  1. Opened the ad expecting it to be the Slowest Diesel Imaginable
  2. Watching the video and the disintegrating dials, didn't one of the Berlingos in the scrapyard have a set of good condition green dials? One could always Frankenstein those dial faces into your existing cluster
  3. I think it's actually from a late 90s/early 2000s Isuzu NKR
  4. Are these EfficientGrip2's? Been using then in the Merc and they're decent tyres, no complaints so far
  5. I know a friend with a late MK2 (163 bhp) and he swears by it! He searched endlessly for a perfect spec for him though 1.6 HDI is a really common engine here. That's another reason why I don't see why people worry so much about these. They're everywhere and with cheap parts around here. Might get one as a runaround when I'm done with uni. Plus i love the facelift interior with the 407 switchgear and yellow/orange dash lighting Even though, knowing myself, it'll most likely go from a runaround to a full blown project...
  6. This thread alone has me looking at C5's as even the later facelifted ones are reaching the 2000€ mark here. Wondering how good or bad these are with the 1.6 HDI and a manual box
  7. thought it'd be the same as the 9N Polo which needed it! But a lot of sellers will bundle the adapter so one can always try The radio model is RCN210 btw
  8. Remarkably easy! Just needs a little canbus adapter that I can send the link for. No wiring necessary, just plugs And they sell a version with green buttons for Skodas too!
  9. Seems like every day I'm gonna be working in stereos... Got this nice little unit working in a mark 4 Polo today
  10. sorry for the dig, But do you have the serial number/barcode? Being most likely a Clarion, If it starts in C7 I could probably get the right code, even if it's just to chuck the radio on evilbay
  11. So, I was looking for an OEM looking stereo to fit in my Aldi, but supporting AUX and MP3 discs etc I figured out the best one would be a SEAT Alana MP3 from a Mk3 Ibiza, with full red lighting matching the Audi interior perfectly. Stumbled upon this unit in a drum on the scrapyard. I asked "how much?" "Nothing, it's broken, won't turn on" As an Electronics Engineering student I accepted the challenge. Opened it up to check for faults and everything seemed okay. Well, WCPGW? I hooked it up Fired right up. Doesn't look jarring or terrible in the dash, just protruding the slightest bit in the bottom. And matches perfectly in the night
  12. This. Got cheap droplinks and CV joints for the Aldi and they were knackered again in 8 months. Went with a known brand a year ago and they're still good as new
  13. Another W203 retrofit, this time an auto-dimming mirror!
  14. That D-Bass knob brings back memories. I grew up listening my choons from one of these in our Aldi

    HMC- AUTOSHITE 2.0

    It actually became a joint GM-Toyota plant before being handed over to Tesla. Built the Geo Prizm, Toyota Matrix, Pontiac Vibe... Basically GM brought in Toyota to tell those people how to build a damn car

    Bus Shite

    This presumably ex-UK bus was at my university! Only thing I know it's that the first reg dates from March 2003
  17. Morettes suit almost any 80s-90s car well tbh
  18. Oh okay, got it. Here it's illegal to use hid unless there's self leveling and headlight washers so was wondering if it'd be equal there
  19. Idk about UK law, but what can go wrong if @maxxojust sticks the HIDs back in the car now that it's MOT'd?
  20. Not gonna lie, the facelifted PT Cruiser's interior doesn't look nearly as bad as people make it out to be
  21. My Merc finally has working choons again! The radio I paid almost 200 quid for, showed up on Monday morning
  22. But unlike the 16V, it doesn't eat engines for breakfast! So, could be worse
