Re: Central locking not working

Does it work with the passenger door? Have you checked the connections behind the door card? How are you with car electrics, can you use a meter if you have one?

Re: Handbrake Cables Knowledge

Replace all 3 because the replacements have a larger size nipple to the originals, so you have to place all 3 parts. They ate a bit of a pain to do, and good luck with the heat shield.

Cool, somebody else with a 3D printer! I have never attempted ABS with mine but made all sorts from PLA.
