swapped out rear drivers lock as motor was going before winter and the puddle light microswitch was playing up, got parts to replace them to make up a new lock, but it may be the solder joints, will see

Service today. Got rid of the magnetic sump plug because I thought it was leaking after re-using it so many times, but the leak seemed to be coming from the transmission, but gears are fine. Ordered a new fuel filter holder as mine's seized and the screw head is rounding. So many things I do that don't really need doing, and if I sell the car, nobody will care about those things, but I just... need to do them.

Before I forget, does anyone know what tape to use to fix this on? Bought a door off Thai and have been meaning to swap this door strip from my old door to the new one. I've got some foam 3M tape, but need the strip to sit flush and I think the 3M tape is a bit too thick.

very strong weatherproof tape like you say 3m, one part of mine lifted as it looked like accident damage repair before i had car,i used that Butyl tape but even then the original was really strong and im not sure if it has clips as i never checked when replacing locks



had a look and this comes up and the 3M VHB and looks really strong https://www.3m.co.uk/3M/en_GB/p/c/t...diwyzSeHQBziMCCQv6rH5pHJg9_Ke3KUaAo1mEALw_wcB
