Yet another problem, sorry guys... After the car had been in for a load of work it came back with two problems main problem, both of which i assumed were gearbox related...
The speedo kept cutting out and in (in had never done this before going in)
The reverse lights werent workingI took the...
Petrol station opposite my local halfrauds, the driver even saw me taking a pic and gave me a nod as if to say "yeaaahhh i know its cool" apart from being a taste abortion the work done didnt actually look THAT bad
Sorry to thread jack, but if you have to change them...
Any chance you could post me one of the old ones very cheap?? I got a new ph2 bumper for my ph1 off Matta_88 off here and got two archlines, the arch liners looked fine but it turns out one was ph1 and the other ph2 so i am at a crisis!!
:D
Looks great, really like it! Your local too! Suprised i havent seen you around, noticed the pic in bluey car park (i work there) and i go uni in chislehurst (just next door basically) Will keep an eye out for you!
Ph2 rear bumper on the way from matt ;) paiting will commence as soon as i got the bumper, painting side bump strips, wing mirriors, spoiler and rear bumper. leaving black insert in front and back and gonna keep in nice and clean so it breaks up the colour a bit. :D
edit: damn good spot with...
Its only a sport spoiler :( (not a big fat ironing board type thing) and fubar, i was sure someone would analyse the background before the obvious, but i just couldnt be bothered to move it to somewhere plain!!!
Was my wheel bearing when this happened to me, easy way to check its nothing engine related is drive along, shift into neutral and if its quiet just turn the engine off. If its still there and gets quieter as you slow down should be that.
Its not much, but has got me happy, big thanks to matt (Matta_88) for a perfect item and good communication. :D
There will be some more bits to come over the next week or so... :-D finally start to get it looking how i want, struck a good deal with a friend on doing some painting, so this and...
I know 6x9's arent favoured by everyone, but if you do a really tidy job with all the wires etc and get someone decent to sort the stealth shelf you wont regret it, mate of mine has infinitys in there, and got in carpeted and re-inforced for like 40£ cant see them, and sound 10x better than...
I went down the halfrauds airfilter route before i could afford a back box, and was plesantly suprised at when i got from it, much throatier sound, was louder than any other filter on any of my mates cars, not sure why but i wasnt complaining!!
If you got the funds have a decent backbox made up...
You might get away with removing the stereo, just see what you can see, have a bit of a poke around, and make sure everything is tight, if no joy then just wack the dash off, as i found out not as hard as you may think... although i need to do it again in a few weeks, hmmm.. anyways, should be...
I had this also on my mk2 ph1, but it just meant that my seat wouldnt go all the way back (at the time i didnt know what it was) and to say the least it was fustrating to not be able to move the seat back being 6"2, thankfully my dad has more common sense and is a whizz with a screwdriver so...
Just a random guy locally smashed up his back end mate, so i was a cheeky git and asked if he wanted to sell em, sorry, i've been looking absoloutely everywhere for them too! Price is a bit steep but they'll complete the look i hope :S Sorry i couldnt be more of a help, if i see a set anywhere...
Just a quick question... How much was your thermostat?? Had mine replaced today (its only a 1.2 but i'm guessing similar) and some other bits and bill was a bit of a shi**er
Sounds like your connector for the stalk/lcd display?? Seems like too much of a coincidence that these things have gone at the same time?
Sometimes with lots of driving these things work their way loose, might be worth giving it a check?? One of my adaptors shook loose after a lot of "spirited"...
Looks great with the wheels!! Keep rocking the bra, makes it stand out from the crowd!!
Was gonna say about leaving the paint for a longer than you have but wasnt sure....
