Door weather strip
One of my weather strips, that provides the seal on the outside against the base of the door glass, was in a bad way. A replacement has arrived but Im scratching my head as to how to fit it. Does the door glass need to come out to change or can it be done without ?

Re: Squeaking wheel
Another trick with the piston is to carefully rotate it a quarter of a turn whilst you are checking it/ pressing it back in. Ive resurrected 3 sticky calipers over the years just by doing this

Re: Squeaking wheel
Have you tried putting a small amount of copper grease/ anti slip compound on the back of the brake pads ? That usually fixes the front brake squeals for me

If you can PM me your email address Lindsay I can send photos of how the EPAS column is shortened and an example of how to make up the intermediate shaft and bearing.

Re: DIY power steering write up ?
Thanks Lindsay I dont have an oscilloscope sadly to check whether the Lite Steer GPS device's square wave output for the road speed is pull-up or pull-down. It may be worth advising Lite Steer you have a specific requirement, are aware they supply a device for the MGF but need them to confirm the ou...

Re: DIY power steering write up ?
The GPS unit I bought to generate the road speed signal came from a company called Lite Steer. I found it on Ebay rather than their own website which is focused more on complete steering systems rather than controllers. Its case and connectors look extremely similar to examples on the Bridgwater Ele...

Re: DIY power steering write up ?
Thanks Lindsay. It would be interesting to see the EPAS motor joined into a B column so that you could keep the original steering wheel and stalks. In my case I decided this was beyond my engineering skills when i realised the turn sensor would also need to be transplanted. To make mine less obvious...

Re: DIY power steering write up ?
Thanks Paul. I hope to have the next part around mounting the EPAS column available soon. Its been taking a bit longer than expected as Ive had to remake the main mounting bracket a few times in order to get the correct clearance and orientation. At least when it's done there will be enough informat...
