bounty78 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I attempted the DIY iPod tape deck hack mod last week using the some of the guides on here. Unfortunately things went a bit pete thong. Bought a cable off the ebay that would allow me to play and charge the iPod at the same time. In fairness the mod did work for a few minutes until i put the head unit back together. Not exactly sure what i have done wrong but next thing i know..no power to the head unit and the car. My light clusters in the dashboard and speedometer and my folding mirror stopped working Took the car round to Lee's Falcon Performance garage in Middlesbrough and as usual the service and work done is spot on. Turn out that it has 'fried' the IPM intelligent power module, and burnt out 9 fuses. This garage is truly a 350Z specialist..i bet there isn't anything that they couldn't fix if there is a fault with the car.Highly recommended for those in North East and Yorkshire. I am in North East most weekends if u wonder why i have travelled this far to get my car sorted. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lee and his two brothers Dane and Steve for the stress free experience and their hospitality. Have had lots of work done by them. It's probably the only garage that i will take my car to if i ever need anything big and complicated done on the car. In the past they have managed to sort out the constant CEL engine management light on my car after two cowboy garages in Nottinghamshire has failed to diagnose the problem. http://www.falconperformance.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=55 Their price and hourly rate is far more competitive than the Nissan stealer and Lee is very good at sourcing pre-owned parts for a fraction of what you pay the stealer. They cater for all your Zed's need including bodyworks and wheels alignment and tyres. They do a lot of German and Italian luxury cars as well as race cars And i have never seen a workshop as clean as Falcon's. I thought Falcon deserve a mention as they might not be as well known as some on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do u normally get back..do you wait while they work on the car? either used a rental car on falcons rates (v v cheap) or waited and invaded lee's life for the day theres plenty to look at round the garages to keep you entertained i try to get everything all sorted in one shot making going so far viable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
