General Love 500

I've just repaired my hatch wiring (again) after discovering washer fluid in the spare wheel well caused by a split in the hose just where it exits the body.

Anyway, it was with the help of one of Love 500's YouTube videos which showed how to get to the wiring inside the car which helped as I was able to get a little bit of slack from the car end of the wiring too.

So, a shout out to typecastboy who I believe does those excellent videos.

One day I would be happy to attempt the full repair by replacing the hatchback loom. Just need some decent weather...

Glad it helped, always a good idea when using the repair kits to get some slack from inside the car. Easy enough to get to.

And another shout out for the YouTube videos you do.

Just changed the fuel cap retaining strap thanks to your 'how to' guide.

Got the strap with new pins from a well known auction site for about £4...

You can ease the ring off the cap which I did and this made getting the pins out a lot easier. Also, if you get the kit with the ring as you did, the whole thing is potentially a straight swap...

Only a small job, but satisfying and I'm no longer bugged by the broken strap, as I have been since we got the car...

Remember to use the hook on the filler cap and the strap wont get stressed?

Have got well used to using the hook, especially as the cap has been detached for so long until now
