Yes, I agree. I am seeing absurd prices of several thousand euros/pounds/dollars being bandied about for these boxes, used. I haven't opened the...
Thanks for the replies. That 360/430 thread has confused me. It begins by contrasting GL-4 with GL-4 and synchros with gears, but the factory oil...
Does anyone know of a compatible unit? I haven't seen anything of the sort. I'm sure one could be engineered.
Yes, it's strange. I should say that the gearbox will not be really warm, as I'm only making 30km trips and it's winter here, but the shifting is...
I've noticed that my new 456 is difficult to get into gear, especially 1st and reverse, when it's warm after a journey. I'm noticing this when I...
Thanks for the information, both of you. In my car, when one of these units failed, whoever 'fixed' the problem removed the unit and butchered the...
I asked this company, Colorbond, www.Colorbondpaint.com whether they could recommend a match, and I got a reply from them to try Pro Tech...
The right door box had been removed before I bought the car, otherwise yes, certainly I would have opened it to see whether I could fix it. I will...
thanks for the info. I am guessing that the door boxes are needed for the central locking as well as for the windows on the 456GT. I'm tempted to...
Thanks - I'll check this tomorrow.
Yes, it plugs into the other side - thanks! It does look like the wiring has been messed about on this left door, because the connectors look as...
I meant that so far I haven't managed to get the heating controls to respond at all. But I'm not familiar with how they should work. If the AC...
Many thanks for that, Ian. As you say, I'll have to see how much is useful on an earlier 456. The little problems with my car all seem to be...
I have the two workshop manuals, but not that expanded section L, which sounds like it could be really useful - could you point me to somewhere I...
What part number is the pin that you used, do you know? I see that 62791700 is replaced by 65274600 and 10903280, but then, it seems 65274600 has...
The pin on my driver's door is just a poorly fitting nut and bolt - clearly someone made a poor fix at some point. Well, if it just needs a new...
Thanks for the input. I saw that pin moving against the bracket on the car body, yes, but I assumed that something in the other part of the...
Hello all, I don't see any information on this, so I thought I'd ask: I'm starting to go through the bits and pieces on my 'new' 456. One thing...
Sorry, I should have been more careful in my reply. I have a workshop manual for the 456, and for the 456M, and, yes, I see that it's only in the...
Owners manual: I have the leather pouch with the owners manual, service book, list of dealers, hifi manual etc. My owners manual is 792/93. I...
