    They're already on the car, I thought all RS models had them?
     
  4. Maybe then, thought they were only fitted to megs with xeons, will try mine tomorrow morning

    They only work when your headlights are on and fluid is above half
     
  6. I've got headlight washers with my 250 with halogens, no idea if they work all the time though!

    They work at any speed
     
  11. they don't work every time either, not sure but its around every 4-5 times you use the wiper washers.
     
  12. Loads of nice touches mate. Just seen you’re local. If you still struggle for a garage, Rentech are spot on.

    Yeah found that yesterday, worked at about 30. Sorry to the kids that were walking past! I forget how long it takes to finish spraying everything :tearsofjoy:

    I gave them a call last time I wanted some work done, which was all ball joints and track ends but they never got back to me, I sent him 2 messages on his facebook page after I called him and he still never got back to me. So I just went to K-Tec instead, I know some guys have had issues with them but they've always been amazing for me.

  14. Ah right. He is a bit of a one man band so isn’t the quickest at replying which is a shame. He looked after my clio for 5 years and had no issues!

    He just didn't seem very interested in doing the work
     
  16. Hi,

    You sprayed your outside door handles? How did you get them off to do this, is there an easy way. I tried searching the net the other day but couldn't find a guide on how to do it. I did my badges the other day and wanted to do the handles too but couldn't figure out how to get them off.

    Thanks.

    They were sprayed, currently wrapped but I don't like them so in January I'm getting carbon fibre ones done. This thread helps with showing you how to remove them https://rsmegane.com/threads/black-door-handles.16940/ it can be quite stiff the first time but you'll get it eventually. Once you've unhooked them it's just 2 screws to remove the plastic cover

    Just thought I'd let you guys know I've managed to retrofit electric folding mirrors and they work perfectly! May do a write up if anyone's interested

    Will work on a write up at some point next week for you

    Just got my armrest retrimmed so I got it fitted yesterday. Won't be everyone's cup of tea but I think it really fits with the gaiters and steering wheel!

    Got a big project in the works for my car currently. Working on a custom navigation system. I tried a Xtrons unit but didn't like it and to be honest the only thing the Megane is missing is nav as it has everything else you need like Bluetooth and RS Monitor which I didn't want to lose.

    Still testing it at the moment but this is how it looks currently and will also be able to keep the RS monitor.
    Running on a Raspberry Pi 4, boots straight into the nav and can add anything I want basically as it's a full custom unit.
     
  30. Please more details on that. I integrated Pi running Crankshaft/Android Auto into my RS 265.

    Which Software is it you are running and is it possible to run Android Auto too?

    It's possible but not something I'm going to bother with as I just don't need it. This is running navit, but it does require a lot of setup yourself.

    Using Scratch Doctor fabric dye to dye all the white stitching to yellow, looks a lot better

    Been driving the Beamer to work as it's cheaper, not as fun, not as comfortable and boring but I do love the iDrive. So I got this, R-Link RS Monitor 2 from StageX. I didn't want to continue with my homemade one, although it would work I wanted factory. Quite easy to fit, gotta remove the centre console to replace the cup holder with the controls, headunit, USB/Aux plugs, and screen obviously. So my RS Monitor 1 is up for sale.

  34. Did you supply the parts or did stage x?
     
  35. Charlie Howard

    Charlie Howard RSM Club Member

    They did, or though I guess you could get it all sent to them
     
  36. Expensive?
     
  37. Charlie Howard

    Charlie Howard RSM Club Member

    Yeah very, but worth it to me so you don't have to mount my phone anywhere and it works really well
     
  38. Pm me the price, thats if you dont mind.
     
  39. It's worth paying the little bit extra for android auto if you haven't got an apple phone.

    Yeah I got Android Auto added but probs won't use it as I don't like plugging it in
