  1. Sorted, (sort of) it turned out to be a dodgey RCA cable. I pulled the HU out to check connections again and with it pulled halfway out it works so I've folded it so it works for now and I'll have to find another one. Thanks for the input lads!
  2. Yea i had a play around with the settings on the HU, ive got power to the camera and it changes to the camera mode on the HU when in reverse but no picture Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Ive had this problem in work with a range rover and more recently a passat. Its possible to get the door cards off although it's difficult to do it without breaking anything! Be prepared for alot of swearing and frustration. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Nice one, ill check that on monday, if not ill plug another camera into it and see whats what Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Scrap all that, finished off the install today after yesterdays nightmare and the bloody thing displays a blank screen! Any ideas anyone? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Its pretty straight forward really, I had the bumper off to do my lights so getting the cables through the grommet and into the boot was easy but I can imagine that bit to be fiddly if the bumper was fully attached, you might need to take a few bolts and clips off to get some access. Other that that it's just the yellow video cable to the back of the head unit, tap the power cable into the reversing light power cable and the earth to a decent earthing point and run another cable from the reversing trigger on the back of the head unit to the reversing light power cable. There's a good guide on here somwere, very detailed and pictured. I've worked with cars for the last 10 years and that's the 1st time a blown reversing light fuse has prevented a car from starting! Your always learning in this game haha.
  7. Hahaha she probably read "plug and play"!
  8. I recently bought a reversing camera from eBay that fits in as one of the umber plate lights, fitted it at the same time as fitting some car lab LED rear lights in the bumper. At some point ( probably in running the cables to the back of the head unit) I must have shorted out the reversing trigger and popped the reversing light fuse. This was my fault for trying to test the camera before having all the cables secured and connected but anyway this resulted in the car not starting! Just a heads up to anyone who plans on fitting a camera as it took me a while to trace the fault and work out what a massive *#+€#*% I had been.
  9. Has anybody got the heater control unit? I have a 2002 JDM and accidentally damaged the ribbon cable! If it's from a uk model I'll need the pod gauges too I think? Thanks!
  10. Just be aware that if you order a passenger side motor you will get a drivers side motor as in america they are left hand drive! I bought one from texas and realised a few days later that id made a silly mistake! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. Obviously it wouldn't pass the emissions test with de-cats fitted but if by some magic it did, and the de cats look like sports cats or at least thicker than the rest of the pipe work than there is no way to tell whats inside. Obviously if its just been cut out and a piece of straight pipe welded in then its a fail. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. I love the roof mate! Looks awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Ive had a look on google images, the choices are endless! I fancy something different but not too loud. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I've got some replacement window motor brushes and a double din adapt or to replace in the next few days and I thought I might spruse up the interior a bit with some vynal wrap whilst I've got its stripped down! Has anyone got any pics of custom interiors as I'm struggling to imagine what it would look like in different colours?
  18. Ive been on a few of these and at most of them ive managed to pay £20 odd quid extra on the day to one of the instructors for a go in one of the others! Usually if you get chatting to them and its the end of the day with less people around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Isnt it a Renault engine? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I might have a search on here and try it on a second hand set maybe! I cant be doing with them fogging up after ive messed with them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Looks great! How much of a job was it to paint the inside of the headlights? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tyres?

    I bought my Zed with T1 sports on, I've got a spare set of wheels knocking about so I might get a decent set in the new year if these kumho's try and kill me! The T1ns are comfortable but I don't rate them in the wet.

    Tyres?

    So it's more a case of the car being suited to the tyre than just the quality of the tyre? I never really thought of it in that way but it's a good point. Bit late now as I've bought kumho's! If I find myself wallowing around bends and struggling for traction then I'll be swapping them out for the MPSS. What's your views on the Toyo proxys?

    Really? Are they that bad? Poor compound?
  25. Sadly it's garages like this that give genuine garages a bad name, this annoys me a lot as I'm a mechanic myself. I'd be looking to do as much as you can to expose these cowboys!
