    Bit of a sad story: As an 18 year old way back when I dreamed of a cb600f Hornet, specifically the f6 version as ridden in this video, longingly yearing before my biking journey begun in 2009. I spent a couple (UK) CBT certificates before managing to save up for the bike I'd always wanted. Sure as shit, for sale in Bradford, with just over 600 legitimate Scottish Doctor miles on the clock, a 2007 (f6, late register) Hornet pops up. We'll be having that, I thought and so it was, delivered a week later. Lessons came immediately after, along with a few jaunts out on the Hornet, on closed/private roads... for 700 miles... Honest officer, I was practicing my manouvers! Test day came, as did snow, it was called off. Retest time, unforseen circumstances (whatever that is). Cancelled. Again. Finally got my licence, with one minor, a fucking single scabby week after the new UK A2 licence restrictions came into place. Bought all relevant restrictors yet no insurer would touch me, so I had to sell my dream bike... Wound up with an Aprilia 660 Strada, then a bargain of an er6n from the school i did my test. Great times but the shit aint the same. Still... We had 700 great miles together. I miss that bike like a first love.

      Hi Celica still going well thanks. I'm pretty sure it could be the internal screw thread inside the sunroof mechanism sticking, usually through corrosion. In my experience difficult to repair.

On this side I noticed that there is more slack. and on both sides there is a little wheel that looks like aluminum and is worn out. Once upon a time it must have been driven without any lubrication.

      @JeanMelim 4 месяца назад

      Hey, how's it going? You needed help, if and when it is possible for you. so I can orient myself here on the sunroof. First question: when the roof is open in a tilting position, is the part that makes it go up on the rail at the end of the rail or is it about 6 mm before the end? second question: When the roof is completely open, how high is rail to the roof? third question: When it's open, if you press the sunroof down, does the sunroof down a little or not move? Sorry for so many questions, but as I dismantled the lining and already tried different configurations, I'm running out of ideas to solve it. Best regards

      @@JeanMelim apologies if I don't quite answer your questions correctly. When I first press the open button, the sunroof tilts open about 4cm. I'm not 100% sure about the point on the track your referring to but the initial movement is just the tilt. On the second press it opens up and a third press will make it open up slightly more. Then it's one press to close it fully.

    • @JeanMelim
      @JeanMelim 4 месяца назад

      @@michelod.i.y.5202 thanks. When the sunroof is raised to the tilted position, you can see part of the guide. (looking sideways at the raised sunroof) this guide is where there is a joint that lifts the glass and this same guide ends in a rounded shape. In my case the joint is 6mm around the rounded part in the tilt position. On the right side, if I press the sunroof, that joint doesn't move. On the left side it gives way and there is more than 1 cm of space left until the rounded part. When it's all open at the back, either in the first one where it stops or in the second one when we insist a little more. the same thing happens. When you push the left side, it falls and the guide touches the roof of the car. I've already tried to make several adjustments, renewing and installing the motor, advancing and delaying the cables, but I think one of the two reasons is: Either the cable has a worn “tooth” and “jumps” or the joint is broken. thank you very much

      Firstly make the fuel filter is full to the top you may have to remove it for this. After a few turns of the engine it should hopefully fire up. Failing this crack open one of the injectors and crank the engine over until clear diesel runs through, do thus with all the injectors. I hope you get it started. And thanks for watching
