Re: Rain getting in!
I`m having the same problem. Vent holes were taped up but the damage has already been done. Both bottom and top corners on mine have rusted through along with the adjoining bulkhead. Good luck .

Re: Fresh Air Grill
Looking at the pictures you sent in the link I`ve not only got the same problems with rust in the box at the bottom but also at the top and its rusted through into the bulkhead.

I`m trying at the moment to clean the paint off the box to find the spot welds lol. Once ag...

Re: Eberspacher
Thanks richtbiscuits I had some beetle ones handy and yes they are too small. My door cards and clips are ok I just wanted to replace a few of the perished rubber grommets and was wondering if someone else had found a suitable one off some other model?

Re: Eberspacher
Did a visual check yesterday and everything seemed ok so I twisted the switch. Green light stopped on, fan was working and the low growl of heater was heard. I was sat in the car and with hand above the demister exit waited for heat.....nothing! Got out of the car and noticed smoke coming from the b...

I was told by the previous owner that it worked but I have not needed it so I turned the dial on the dash and.....nothing, no green light nothing. Searched the internet and learned that the heater "pullup" by the handbrake has ...

Re: New radio in my car
That radio looks spot on. What model did they fit in the 412? I`ve got the hole and it needs filling but unsure which model to look for.
