If you have a break in that fibre circuit, nothing will work, that is guaranteed. If you don't recreate the loop you're on a hiding to nothing. Each module on the fibre circuit has effectively an In and an Out. Light and data come down one side and out the other onto the next module, when...

Here's a couple of snaps from mine From looking at your pictures it seems that someone has removed a section of the fibre cable so you can probably just get a joiner to connect them up again and get some of it working. I keep a couple of these in the tool box for troubleshooting Fibre...

I'm only replacing 4 of the speakers though so there's a good chance they won't be the same. I found another write up that detailed which is which so I'll connect them up and then test them with the website suggest by Roythebus. I found that the other day too so I'm interested to try it out.

Can any of you point me at a diagram or simply tell me which of the speaker wires is + and which is - ? I've bought some Audison Prima 6.5" and Tweeter components to replace the blown stuff in the front of mine and have a bit of an upgrade while I'm there (and yes, they are the 2 ohm ones)...

I will do it tomorrow, weather and time permitting

I can probably help you out a bit here, I have the same car so I'll take some pictures for you of mine and see if I can get you the part numbers but as others have suggested the break in the fibre bus is going to stop everything communicating. You can buy loop connectors (I keep some for such...

I cannot for the life for the life of me fathom the need for a front camera view on the rear view mirror that is what the windscreen is for is it not? I have Blackvue cameras in most of our cars and I would not ever recommend them. The way they compress the data is just horrible, it makes it...

Did mine when I bought it too. I had two keys, one was really bad with an awful silicone case over it and the other not too bad but the key didn't work. I decided to try a new battery in the inoperable key but settled for removing the sticker from it when I took it out 😁 I guess the...

Or a split inlet manifold. They love those. Get your codes. Is it a 3.6? If so and you have a "boost correlation fault" it will almost certainly be a boost hose or a split manifold. I've had both go on mine. When the boost hose went, It actually split under the unit-abrasion sleeve so It...

+1 for the fibre optic loop. With my CD changer disconnected the other week when fitting CarPlay I was scratching my head as to why I had the RR logo only and then realised that looking the CD changer on the floor next to the car creates a sizeable break in the MOST bus! (It was MOST on...

It's a Parrot CK3100 BT hands free kit. They were pretty good in their day.

24th March 2006 was the significant date for that, no idea why it was on that day as I always thought that a 55 plate will be on the cheaper end but an '06 will empty your wallet a lot more but based on the Gov.uk website, you could conceivably get an '06 that is in the cheaper bracket provided...

Yes sir. It retains all the original functionality. You select Aux input and then hold the phone hang up button for second or two and switches into the IDCore unit; Android Auto or CarPlay. I will do a video on it when I get a bit more time. There are videos on the product page here so that...

It is yes.

Took a couple of bits out and installed Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. I am over the moon with this. It wasn't cheap but the integration is excellent and it keeps it looking 100% stock. Not for the feint-hearted though as you will need to strip down the head unit and add a new circuit board and...

Took the one in the background to the station to collect the buyer for the one in the foreground. Guy came from Skipton to Maidstone and is currently heading back "oop norf". Hope it does as well for him as it has done me. Glad to know it's going to get used again and also happy to have a...

Sold

I can't see the car you're helping out there :) Hope they didn't mind being towed through that big puddle 😁 I had imagined the story to look much worse in reality but then I've never attempted any of this in mine (not yet anyway) so I've no room to comment! I admire the attempt all the same...

Have a feeling it was 2004/5 from conversations in the past, definitely an early one though. Either way, 12.7 with ignition on is amazing. the 2010> could dream of that!

Over 2million miles and people still swearing these things are unreliable! I get the speaker errors on mine but they all work, perhaps an impedance /resistance issue with age and wear
