What have you done to your Car today?

Full rear brake overhaul will commence tomorrow weather permitting.

 

Snug little fitment and oem looking.

 

Got a clay mitt on the car today, seemed to do a good job

 

Which unit is that? Looks very tidy.

 

I think it's one of these?
Remember looking at this myself a while ago.

Get a review up Mr Clarke... It looks a good fit

 

Yeah its that one.

Bit annoyed it says free postage yet I've just had a letter from tnt wanting £90

 

Surely they can't ask for this after its already been delivered and installed?!
Is it for import duty?
Think I would be telling them to go forth and multiply!

 

Just fitted my H&R springs.

Did a front one yesterday and fitted the other three this morning.

Front ones are a lot easier than I was expecting from what ive read.

5 bolts and its out.

 

The satnav

 

Was signed for

 

Ha ha like your thinking!

 

Then washed it.

 

Import duty + VAT + handling

 

Not really free shipping though is it.

Guess I'm paying up.

 

How can they ask for that after it has been delivered? Surely they should be holding parcels and only releasing them after duty is paid?

 

I wouldn't pay for anything mate

 

So the plan was full rear disc, pads, fluid change & caliper refurb.

Thought I had all the tools, hub nut came off without any hassle (which I had expected to be a pain), and all was going well until I came to remove the caliper carrier so I could remove the disc.

That is were the job ended. At first it seemed like they were 19 mm bolts, which I have both spanner and socket fittings for. But after all the grime and stuff came away it became clear they are 18mm. I tried with adjustable wrenches but didn't want to spoil the bolt heads! So I bled the caliper and fitted back together. Will aquire some 'toys' during the week and have a play this weekend

 

I'd like to see a full run down on that unit too, I'd like to see how good the screen is.

 

Had my sons scooby do dvd and the screen as fantastic.

Loads better than I thought it would be.

 

Does the Bluetooth work for music? or just phone calls?

Does suit the interior alot better than mine with the surround.

 

Bluetooth works for music; calls, podcast everything.

 

Looks great Clarke, I take it that's a non android unit tho or is it ??

 

Non android unit? Explain

 

wince6.

 

Got my car mapped at Engine Dynamics with a Henk map. 262.2 bhp with 287.3 lbft.

just asking if it had a google android op system front, but had a look and its not, win6 I think

 

It is wince6

I am looking at a few things at the minute to get it to dual boot the inbuilt OS and Android.

Also looking to find out ways using miogps to unlock the device and get newer firmware on them

 

Fitted front mudflaps. Ballache of a job.

Not sure if I should fit the rears or leave it?

 

Fitted new switches for the cruise control as one of the old ones where broken.
