Yep, I’ve got one Premier express so that should turn up in a week /a month / three months …. whenever, 😆 i’ve just bought a cheap pack of the rods to pull the cables through or at least pull a cord from the front of the car to the back through the headlining and then I can pull the two cable straight through to the dash cam and then run it down alongside the rest of the cables from the roof headlining/ interior lights down to the glove box

I wasn’t sure about the aerial, so it might have been something stupid like when I called the glovebox unit out to check the model might loosen something, but reading some of the posts seems as problems we walk getting in and the amplifiers in the roof but I’ll have a look at that later … about 2 o’clock in the morning when I get home…. I think this is where I miss some of the steps, cause I’m too bloody knackered for it to all sink in 😜🤪.

If you want more bass you could always do something like this…

Yes that. And also the extension on our house is nearly complete so time and funds will be diverted to that!

@Binx1310 ” the extension to my house is nearly complete” 🤔🤔 I can’t remember reading anything about a triple underfloor heated garage ?? 🤔😜

As usual, I didn't do anything to my car but it has done something which means I will need to do something!

Anyway, ESC fault, adaptive cruise, SS, park pilot, etc unavailable warnings came up earlier. Last time it did so (I think more faults than just speed related like this time) was battery.

This time I reckon it is ABS sensor. Will find out with a scan soon!

Sounds about right. Similar situation for me a few weeks ago. Christmas tree of dashboard warning lights turned out to be be 2 x ABS sensors front & back. Expensive bill at independent VAG garage.

I am half contemplating DIY. Or getting my local garage to just do the sensors if I manage to scan it and have confidence it's the sensor problem. Will see. I thought I am in no hurry but then the rear park sensors don't work and I need it....

A couple of jobs done today.

Replaced the drivers door inner seal as the original one had worn from driver getting in and out. The second hand one I got from eBay had a little wear but hadn’t split so I just rotated it about 45 degrees so the wear was on the back edge where it won’t wear any more. Pretty simple fit, you just have to take a couple of trim pieces off.

As I had already had some of the trim off and it was finally a sunny afternoon I thought I would tackle installing the black roof rails. Thanks to @Kosin for the install tips. Pretty much remove anything attached to headliner around the edges, all pillar trims and top boot trims. To remove the sun visors and handles you need the OEM/Laser long nose flat pliers at £60 to £30. Luckily Ali express to the rescue again with a cheap tool that does the job perfectly for £3

To access the rear of the front pair of bolts you have to disconnect the plug from the curtain airbag igniter. Not too much bother with the battery disconnected and an appropriate wait time to make sure everything is powered down. Apart from when I had fully reinstalled the liner and trims and got an airbag error warning and realised I had forgotten to reconnect the passenger side! Doh! So that half all got disassembled again to reconnect it. Now all done everything back in its place and all fault codes cleared with no issue. All in about 3hrs work. It would have been 2.5 without my airbag mistake!

So that’s the last of the dechrome jobs done and now full Sportline-ish exterior spec (apart from wheels and stance both of which are outside the budget for now!)
