    What's ****ed you off today?

    I’ve found them spot on, yodel however they took 5 weeks to deliver an eBay parcel of batteries for the UPS, on the tracking it said they either had a van fault or couldn’t find the address, then they’d hold the parcel for 48 hours whilst they hold an investigation. In the end the seller had to...

    Digital Display

    The bulbs in them are a little seed bulb they often blow and you won’t see anything, if you take the Mat off under it on the shelf there’s some screws undo those and you should be able to point out and remove the bulbs and check them

    Astra mk3 1997 1.6 16v auto: Radiator fan issue.

    At the top of the engine bay there is also a place where if you short the connectors it tests the different fan speeds, was wondering if something had maybe been put in there? Haven’t got a picture to hand of the place but it’s up near the scuttle cover

    Changing Speakers

    I think if I remember correctly they’re a bit tight against the door card, and you only notice it when your pushing them hard and it occasionally clips the speaker cover, may look into 3d printing a cover that has a cut out for the speaker

    Changing Speakers

    You’ll most likely need an adapter mount to allow the speaker to clear the electric windows, I fitted some JBL ones if you look on my build thread you should be able to find them.

    Not much to update, With having the single din touchscreen screen when using apple car play on long journeys it slows down as its also the amp and the fan runs mega fast. I've had an alpine 600 watt amp for a while to fit, and decided to follow Andy_Mk3 and put it under the front seat...

    will it ever stop? (not work safe)

    I’ve often thought about the 1.4 turbo/1.6 turbo for mine, make it a bit more lively, but it would be new engine mounts going into something that nobody has done before etc and working with different gear boxes, wish I was a bit further forward with it to have offered some help, I still dream of...

    FK Phase 2 Angel Eyes no indicators include LEDs

    Bought new in 2021, used for a few years on my mk3 then got some bi-xenon’s so these are surplus to requirements. Come with AutoBeam LED H1 Dipped and H7 halogen mains, I made the looms so they run off the car wiring, and no relays, would need a modification made to keep the dipped on with the...
