Re: Idiotic Neighbours

When I was still living at my parents home back in the mid seventies my old man (a serving Met CID officer) couldn't get back on his drive. The reason being some numpty had parked his XJ6 across it and gone in the local pub. My dad rang the local police station and they wouldn't do anything, so he t...

Re: What are the best OEM stereos to fit in a B6

Sounds like an RNS 315 DAB unit is the way to go for you then. All you need is a mic, a DAB screen aerial and a GPS puck, the installation shouldn't take much more than 40 minutes. If you have the white MFD cluster you may need to do some VCDS coding for it all to work OEM IMHO.

Sorry but why shouldn't the OP do what he wants to do, if we all applied common sense then no one would modify their cars period. I would go as far as saying IMPO that modding cars is like art for the common man and I don't understand Picaso (not the crappy french car lol) or impressionist art, as t...

Re: The future of LED headlight bulbs

We had a DVSA inspection in October and I asked him about HID conversions. The reply was that as we cannot remove the headlamp bulbs to check what they are they must be treated as if they are just extra bright Halogens. They must still pass the beam pattern test and don't require washers (because we...

Re: Urgent assistance required - please help.

Sounds very much like the clutch centre plate has failed, will require a new clutch kit and I would recommend at that mileage a new DMF.

Re: Arm rest/centre console

Got an7 pictures? You can remove the top armrest peice to look closely at the mechanism, take off the rear panel with the vent/ashtray and you can then remove the top part that you lean on. There are two metal arms that slide into the sleeves you should be able to see when the rear trim is removed ...
