My NS step was stuck out for some time. The usual seized hinges. That prompted me to buy a load of them and the motors, and put them in stock (apparently, you often need to change the motor with the hinge as it can get damaged when you are removing the hinge).

So I put the car in the indy, they replaced both hinges and the motor. I collected it, they said it was now fine. I trundled out to test it, unlocked the car, it popped out all the way and immediately went back in again.

It did come out and stay out more successfully when the back door was opened, but not the passenger door.

I went back in and questioned this, and they said they had had much difficulty calibrating them, and they thought they'd managed it as it worked fine when they tested it. But it ain't working properly now.

I asked what might be done, and they all stood about saying "erm" and speculating about the software on whatever they use to do this. So that was that, really.

Is it true they need calibrating after a hinge/motor swap? Is it something that needs to be done with the computer or does a hard reset do it? They suggested a trip to the main dealer to have it done. Which kind of defeats the object of using an indy, doesn't it?

Does anyone have any experience of this? 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black
