  1. all of a sudden the rear speakers have stopped working both at the same time .... any common faults to check for ? would it be head unit /amp related or broken wires in the body grommets
  2. left the car parked up for a few days as i was using the classic , went to start the skoda the ignition key wouldnt turn , steering lock wouldnt engage . managed to get it to turn have sprayed some lube in it ... ( i know i should use graphite powder) . its worked but when you turn the key to 1st accessory position its stiff but then when you go to start engine its ok ... its has stuck while trying to work the lube into the lock a few times today . this sounds like the barrel is on the way out to me ?. is it possible to get another ignition lock matched to the doors and is removing the ignition lock gonna be a PITA
  3. good build but not very good off road discipline from any of the drivers ... not leaving enough space between cars , and when clearing an obstacle then stopping right at the top of a hill so the following car has no where to go if they get into trouble ... no 2 way radios for communication ..... and this is how accidents happen
  4. ive gone with the nextbase 522 as its removable , some very light fingered people around brum
  5. 07 scout developed very bad oil leak ... the suspect was the rocker cover gasket. Has been replaced twice by my mechanic who I trust . He took the car home last night I picked it up this morning as he drove it to work. Only a 5 min journey for him . I drove to work 29 miles parked up left it.drove home tnight pulled on the drive could smell oil had a look under neath and its drenched .. . What else are known culprits ??
  6. Looks like a flash bit of kit . Think my hard wire kit was only 11 quid so it's pretty straight forward
  7. you think it might be worth going the HID route then ??..
  8. would i be better off with LED bulbs ?
  9. well a bit of a country lane drive and yes there is an improvement no one flashing me etc so all good . would like to go the HID route but not a big fan of blinding on coming cars . Next up will be the light bar behind the grille
  10. Just fitted it how I wanted it... I hate wires all over the place
  11. Yep got the projectors in it have just fitted some 150+ in so just waiting for it to go dark for a road test
  12. Well wants and bought some new H1S xenons lights to go in pulled the old lights out to be greated with normal headlights.
  13. took my old Nextbase 522GW out the audi A2 i just sold and fitted into the 07 in about 40 mins tops . all hard wired in no probs why not ... its 2 wires . keep wiring simple
