Wow guys, thanks for all the info. Extra thanks to Steve <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I believe the "regulator" you speak of is the correct part. Seems like the hand crank is connected to the cog in the picture, and all parts are housed inside a steel metal case.

Here's the plan :

Hope we get some parts vehicles as promised into BC. If nothing comes by Nov...

(b) Steve you may have a cheque sent to you for 94 pounds ! Can't have a leaky sunroof as you Brits know.

( OT...workin on my europe airline licenses for BA or Virgin hopefully )

Interesting info on the VINs
The importing company had the new VIN installed when i purchased the vehicle. Either they didn't know about the chassis VIN , or couldn't read the Japanese !...or again possibly not allowed to use it in BC.

I still can't get used to the left hand rear-view....backed into someone yesterday <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> only a scratch though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />
