    I bought a 2001 225 roadster last week which is tidy but needs a few jobs doing. Whenever I have a problem I go on UA-cam and there is a video from the Parrott Bro's to help me. Thanks for making my life much easier! Right, where do I find some secondhand sill covers...

    That is a great job done Dom. Very well explained and detailed. I can see some bubbling on the ends of the 3.2 sills so I am thinking its a job for this summer. I dont want them going too bad! I had not even thought about all that underseal on them. Maybe they can go off to an body shop to be stripped as well as painting! Saves me a job!

    Thanks so much for the video! Very helpful!! I didn’t know what a sill was until my 2003 tt failed its NCT (Irish MOT) for rusty sills. If I buy replacement sills second hand, do you think this will fix my problem or should I be worried about underlying rust in the car frame? When the tester punched the side panel, it went right through. Apparently this was bad…

    • @TheParrottBros
      @TheParrottBros  3 місяці тому

      The sills on a mk1 TT are not structural they are just metal covers, Im sure the actual structual sill underneath will be fine. Yes good condition second hand ones will be perfectly fine mate

      You can do, if its salty on the roads i would probably avoid doing so as its gonna let that get into places you wont want it, not sure how legal it is without them, shouldnt be an issue.

      @@JoshuaKabatay now I understand what you mean, yes it’s quite common. You have a split vacuum pipe somewhere between the inlet manifold and the brake booster. It’s a hard plastic pipe and over time gets brittle and splits. Usually fails near or behind the heat shielding Behind the charge pipe

    @StueyMonster Рік тому

    Only just notices your workshop is round :) Also, the longest thing with this can be getting the wheel arch liners off as the screws just continually turn in the plastic fixings but won't come out, very frustrating. I purchased a pack of 10 replacement screws/fixings for £4 and poked a bit of waxoyl over the heads when i put everything back together so they don't rust too quickly. Great that you can replace sills on the TT with no welding... I wish they did this on mk5 Golfs!!!

    Thanks for this Dom, I've had one side done and the other needs doing! Might well have a bash at this myself when we have some sustained dry weather! My drivers side had a whole rainforest growing in the sill cover, I probably broke enviromental laws cutting down the trees and rare flowers growing in the meadow😂...that moss on yours, I'd recommend sending some spores of that to the doomsday seed vault.🤣

    • @TheParrottBros

    Hi Dom, this is a really helpful video - thank you. I shall be replacing my side sill this weekend but I just wondered what to use to stick it back to the underbody i.e the part you cut along with your knife at the end?
    Also, my ends are not that bad so would a simple clean and hammerite in black be sufficient?

    • @TheParrottBros
      @TheParrottBros  Рік тому +1

      It’s probably cheaper to have it replaced and painted than it would be to have it repaired as no doubt it has some light rust that would need prepping too. Plus the time it takes to make repairs will likely cost more than buying a new one
