Here’s my new fit, integrated with steering wheel controls but not CD changer which isn’t an issue as I stream music. It’s DAB which I’ll have to get my head around...... god knows, or someone on here might, how to find your favourite stations! View attachment 233466

where did you get those side fillers from?

I’ll check with the shop that fitted the unit where they come from. That Alpine’s a nice looking unit. Can you change the display colour?

Sadly not, amber or green would have fitted better.

I’ve got this if you want it? Free to a good P38 home!

It’s got the same adjustable display colour. DEH-X8700BT

That's a nice neat fit mate. Shame they could'nt hook up the cd changer for you. I still use my cd's, cassettes and 8 tracks.

Fluids and tyres checked. The valve on the spare wheel seemed to work except no matter what I did it would leak air as soon as I connected my airline. Changed for a spare from my stack. She's slowly losing a bit of coolant but no sign of where to. I hope it is not the first sign of a cracked head.

Glowing after my success with the driver's seat, on which I also changed the heated seat element while it was striped down,I found the passenger side foot mat soaking wet. Did the usual checks, sunroof drains clear,a/c drains clear, pollen filter soaking wet so re sealed the cover with draught excluder and success.

.if only things were that easy with bloody putors.

Have you checked heater matrix/Orings . Only really noticed it on mine when I left a piece of kitchen towel left underneath for a few days and spotted it was wet after driving, but if you sat watching it I couldn't see it dripping.

Not seen anything but will check again. I have never done mine.

Looks like the P38 breaker chaps down in Wales are trying to scam/conn folk online and via email. They need to get up a lot earlier than me to catch me out. Why they do it and think they can get away with it amazes me TBH. They obviously frequent this site so maybe the Admin/Mods need to block them??? no wonder they never sell anything on ebay. Most of it is rotton crap.

My carpet felt dry underneath the matrix but by sliding a piece of kitchen roll in it came out wet after the engine had been run. Only lost a cupful over a week BUT it was leaking and would only have got worse. Took my time over a few days and it went fairly smoothly. I did disconnect feed and return under bonnet and couple them together so I could still use the RR
