Right, i have two quick questions that i need answering. First one: Will this speaker cable be adequate for door speakers? Is it the right Gauge etc... http://www.theloudest.co.uk/?sectionid=2&page=view_product&product_id=101 Second One: What are the following wires for in the picture? I...

I have decided that i am going to re-wire the speaker wire in my clio. I have two problems so far: How do i get the wiring out of the back of the 8 block connector? Also, where do i get the connectors that come out of the 8 block connector? (these are also what connects the woofer wire to...

Saw the Trophy again today, was following behind me on the motorway for a bit until we came to the Hedge End junction at which i came off and he hurtled past me. Then whilst going into McDonalds car park a Black 182 was in front of me but turned up to KFC direction. Both at about 12.00pm.

I dont know what is going on. I believe it is the passenger door, i slam it s**t and the light will go off, but the slightest movement and the interior light goes on. Its almost like it thinks the door is open all the time.... obviously. what can i do to stop it? thanks Nick

As title really. Would like to know as it is so much cheaper over there for stuff. Cheers Nick

After making quite a mess of my car wiring i am now seriously considering re-wiring the whole car! What i would like to know is about how much cable will i need to re-wire from the headunit to the front doors and into the cards, from the headunit to the tweeters and from the headunit to the rear...

Bloody chavs piss me off so much. On my way back home tonight after a mates party, got in my car to take friends home and head off back myself. All of sudden all these chave came out of nowhere and started throwing what i think was logs at my car!! Im so annoyed, i checked my car over and i...

As title, how long should i leave my sprayed interior bits before i laquer them? Then how long should i leave the laquer before i put them back in the car? Cheers Nick

Right, i have decided to spray some bits of my interior tomorrow (Handbrake Button, Gear Knob Insert, Door Handles etc). I know how to do it and all that i just want to know where the best place to get the stuff for it would be. The Sand Paper, Plastic Primer, Silver Paint, Clear Laquer. I...

Ok, i just recieved my brand new Nokia N95 today only to find that the screen wobbles from side to side when you press any of the buttons that are on the screen part! Very annoying, think i am gonna return it and get another one! Anyone else had problems like this? (On the right hand corner...

Saw it parked up by park gate school about 10 mins ago and wondered if it was anyone on here. From what i can re call it had a sticker on the back (looked like the nurburgring one) on an 04 plate. Cant remember the plate exactly, i think it was ht04 ...

It may sound kinda pedantic but what is the best silver paint to use for spraying interior bits (Gearknob, Handbrake Button etc) I mean is it a sort of chrome or matte silver...... Just wanna make sure i get the right colour when i spray these items.

Is there any way i can 'turn' down the tweeters, so to speak. The speakers themselves are perfect, its just when i have them at a relatively high volume the tweeters start to emit a high pitched crackling sorta sound? Surely they shouldnt be doing that. Thanks Nick

Right, after recieving my new alpine type r component speakers today for my front door i attempted to fit them. I have fitted the door speakers and connected them. I have mounted the tweeters and attached them to the crossover. The only thing left is connecting the crossover box to the door...

As title any pictures please. Not too fussed on colour really just want to see what looks best on black. Thanks Nick

I currently have the standard renault speakers in my car connected up to an Alpine 9855r. I am intending on changing the door speakers in the next week or so and wondered whether to get one set of components up front and one set of co-axials for the rear. Or get two sets of co-axials and leave...

I have just ordered myself a set of alpine type r components off car audio direct to run off of my head unit (Head unit rated at 50wx4) and would like to know whether the wiring in the car from the standard speakers will be sufficient to run the new speakers? Also what is the best way to...

Went past us in an old fiesta and for some reason gave us all the finger before undertaking us. (Wasnt me driving)

After taking out my dash and trying to fit a autoleads steering wheel adaptor i am now trying to put my dash back on, however it will no longer sit flush with the instrument panel. Its slightly raised up and out. What am i doing wrong? All the screws etc are out... Thanks Nick

Which one do you think i should go for. For the autoleads ones you have to take off your whole dash and there is nothing shown on the display. Or the InCarTec one which does not require the dash to be taken out (Or so ive heard anyway. Anyone confirm this?) and it displays Alpine on the...

Im having quite a nightmare here! I have so far spent hours fitting my new alpine head unit along with the steering wheel controls and radio interface.... But my steering wheel controls still dont work and i have nothing on my display. Not even "Alpine". Perhaps i have wired it up wrongly...

Im trying to fit the steering wheel controls for my head unit and need to take the dash off. Ive unscrewed everything but it seems to be caught on the passenger side. just behind the airbag and i cant get to it. Any help please Thanks

I have just purchased myself an alpine 9855r and was wondering which bits i need to be able to use my steering wheel controls and which allow you to still see what radio station etc you are on with the original display. Thanks Nick

I have just purchased myself a "Renault" badge for my clio to stick on the back of my car. I wondered if anyone could post the back of their car showing where to place the badge? Thanks Oh yeah, the badge has 3 little lugs on the back as well as adhesive strip, is it alright to just break the...

After reading that we get a discount on JustMatz i am very intereted in getting some. How much of a discount do we get? is it on the classic, deluxe or executive we get a discount on? I just want a set for my car that are black and say ClioSport in colour on the front two. Also, is it worth...

Ok been on here a while now, so i thought i would post up a few pics of my car. Its just a lil' 1.2 dynamique, but it is my first car!

Right, ive managed to get the wing mirror shell off and get the sensor hanging there losely. How do i disconnect the little device? Also, what should i be looking for or doing to try and correct the temperature reading (It is currently saying 40*C + constantly). Thanks Nick

How do i open up the remote on my car keys? I think the battery is dead or i have a loose connection Thanks Nick

Ok i got a couple of little niggles with my car that are starting to annoy me now! Firstly, when you put the seats forward to let people in the back and then put them back down the seat has to slide all the way back before it clicks into place! which crushes the peoples feet in the back...

Right, if i was to purchase this Alpine 9855r head unit is there anything else i will need to buy to get it to work? Like an adaptor plate to put it in the dash or any convertors? I know you need to buy the steering wheel adaptor and alpine stalk adaptor. Thanks Nick
