Yeah I had seen that people generally have used a spare pick up from the tank (that some vans have) or the return line, but until I look no idea if the mk3 has spare pick ups, or where the return line in is (some of todays jobs).

there seems to be very little info on line.

I did consider the separate tank bit, but my concern here is if I spill some (likely enough over time) then it will stink of diesel for days or even weeks, which is why I wanted to avoid this if I could and plumb directly in.

I have a 1.6.

I have already converted the bench seat to a second captain seat, so was considering:
-Centrally between the seats (adjusting the centre console that I made to suit) - no idea what is under this area yet.
- under the drivers seat (relocating the tool kit) - no idea what is under this area yet
- behind the drivers seat - no idea what is under here yet
- to the rear behind a wheel arch, but not sure I have space due to the layout of the van (batteries and charger all around passenger rear wheel arch)

I know it wont go under passenger seat as had a quick look there and the adblue tank appears to be there.

if it stays dry, the van will be up on the ramps later to have a good look and see what may be possible.

@issac_blank if you have any info on where the diesel line was connected that would be great.

Yep mine is the same, hidden behind a crows nest of cables and multiplugs and doesn't look entirely like the owners manual either.

Woohoo, a whole set of sections for me, thanks guys, I'm totally chuffed :-)

Thanks @AlvyLad.

Have looked at that thread but they seem to be the same drain holes that I have checked and cleared or am I missing something?  On the mk 3 they pass down from under the scuttle panel that the wipers etc are mounted in and are visible again in the back of the space where the suspension tops are and pass straight down through and discharge behind the arch liner, which is what alerted me to them in the first place.

As I said I have checked these, one totally clear, the other may have been slightly blocked, but should be clear now, used a brush bought for this very purpose of clearing drains on the mk2 mx5.

Hard to tell if it is any better to be honest, just not sure what else to check short of stripping lots of interior out.

OK, have finally gotten around to having a really good look at this today, and now know exactly what the problem is but not 100% sure of the solution.

having spent a few hours adjusting the door today and taking various bits to pieces.....

The problem is that the catch on the door that rotates around the "U" shape on the body to hold the door closed is not aligning correctly.  It should rotate and engage around the side of the U, it would be one of the goal posts if you considered it like a football goal (does that make sense).  But what actually happens is that it is like the door is too far forward and the rotating catch hits the end (cross bar part) of the "U" instead of rotating inside it.

Completely stripped out the lock and it seems OK, small amount of play on the rotating catch part (probably from all the impacts)

Completely stripped out the rear mid hinge (above the lock, all good and no play)....however you can sort of bounce the door in/out and ins doing so it floats backwards slightly, and when you intentionally do this (push it so it goes in and slightly back) , the door closes perfectly as it effectively moves the lock backwards so the catch rotates through the U instead of hitting the "cross bar" part of it.

The movement is sort of in the hinge part, like it is roating slightly, but actually I think it might be movement of the roller carriage in the rail, but it is really hard to tell...

So could be play in the rollers, or the rails, but popped the cover off at the end and rail feels OK.

When disconnected from the door there also doesn't really feel like play in the rollers in the rail.

So short of systematically replacing all the bits piece by piece to see what the worn part is.....

Thinking it would be either rail, or roller, or hinge, there are only 3 pieces, not sure what the prices of each bit are....

Door is 100% perfectly aligned now though :-)

Any thoughts, anyone else had this?
Anyone any ideas?
