Re: Changed thermostat

Yes guys it was a genuine thermostat as had read the posts on here, it comes up to temp pretty quickly which makes me doubt thermostat (also the fact it's pretty much brand new) but I guess I'll change it again.

Re: Changed thermostat

Well finally got around to changing the temp sensor and it's better but still not sorted, temp is going up now but only to the first dash after the three bottom ones so well under the 90 degrees centre, any other ideas what I might need to look at?.

Re: Coilovers?

I have coil overs on a wagon and have a good chunk of audio in the boot and have had it loaded up for tip runs also had it five up with large adults without issue, ride is a bit bouncy at times but the only real issue is grounding over bumps as I have it sat pretty low

Re: Coilovers

I've got the same problem with my fronts (bought second hand) I'm dosing them with plus gas every other day at the moment to see if it will help free them off before I have to buy new ones

Cruise control activation

So I'm about to buy the kit to retro fit which with the guide I'm reasonably confident I can get it sorted, I am however going to need it activated once fitted from what I read in the guide. Is there anyone near Grimsby who can activate it for me along with the window closure feature?

Re: Window Tints

You pay for the skills they've learnt over years as well as the time, sure you can get it cheaper but I'm sure it'll be a worse job or take longer.

ABS or No?

Cars not currently drivable having lunched a driveshaft and CV joint so can't do the obvious and slam the brakes on!, how can I tell whether my B5 wagon is ABS equipped or not?. I need to find out to get the new driveshaft ordered.

New wheels

Anyone have a pic of a B5 on 3SDM 0.01's?? I've looked on Google but not finding much to help looking for the polished face ones ideally. Or is anyone handy with photoshop?.

Re: Aerial upgrade

Reception on shark fins is shockingly bad don't bother!.

The standard aerial should do a more than good enough job so I'd imagine it's the adaptor that's the issue, having the amplified part not powered won't be helping for sure.
