wiggling the connector off).

Seen the whole inner panel and regulators sold on eBay

If you've got one... I'll probably regret doing it as all these jobs are a pig to do, but yes.

Couldn't find an inner door around the north west anyway so I had little choice but to buy a regulator. Will report back when I've done it / got stuck and burnt the car to the ground.

thanks pal that's a shame, there is a 3 piece one on eBay looks the same but i can not see it fitting well without the proper lugs on it to locate the bumper.

 

[Thai-wronghorse]

Those 3 piece replicas are utter dogshite.

Awesome - thank you. The car's been good to me this past year since I fixed all the boost leaks and polybushed it. I owe it - and it'll be nice to not have that random knocking sound from the rear that pisses me off to no end. Couldn't believe it when I saw it. Given that it wasn't me who duct taped the regulator because they broke the fixings, that and the fact they then passed it back to me like that without saying a word.

There's a name we give people like that.

Rocking horse **** I know but put me on your list when you get your hands on an original LCR splitter..

Opened the door. Discovered this. I’m assuming it came from under the seat. Is it easy to fit back on?

Lesson learned - don’t look at your 20year old car - something will break. ?

Yup, got the same spring sat in the shed. I never worked out where it is supposed to live either.

Go to car and absofeckinglootely dead.
Go to charge battery, 6v, oh dear.
Force charge it with proper old fashioned charger.
And, it only goes to 10.5v.
Shorted cell. Bugger.
Battery is an ex battery.
Disappointing as it was a genuine Honda battery,
I've seen a few Jap batteries still going strong after eight years

Thursday was dead alternator on Berlingo.
Saturday, injector failed on Berlingo.
Monday, the sodding Seat has joined the eat money party.

096 battery here we come.
