  1. Hi every1 jus need some advice / confirmation regards wats changed or inspected only in this service. I thought this was considered the Full / major service and i knw its minor but the air filter wasnt changed, nw is this normaly done in this service. i had the service done at the dealers and for some reason makes me wonder could there be anythin else not done. I had a problem with the car startin it didnt always fire up, after reading previous posts on here the change of spark plugs seemed the ansa. however i have still had this problem. They were quick 2 point out in the report areas that need attention on the car.

    Many Thanks For Your Help.

  2. I finally got the kit installed, very pleased with the amateur effort.

    1 Nokia car kit

    2 Nokia control box

    3 I made an extra hole in the casing that holds the heated seat switches for the wiring from the cradle

    4 I padded the control box 2 avoid any viabration, purchased it from a crafts shop

    5 How the casing looks with the wiring from the cradle

    6 After deciding 2 fit the box on the side of the inner console for extra support ive used velcro

    7 Back plate of the cradle cliped 2 the plastic

    8 After installing the box in it place stuck 2 the side with the velcro and paddin 2 help avoid the viabration

    9 The speaker is mounted under the glovebox on the side of the heated foot vents

    10 Answer button ive placed there purely for it 2 be a little discreet

    11 Mic is on the side window pillar

    12 Everythin in place and the completed little project

  3. plug and play does seen the easiets, i was thkin abt placing the main nokia unit under the centre console and due 2 the lack in lenght of the power cable jus get the power frm behind the stereo, i did install a sat nav like other members and source the power for the housing frm the stereo leads, i may simply split the blue wire frm the red and do the same 4 this.

  4. Hi Parthiban thanks 4 the reply i haven't got any additional leads, but 2 be honest the kit is fully complete and wasnt really planning on using the mute facility 2 work through the car speakers. the kit has its own sperate speaker which i was goin 2 use. I simply jus want power 2 the unit. my nokia connector block seems slightly different 2 urs, as stated the red and blue wire are connected 2gether. only leaving the red and black and yellow after the fuse

  5. Hi ppl, sorry a similar post was done quite some time ago so i do apologise but a little lost/confused, im abt 2 install a car kit. simple question the power lead has 4 wires red, black, blue and yellow comimg from the main unit. now the red and blue have been wired 2gether. now only leaving 3, im assuming the yellow is 4 mute, now i thought for power u always had three wires where im now only left with 2 the red and black. is this all i need, to which wires behind the stereo do i need 2 connect these 2?

    hope u understand this

    many thanks

  6. Cheers guys, went down 2 wim after chattin 2 Tony, once on the ramp indications my front disks and pads were not suitable/adapting to the car, they have now changed it all, calipers were fine, however rear disks do need changing. But still get viabrations in steering wheel around 50-60mph, fine when driving 70 or over. Think it may need balancing

  7. Cheers will do and check it out, originally with the steering wheel shaking left and right i thought could need tracking. Just a quick one when i jack the car up wat am i looking 4? how free the wheel rotates or for noise, sorry im awful at mechanical things, normally jus pay a mechanic/garage keep my hands clean, lol.

  8. well it all started since i had my rear pads changed and at the same time they tried 2 tighten my hand brake, which seems the same if not slightly more loose. after this went on the m'way and the car was makin a loud viabratin noise had 2 slow down happened at speed, went back 2 the garage and they said the wheels needed balancing, but its all strange how it started after the pad change.

  9. Evening All, can anyone help pls, wen drivin on the m'way after 70mph the car seem 2 have a shaky/ viabrating feel, i can feel it in the accelerator pedal, and even the passenger seat is viabrating. Wen i let go of the steering wheel its shakes left and right, ive had all wheels balance still the same, any idea guys?

    thanks

  10. Hi Everyone, can any1 helrm p or advise, when i start driving i hear a clicking noise from the front driverside wheel havent checked other side as yet, hear it between abt 10-20mph, cant hear it wen goin faster due to the wind. Does any one know wat it cuould be?

    Thanks
