Thats good,very good...

I love Red Dwarf too... Especially Kryten

The warning has been removed, The topic has been long discussed.I think we should leave it at that. and move onto something important mainly OUR CARS!

steering wheel remote? no mate any good?

To REDZ UK

also how have you found the headunit, functions etc... what with you test driving it and everything.

That really does look the mutts nuts me old mate. I spent alot of time deciding which H/U to go for, Opted for this one as it had everything. Any chance in helping A fellow lexus owner do the same in his ride mate??? Of course I am willing to compensate.....

Mine doesn't have a tilting screen, so there's not a lot I can say, since I didn't have that problem. I did help out another member who had a tilting screen, and that certainly had problems with it fouling the bottom of the fascia. There must be other members who have come up against this themselves though, and perhaps comment further ? The trouble is that it's all a combined job really. You'll need to power the head unit to see how it goes with the fascia (fouling etc), and to power it you'll have to have it wired in (though not necessarily physically installed in there). It's really not that hard, I know it might sound hard, but honestly, I'm kinda rubbish at this sort of thing but I did it fine. You can use a walkthrough to get things removed, connect up the new wiring (easy) and try the screen mechanism with the fascia test-fitted on. Then you can see what might need filing/cutting, if anything. Then you can sort out the fascia, fit it properly, and get everything put back in. Another alternative that I can think of is to get someone to install it for you, but leave off the fascia completely. Then you won't have any issues with the screen, but you will be left with an ugly gap around the head unit. Although you can always plan to get that sorted later ? You really don't need to pay an auto electrician, he'll be earning that money for doing pretty much nothing really. I would offer to help you myself but Yorkshire is a little bit far from me. I wonder if anyone who is in your neck of the woods might be able to help you out. Thanks mate, i wonder if there is someone around this sides???

Nice job on them calipers, Welcome to LOC me old..... :D

Lol, are these actual exam papers that someone has put the answers to?

Dont like the sound of that, Cutting anything is not one of my specialty. Mine is the one with the tilting screen..... I was thinking i would do the facia and let the electrician do the rest,What do you think? Any comments on the Headunit?

Hi all, I am about to install a double din headunit, This one, Kenwood DNX8220BT I have ordered the autoleads Facia Fp-25-00. and the amp by pass lead. My question is this, I want to wet/dry the facia as per DJ Wozza's walkthrough, But unsure as to what grade sandpaper i need to use? The walkthrough is excellent by the way! I have read nearly every single topic on this subject, Please can someone detail for me how much i need to sand, how many coats of the primer and how many coats of the satin black? ( I do tend to get carried away) I have also read somewhere that that bar in the middle of the facia needs to be cut for the double din, how do i go about doing this without snapping it in half? I have spent a lot of money on this system and intend to get it looking just right! I want the facia to match the OEM dash as much as possible... I will get the H/U installed professionally, as i can't risk mucking about with it myself. Has anyone experimented with another type of black,(Not the satin black from Halfords) although i think this is the closest match? and i will post pics once it is all done. all input greatly appreciated Any comments on the Headunit also appreciated.... (concerns/advice) Thanks Manny. :winky:

Really am gutted for you mate....

now the rest of the day Polishing....... :winky:

Thanks guys,Went to the garage first thing. The cooling fans had not been attached properly, jOB dONE!!!

My car has started to overheat, I have just had the timing belt changed as well as all the other belts and water pump. Car was driving fine, Then i parked up for about 20 mins and the temp needle started to creep up. Me thinks that the cooling fans are not working. Everything was tickety boo before the expensive work was done today. I managed to bring the temp back down by turning the heaters to full and taking a drive, But the temperature is still going up if I park up! Any advice appreciated as i am up at the garage first thing..... :tsktsk: There was also some slight missing as the temp went up. I did not notice at first. I did keep my eye on the needle when i got the car back off them but everything seemed alright. It was only when i parked up for the duration did i realize that the temp needle had gone up almost 3/4 of the way. This is when i noticed the slight missing if u can call it that... It was like it skipped a beat. I am sure the cables for the cooling fans are attached but it was to dark to really make out. That increase in temp is not going to have a detrimental effect on my car is it? I did bring it back down quite quickly once i had noticed. Everything was like clockwork before the timing belt change! VERY CONCERNED>>>>PLEASE HELP!

People have got more money then sense!

Jeremy Clarkson should be well chuffed...

OMG, This is just ridiculous, Just how much more can it sell for?

Try not to drive too close to other vehicles, especially on the motorway.

It gets printed on the counterpart (Piece of paper), You need that when you produce your license at a police station they will not accept it without it.

Bit of a noob question, What does the VSR consist of? I mean is it quite thorough?

Any updates on this mate?

Made my day that did!

It would have to be the pre 2001 model, for the not so big tax hike.
