If you're going down the DIY route, buy decent LEDs, not sure on the size but for lamp replacemt applications in the dash some 5mm ones should do it. Osram and Phillips make decent ones that last. You'll likely need some resistors too. 0.5W should be high enough for the current and 850 to 1000 Ohms is usually sufficient. RS components beats Maplins hands down for price and range IMO Looks of the following characteristics: Radial leads (two legs at one end, they only work one way round) Light dispersal- usually in degrees, bigger is better for this Clear or frosted lens - clear gives a "bright spot" in the LED frosted disperses the light more but is often dimmer. Light output - Lumens or candella, depends how bright you want it, 120 is pretty dim - mobile key backlight sort of stuff.

I've just fixed a mate's one, Glass, digitizer and LCD, as said about £50 parts. It's a pain the LCD is now bonded to the glass at least with the 3 it was just a £13 glass and digitizer replacement. I know its to stop dust getting in it, but surely a half decent gasket would have been better. Sorry back on topic, it's likely they'll want to charge for fixing it, but it's definately worth a shot.

I've still got some 3M DI-Noc Cf in black not much mind, and if used witht he adhesive accellerator it can (by all accounts) be sprayed with clear laquer (rattle can stuff) so you do get a "clearcoat" on it.

If you're really worried, resin fixings and stud bar into solid materials will take several hundred Kg's! Plasterboard is a nightmare to "hang" stuff on. If there's a gap between wall and board, its not a straightforward job, had this issue when mounting 25Kg active speakers in a club years ago, had to knock a hole in the board and go straigth onto the brick with a longer arm support.

Was that aimed at me? If so; done with a pinstriping brush.

Funny! The same weeki did thosei had a concerned old bloke run up to me in the carpark at ASDA to tell me i had a carrier bag wrapped around my brakes!

I love the look of neatly painted calipers, not just the usual boring red "looks like brembro" on ma corsa laaaa. Those look really nice with the contrasting vinyl against the black. These were the ones i did on my Celica, Foliatec White and Halfords red, lasted well, but the Foliatect does take a while to harden, but is a really strong colour and finish:

Welcome, good to see a few NW folks popping up

That is one quality thread. The guy has beed watching Fast & Furious as if it was a documentary. Plus some awesome quotes P3 #29 so far my favorite!

Ooooooh! handbags at 20 paces

buy a flashing resistor from maplins/RS some 1000 Ohm resistors. solder a resistor to one leg of the LED (doesn't mater which) then connect the LED into a 12v feed (will only work one way round) Kill switch, depends how adept at auto electronics you are, and quite how dead you want the car. The norm is a big hefty relay controlled via a switch disconnecting the coil. Other methods include isolating the battery feed to the keylock, fuel pump, and a few others

Fair enough, might be a possibility, CPC do a range of "install cables" and associated kits/blanking plates. Mainly aimed at the school/unit lecture theatre application but it would allow you to discreetly run a good quality long cable and have a firm plate to attach the origianl one to. Just a thought.

La Haine Awesome gritty and quite amusing black and white film of inner city French ghettos, actually very good. New Jersey Drive As above, in colour and in New Jersey, really good Ghetto film. Death Machine The tagline got me "Shark attack in a skyscraper" Stupid, funny B-Movie.

I did use some bought from the dreadded CPC, these were 3m if i recall, and did work ok, but a few of them did have massive signal quality issues. Not too sure if they make them any more, but Monster did some ok ones, again a bit pricey. failing that, maybe upgrade the video card to HDMI and buy a cable to go with.

Noooooo! they really don't last, but they are cheap! Just a note these are not 3M, only the adhesive is 3M. The absolute best undercar lighting has to be IceLed, this stuff is awesome (yes i do own a UFO kit, scanner and several other bits and bobs) This is true 2.1million colour capable, smooth colour changing, audio responsive, 12V, millitary grade components, Lexan tubes - which will withstand being run over at 30mph It is completely networked so each pixel is controlled individually by the ECU. Its a propper premuim product. But really expensive - oh and before i get accused of trading, no i don't sell them. but Litewave do.

Some extensions are not fully wired either, especially cheapo ones. Doubt you want to spend this much but one of the best VGA cables i have ever used (used to do installs in recording studios etc) was a VanDamme (not Jean Claude) Google VDC cables and you'll find them.

Possibly not the best sub forum to ask that in! There may well be a specialist company or two that does that kind of thing when you get seats re trimmed

Transfer and say you'll be looking to get the complete package of calls and BB, they should be happy to help. Means more money for them! Might be an install charge at the new place though, but you'd pay that either way.

Gen 6 BTW I'm guessing the throttle body has been checked and cable tension is ok (i.e not slack) I had an old Gen 4 that was an auto, it did really odd things on occasion, worked better for a transmission fluid change for some bizzare reason.

If you have to ask you can't afford it. But i'd still love to have one, loved that car since i was a kid!

Is it even making sounds like its trying to turn over?

Harvard, if they are in/out of an air brick they are most likely masonry bees, light yellowy brown or orange in colour. Leave them they'll not bother you. If its a nest there will be a few "sentry" bees hanging about at the entrance. Try to find your local bee-keepers association. They are adept at moving bees and may even re-home them into a nice hive and take them away. As mentioned the population is in severe decline due to verroaa parasite, and a new virus, we need to do everything we can to protect the population as they do most of the pollination of our crops. I hope that helps, (my folks used to "bee" beekeepers!)

I missed the last mascrat, and unfortunately can't make this one (hopefully next month) I heard about the illegal plate crackdown, lots of complaining over on JNW, but if you have an illegal plate be prepared to get done for it after all, just my 2p. It had just begun to start getting busy again, not by the old standards, lets hope this doesn't do maore damage to what used to be a great meet.
