Got a complete working sunroof mechanism out of my track day Carlton, was going to chuck it! They're dead easy to remove complete, just loads of 8mm bolts & the whole lot, glass 'n' all comes out! |

Those wheels look like black painted CDx to me Craig.
If they are then they're the wrong wheels - like i said, 3.0 estates should have the Senator type cross spokes! (shamelessly using information i've absaorbed from another forum!!!  ) Not neccesarily Craig. I have discovered that the standard Carlton X spokes do fit over the 24v brakes. I have them (the brakes) on the 2.6 estate and they had the X spokes as standard. Bit of a wierd one like. Could be that the estates had slightly different designation wheels to the saloons.

JM2pW Jon Well i tried my CDX wheels from the Hybrid on the 24v brakes i fitted to it & they wouldn't fit! But these wheels were from a sloon. I could try one of my Estate wheels on just to be sure. I was always told that Carlton CDX, Carlton Diplomat & Pre-facelift Carlton GSi 12v wheels don't fit over 24v calipers. Also, the earlier type 15" steel wheels (slots rather than holes) don't fit. |

Cheers for the the replies chaps, the wheels are the X spoke ones without centre caps, they look nice in black though i think  what do the proper ones look like I'll get some pics up in a couple of days, she's being pressed into service straight away carrying all my old tat around, great on the motorway  By the way is the sunroof supposed to be a tilt and slide one? mine tilts but dosent slide, the back drops down when you press the button though i pretty sure IM told me this put window down hold down "slide" on the suncroof switch wna with the palm of ya hand hit it, work for the gsi! |

And mine, but I would like it to work as it should. Some adjustment is needed to stop it sticking in the closed position. I just need to find the time to do it. Jon |
