Get new battery for your remote first.

Cleaning the brushes will help but it just delays it failing.

The auto up could be just the switch. but thats just a mabye. pull it off and clean it a bit.

Best to test the simple things first.

And mabye the drivers window might need a postion reset.

I have recently switch to the newer remote from the old one as the buttons on it had bad wear and i was having troubles, then switched to the 2nd remote and still had the same problems so i'm not sure if the battery will do anything.

I am just going to buy new motors and lock actuators, i doubt the cleaning of the brushes will fix the auto function and window position. Will have to look into how to fix the window position if the new window motor doesn't fix that.

has anyone found a guide for the DIY door lock actuator replacement? I keep finding the $5 fix but i have a actuator here ready to go, i replaced the power window motor yesterday and that was easy but the door lock actuator looks very tricky to get to and i didn't want to play with it until i found a guide.

cheers

done plenty of them. gram the fsm and go play. no one is goingbo hold your hand on this. get in break shit and learn ;)

Alright so maybe you can answer my questions Chris. Does the window have to come out? What is the easiest way to access the door lock and replace it? and what is the average time you'd think it'd take 2 mechanically sound blokes to do it?

Yeah I could do with a few images to deal with the trickier parts towards the end and I think I'll be leaving the glass in if possible, If the key fails to open the doors too does that suggest something more than an actuator?

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
