fit some wind deflectors mate. they really set it off nicely

huhhhhhh???? lol...I aint that technically minded to do or understand that tbh mate. I dont mind giving stuff a try but the aircon system is one that I just dont understand. how do I check the compressor?

omg! thats the same problem that I've got. I read up on getting the direct feed to the compressor but wasnt sure on how to do it so didnt try. have u had any luck with it mate?

When I got my car the aircon worked fine but when the car was repaired the aircon had to be drained. anyway, i got it recharged a while back but the compressor wont kick in so I dunno whats going on. I posted on this a while back I think but couldnt get to the bottom of the issue. considering the aircon worked before then I doubt the compressor has died. could someone help me? I didnt have any form of burning smell btw like above

lol...I had this very same issue a while back and was scratching my head for a while. its the connector for the motorised adjustment of the headlight mate. at some point in time the headlight has been changed and i'm guessing the replacement was from a jap import. when I was sorting my car out and the garage damaged one of the pair of lights I had, the replacement I got didnt have the motor on the back so I got a cable doing nothing as well. i'm still trying to figure out though if the motor can be added afterwards as I really wanna have the motorised adjustment on both lights not just the one.

now thats something I've never seen installed before. i'm guessing its a new technology thats getting impletmented now? is there any benefit of having a heat exchanger?

my heating is playing up as well. the whole left side of the car blows cold whatever the setting on the heating. anyone got any advice??

how does the throttle body get dirty???

whats that big massive circular thing next to your exhaust manilfold??? never seen anything like that before on an lpg conversion.

did anyone ever actually get to the bottom of this problem??? I've got the same problem and posted but no one even replied...

I have to agree...the roads are terrible so everyone really needs to be careful. Dont wanna hear about another person getting the back end out in these conditions as it really is scary.

Has anyone managed to stop all traffic on the motorway before? Well I did last nite......... I'd just like to warn everyone to please be extremely careful on the roads as I was a very lucky person last nite and was nearly a gonner when my car span 360 degrees across 4 lanes of the M56 yesterday evening and stopped pointing towards oncoming traffic! All this happened just after 5pm so as u can tell it was rush hour and very busy. Think I hit a patch of ice on the slip road whilst joining onto the motorway then next thing I knew was that the back end stepped out so I tried to correct it but I couldnt recover from the spin. Ended up in the middle of the motorway and coz I've got a dodgy battery at the moment I couldnt get the car started again so had to push it to the side of the motorway. Luckily all the traffic stopped in time and there was no damage done to the car and I'm ok although was really shaken up. Thats gotta be the scariest thing to happen to me ever! So anyway...everyone, be careful! Also, I know its a slim chance that the person will read this but the guy that got out of his van on the motorway and helped me push my car and asked if I was ok...Thanks very much mate!!

bump....anyone???

sorry to revive this thread but just noticed this morning that I've got the same problem with my heating....jim did u ever get to the bottom of this problem? my left hand side passenger side vent is only blowing cold air even when the heating is set to hot. all other vents seem to be working ok. can someone please help me as i dont wanna be stuck with faulty heating especially when the weather is starting to get really cold. i always end up with heating issues in winter lol...had the civics resistor pack go last year then its heater motor lol..

Thats a bit too cheap tbh! Something doesnt sound right there at all I'd say mate. In order to fix a cat d quite a bit of money would have had to be thrown at it and well the selling price just doesnt reflect the actual value of it while it was still damaged if u get me. Put it this way...after having bought a cat d myself and put it back on the road, I'm guessing that to get that car and repair it urself would cost roughly what ur getting it at plus repair costs but....something just doesnt seem right to me coz of the cost. its just toooo low. are u 100% sure they want 8k? its not a cat c is it? and can u get hold of pics of when it was damaged to confirm what was repaired/replaced?

not sure on how lexus deal with it but have a look at moneyclaim.gov.uk if u wanna make a claim. i just finished my claim last week n won my case :)

I'd be interested in taking the strut brace off u.....pm me please if we could come to some compromise...

Sorry mate I aint got any pics of how to do it myself as I've never had a pioneer head unit, only panasonic or JVC myself. I'd suggest that u register on talk audio mate and ask on there as i'm sure someone will be able to help.

Dont quote me on this mate but it may be the earth track. This is an issue which affects pioneer systems where the earth track on the PCB breaks. Its quite a big fix which typically involves stripping the entire unit down but from what I've read its doable. Have u tried contacting pioneer? Is the unit covered by a warranty still? Check out www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb Theres plenty of people on there who should be able to help u as I'm pretty sure thats where I read about the issue. Hope that helps mate. Keep us updated.

sweet...what camera have u used mate as thats one very high quality image as well.

After spending 2 gorgeous weeks in gran canaria! Got back early hours of tuesday morning and well...now I remember why I went away lol the uk is so boring lol...Had an amazing holiday though which included going on a custom built jet boat powered by 2 big block chevy V8's and capable of over 70mph! Will post pics up when I have a chance. So whats been happening on here? Did anyone go to trax? How was it? Rehan

cool. good to hear that u had a good time. i'm off to gran canaria on monday for 2 weeks! cant wait! :)

I used a blueprint oil filter on my car. Is that ok mat? Whats the anti drain valve all about?

I'm guessing u not been to WIM?

So are u gonna repair it mate? Judging by the pics thats really heavy damage and isnt worth repairing I think. I'm surprised that the insurance didnt allow u to take bits off it like the stereo and then u coulda let them keep the car. I'd say either break it or sell it on. U'll get some money for it...defo more than what u paid to buy it back.
