Twistyocty

I just had the car back with the dealer who replaced the switch as an act of "good will" but sadly it hasnt fixed it. Funds are tight for me atm so I cant afford to pay for them to look into it further, where can I try next myself to try and figure out what is the likely problem?

Thanks for the replies, At least I know it should slide. It is a ff elegance sunroof. Oh well as ive just bought it Ill have a chat with the seller and see if its under warranty

So my understanding is the sunroof is a tilt AND slide? Mine only tilts and other than a couple of points on the rotation of the control it opens and closes straight away. I think there are 2 points in the rotation where it stays tilted. Am I missing something obvious or is it faulty? TIA

Thanks for the replies. I swapped the HU/ Switched the RED and YELLOW wires, memory working well. Im still waiting for the ebay antenna adapter to come :/ I ran the blue remote switching wire and RCA's from HU to Boot behind the glovebox which I had removed and under trim to the rear. Fitted the sub earth wire... however the power from the battery proved impossible to get through!! I tried the areas mentioned in other posts but found no way through. I then decided that behind the pollen filter under the scuttle panel would be best. I initially tried to remove the wiper arms but couldnt before reading they didnt need to come off. I tried for ages but I could not get the panel to budge and still havent :( So for now no power lead for the sub. Speaker covers came off easily but im yet to go buy the replacements so will update further soon. On the plus side I got the rear tinted 5% with a windscreen sun strip at 5% also. Looks so much better, new arm rest clip came and was fitted easily. A decent run to skeggy from Northampton yesterday with no troubles from the octy

My first proper post.... Im about to swap out the orig HU for my chavtastic SONY Xplod HU I have the ISO adapter. I understand from my forum searching that I need to swap the yellow and red wires to allow memory but also read about a blue wire that needs terminating? Am I correct as I m a tad confused on this point. If so, which wire? lol I have ordered an adapter for the amplified antenna, I presume I can connect the pwr wire on it to the yellow wire on the iso adapter (as it has an extra bullet point)? Further to this point I have a twin FLI sub for the boot, I was going to connect the remote pwr wire for this to the yellow on the ISO as well and run the 12v feed direct from the battery, I read there is a route through behind the pollen filter which I presume is behind the airbox, is this easy enough? To add to the chavtasticness I will probably whip out the front 6.5's and fit a pair of co-axial EDGE speakers. I beleive I can do so with just removing the speaker grills not the whole door card? I think I also read about removing the glove box to aid access during the general fitting process, is this a good idea? Im not looking for MAD performance ICE just to improve for now, I have the HU and sub here and my local store has the EDGE spkrs cheap so for my very tight budget it shoulkd help. TIA for any help and/or clarification

Thanks guys, its in greast shape. 97k FSH and only a few minor spots of bublling in the paintwork. I really like the colour and wont be changing too much of the standard look, just a few subtle improvements. Even the alloys are like new, deffo need some new centre caps though

Thanks, honest its a better colour in person!
