The FTRR definitely stands out in interior quality in comparison to the D5 , do also like the D5 but wow the FFRR is gorgeous Not sure about the interior colour of the D5 , this one comes with the ie6 petrol supercharged and wonder of it’s the...

Was generally scrolling as u do and saw this, thought what a gorgeous colour and interior, still with actual dials 🤣 , 8 x speed and the very nice tft display which I’ve seen on some models where u can have the sat nav display in full display...

So, no quick fixes. Couple of reasons: some of the connectors of the head lamps and side indicators are not great, so to do it propably bullet connectors are the way to go. Then there I need to plug a new wire between the fuel pump connector on...

I've had a search around and apparently yours delivers slightly less than the old style, at 80RMS. I'm not techy enough to work out what that is W peak but 20% less would seem logical. Hence strolling down the road rather than bouncing 😁

Yep I've seen those oval things. Have to admit they don't look like they would make the veh bounce down the road when turned up to 11. 🙈

You couldn't stomp up to the girlie in your village from here. Well, not very easily. 🤣 Oh and one calls them 'staff' sweetie 😉

Thanks. I just find it curious that neither speaker is now working, when only one was changed..

Good question, well presented, deserves an answer I don't have one 🤣 How would I find out which it is, dear Sir?

I've heard you do a good Elvis impersonation Mark ;) :D

You need a "live in mechanic" lodger 🤔😜

Lunch, and rain, break update: the main and engine harnesses are out. No idea why one would attach the engine harness using a inlet manifold bolt so. Anyway, the engine harness is more difficult than the main one, I did not expect that...

That'll be a quick fix, I'll simply attach different connectors to the old wiring. That'll have to do for now.

Four possibilities: No power, no audio feed, blown amp, or blown speakers. Scrappers always say either "working when removed", or "tested & working". Personally I don't believe either on electrical parts!!

There's 4 drain tubes - one at each corner. The rear pair have joins partway down the C-pillars. Can't remember if the front pair do as well though. Definitely NOT high pressure water. Last time I did mine, I use a lentch of 2.5mm main...

I use a length of the spring wire plastic coated that was used to hang netting from in windows. Its flexi and thin enough to go down the drains easily

+1. I don't know if there are any joins but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way. No harm in a funnel and a jug of water.

Could be destructive.

According to Royal Mail, the manual regulators should arrive early next week. Soon enough. And somehow I am done with electrics once the wire are in! 😁

100% agree.

Damn, forgot one thing. The electric wondows are removed. So I need at least a manual one for the driver side befire I can go to pass TÜV. Ordered one of eBay, we'll see when they are delivered. Hopefully next week!

Well, the "What did you do today ..." thread is not the best place to track all the wiring stiry. So here an update and summary so far: All cables are identified and the routing as well. The rear harness is in, the main harness passes...

At that money??? Err no my mate😜 I appreciate a good sound system but sometimes you can be just as happy with simple and effective 👍

Crossed wires on my part, I thought you were referring to the Blaupunkt.

I'm pretty sure my old RRC cig. lighters (F & R) are also ign. live, not permanent. Something to do with the safety of inquisitive kids if they are left in the car?

The P38 does not like being jump started, you may one day cause serious problems with an ECU.

That's not going to help long term. The battery needs to be tip top of you'll get ghost errors due to low voltage

Trailer socket is next to the tow hook. If you do not have a tow hook, behind the trim in the left side of the boot you will find a connector for the 7S trailer wiring, it has a fused live and and earth. If you are really stuck for a copy of...

All the cables are now identified! Tomorrow the instllation and testing, Sunday reassembly of everything. If it works, TÜV next week!

Springs will not affect the trailer lights. As others have said, it will be an earth problem.
