Those oil cooler pipes are a horrible design and so exposed to the road. Over time they do become quite brittle, I was on my way back from Scotland and I heard a knock from the underside of the car, as if something had been flick up from the road. Two weeks late I had a little oil patch underneath the rear of the car, at first glance I though it was the output seals but this pipe had actually fractured. I'm currently in the process of fitting an aftermarket cooler which will be a little less exposed.

The window blocks have a little metal clip that clicks when rotated, these cost about £3 if remember correctly some parts are so cheap I will drive it for six months then sell it and do another one[]

thought I would post this silly little repair just because the stuff I used is fantastic[] my door bin fixing tabs were all broken[]
normally these cheap DIY kits are useless but I thought I would give this a try
Made a mould really easy to do all in the kit
Added the powder then the solvent[]
and A near perfect result, really hard and bonds to any material
Thought this may be of use to someone[] would be perfect for broken air box tabs []

Ken, excellent repair of the door bins fixing. I did mine the other month and I araldited a small washer to the remaining plastic face to give surface to screw through. It worked well but not as neat as yours. I am going to redo mine ....... I must stop reading your thread to many ideas. ian
