Thanks for the multichanger Chris. 👍 My pleasure, glad you now have a working system. Guess it must have been plug & play if only 30 mins. Enjoy.

Huw_L Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Yep. Plugging in the CD changer to check it worked = 1 minute Removing spare wheel, frunk trim & existing metal bracket before fitting changer & bracket & refitting trim/wheel = 29 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the alignment one of your 5 per year? I love you have 3 sets of wheels! I store my winters in my Mother's garage.... must get those fitted soon. So wish I had a set of 16s! My winters are Bridgestone Weather Control A005, which I highly recommend and very reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitted second set of wheels as the set on the car are coming off for refurbishment But I'll still be able to use the car ( weather conditions permitting 😃) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also, however, get extremely frustrated when we have a sunny winter day and not being able to pop the roof down. Anyway congratulations on fitting it, not a job for one person, unless you're the size of George North! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myfirstboxster Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Today I fitted some new door mounted speakers to replace the wheezy originals , luckily the mounting brackets matched the originals exactly and even managed to use the original wiring ( ok , I had to reverse the large/small bayonet connectors , a bit of crimping sorted that out ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkstar Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Replaced the bulb in the dashboard that illuminated the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorenzoUK Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Washed and waxed as i wasn't happy with the crappy wax i put on last time, it just didn't bead at all. I then had the stereo i fitted (a "factory reconditioned" unit off ebay) a couple of weeks ago go on the blink. As luck would have it, i have another sony here, so literally a 2 minute job to switch them out and prove it's the stereo rather than the wiring. I've contacted the seller, we'll see what he says.

But oh so cool when you turn the key and see the countdown to your oil level for the first time in over a month. I can't tell you how pleased I was to see that again. The time is good also some times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milko Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Booked in for a clutch at RPM in Knaresborough. It's just starting to whoop a little if you apply too much throttle at 2k revs. Had a great discussion with the service manager and will probably need a DM flywheel and crank seal while they're in there. MOT is due the end of November so they'll give that a look over as well. I live a few miles away so it seemed the logical place to go. They've got lots a very nice cars to look at.

Hard to tell how much of that is new rubber, winter rubber and wider rubber. What part sidewall plays and weight difference. im certainly happy with them.
