I have both a 122 and an 1800 and will fit one to each of my cars if they work as well as expected. It is the same size as the original heater box.

Thanks Mr ALEEKAT for the sbsv direction.David http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1360880&rss=1 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 04:37 GMT Thanks Klaus and Ron, the battery is only 2 months old and i will go over everything thoroughly and let you know if i find anything. Cheers David http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1360836&rss=1 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 23:28 GMT Hi all,my 86'740 is a recent purchase. All windows work from drivers door switches---passengers window winds up but not down from passengers door switch----neither back door switches do anything.Look forward to your input. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1360715&rss=1 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:56 GMT Hi all,some time ago my 850 turned over but would not fire and had to use my sons 740.Returned some time later and it was back to normal. No problems till now when my wife went start the car and the following took place: SRS light came on for a moment then went out,she thinks it was accompanied by a burning(oil)smell and my 15 yr old son said it made a growling sound. This was once and all has been well since. I have stuck my head into the engine bay and everything is in place. Any thoughts would be appreciated. David http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1360706&rss=1 Sun, 19 Jul 2009 03:41 GMT Thankyou Aleekat, i would have never found that lever without your help and i am now sitting in the car rather than on top of it. another question if i may, the car feels like its wallowing along. i think the front shocks are history and would replacing them with gas ones be the fix or is there an upgrade of sorts or do you think there is another common issue i need to know about. Thanks again http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1357749&rss=1 Thu, 2 Jul 2009 05:01 GMT i cant find the lever, and the seats are too high and i want lower them. maybe said lever is missing. what does it attach to and can i use an alternative? cheers http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1357550&rss=1 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 08:36 GMT excuse my stupidity , can anyone advise me how to lower the front seat on this 740 i have just purchased. saw somewhere a lever, but alas my car does not possess such a lever. many thanks in advance. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1357534&rss=1 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 05:42 GMT Hi all , am looking for stainless steel pistons for my rear ate calipers which i saw on the web once and am having trouble finding.
