Re: I hate my drivers side pop up

had a look at the pop up strut and it felt very stiff and i could not budge it once it was disconnected from the pop up base. Does the pop-up work when you simply remove the strut?

Hi, that's an 88, and I like to say that the electrical system is a nightmare ( een klote zooi ) the speedometer stopt to work if I kick the fusebox, then it start work again :-((((( I won't say that this has anything to do with the fuses.

Driving with only the parking-lights on isn't allowed here either, but (sadly?) possible. So all the kids with the small BMWs think its cool to drive around with parking-lights and fog-lights ...
