Nobody's suggested crossing you legs. As well as stopping the windy whistle, you'll look suitably affected.
According to Aer Lingus many years back the way to stop a leaky door seal at the back on a BAC 111 is to jam wet J cloths in the gap to stop the banshee wail over the Irish Sea. They had a maintenance strike . Might I suggest the real problem is the door seal is not quite lining up somewhere and you could try adjusting the door hinges or catch or trying draught excluder tape or a new seal. On mine the roof rack howls and the seals are quiet even at a genuine 70 mph today down the A34 and 115 degrees C oil even with an extra cooler.
will check seals, mine are not perfect fit and come adrift a bit, so will try and refix them. s best adhesive for them, and top triangle seals are missing but struggling to find original oval grommets too.
I can see the road flying past through the front edge of my drivers door. Gotta get a new door seal. Either that or I have the wrong style van for my door.
I call it air conditioning. Btw might anyone know why I get lots of hot air blowing out of the dash vents up to the windscreen, but nothing out of the ones by your feet? The lever goes up and down and feels like it's connecting to something, but nothing happens. Do I have to strip out the dash etc (nooo!) to get to wherever those lever connections end up?
It's your totem pole, missus. Under the dash in the middle there's a vertical tube with vents. On the LHS, up by the handbrake bracket, there should be a little lever (possibly with spring attached) that deflects air up to the screen or down to the vents. Should be a cable attached, controlled by the lever on the dash. Your cable may have snapped. It's fixable without taking the whole dash out.
Thanks so much! Was too busy trying to perfect Pimm's today (is it me or is Pimm's massively overrated?) but will squirrel on down under the dash and take a look. Gaaaad I hope this weather hangs around a bit longer.
I can?! Where is it this flappy thing whereof you speak? Surely the cable goes into or behind the totem pole? I had a quick look... Dammit I'm going to have to get a manual. I've just got How to Keep Your Bus Alive and its rubbish on the heating system.
The flappy thing's inside the totem pole, but it's operated by a lever on the outside. Look up under the dash in the middle, behind the handbrake stuff. If you can flip it, you'll have warm feet instead of a hot face. John Muir's book is only really suitable for colouring in...
Kev, if you haven't got the right number of holes it can cause a whistling at speed. I've got some holes here that I saved from an old door I had, you're welcome to have a couple of those if it'll help.
Yup, no problem. Give us a call first though because we've put the holes into a chunk of emmentaler for safe keeping.
