#1: New Car, Purchased today, minor problems, please help :) Author: maximus.darby, Location: WorcesterPosted: Thu Nov 25, 2010 6:12 pm ---- Hi All
i purchased a 206 quiksilver, 1.4, 51 reg today, and i'm loving it, however there are a few niggly bits that are bugging me, and i'd like some advice on how to correct them.
First of all, the clock doesnt display, i believe it needs new bulbs, which bulbs do i get? and is it an easy job to fix myself?
2nd problem - the bolt has come off the mechanism you use to fold the seat in order to let passengers in on the drivers seat, so the handle just falls off.....are these generic bolts, where could I acquire one?
lastly, and this is the biggie, i've noticed a small dent in the driver side door that has slightly made the join on the door raise a little, (enough to make it look like the door hasnt been shut properly) is there a way I can bend this back, or will i need to look at buying a new door entirely??
sorry for the vague descriptions, it's late, i've been bombing it around all day haha..
many thanks for any advice in advance

A pic will help for the last question.

If you take a pic today of where the bolt your needing is, im sure i have some which i can send over

Just pop to your local breakers and learn how to take apart then repeat on your own car.
As for the door cant help until a pic is up.
Welcome to the site..
#9: Re: New Car, Purchased today, minor problems, please help :) Author: Logan, Location: NorthantsPosted: Fri Nov 26, 2010 3:35 am ---- The bulbs are available in Halfords to! Be sure to change ALL the bulbs in the unit (blown or not) otherwise when you get it back together you'll find the ones you didn't change have blown....
Bin there done that!!

They suffer from fatigue on the circuit board and the solder comes away. If the bulbs don't sort it crack it open and you will see the damage. easy to fix with a soldering iron and small length of wire.
