Have a look in the parts for sale section. You're likely to find someone breaking with the part you need.
You will have to identify which type of display you have, as there are different versions.
Not much of a job really. You'll have to remove some air vents and a few screws to get the dash out. Haynes also mentions you have to remove the steering wheel to remove the dash but I managed to do mine without removing the wheel.

Are you sure yours is a 2.5 engine?

« on: 14 August 2009, 10:29:55 »
I fitted a second alarm to my car and wired the lock/unlock outputs of it into the central locking ecu (in particular the contacts from the driver's door). These also arm/disarm the immobiliser.
I have not modified the original alarm/immobiliser system and my second alarm works nicely alongside the factory fit, providing more immobiliser circuits and sensors.

Just fitted mine and they're certainly better.
Is there any point getting simliar uprated bulbs for the main beam?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Nightbreakers
« on: 16 March 2009, 20:22:09 »
I'm waiting for mine to arrive, but in the meantime has anyone got any pictures of one headlight with normal bulb, the other with a nightbreaker? Or, both with and both without?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / No sound out of Elite Bose and aftermarket HU
« on: 23 February 2009, 10:04:51 »
A friend at work has got a 2001 Elite estate with all the Bose amp and stuff but it has an aftermarket HU. It's all connected with no connectors left dangling at the back of the HU and adaptors are connected ok.
However there is no sound out of it even though the HU lights up and spins CDs ok.
I have suggested he look at the fuse on the amp but is there anything else that might be the cause?
Thanks

Yeah I knonw it's a lot of effort. It just caught my eye and got me thinking.
If anything I would blank off the handle.
I thought about a facelift boot but I don't like the lights; they're too angled and I prefer the rounder style pre facelift lights on mine now.

My key doesn't have a boot release button.
Sometimes it would be nice, like with the example of releasing it from inside while its pissing it down.
Also I might want to blank off the handle because it looks crap on mine. It doesn't have a badge and it's something of an eyesore when I look at the rear of the car.

Is this something I could retro fit to my pre-facelift?

Yes, behind the blank is the socket and wiring ready to go. I don't know about really low spec models but my CDX was ready to go.

Pleased to say my repair worked. Anyone else had this problem with the burnt tracks on the PCB?

Just checked the pcb of the controller on the blind. See pic. Circled area is blown track
Now I hope it's a one-time thing and my repair I am about to make will not be damaged too!
The damage is on the output to the blind side of the circuit, so having tested the blind directly I am hopeful I can get it working again.

Yeah thought so 
I'll be testing later...
I can't think why when the fuse is ok that there wouldn't be power at the socket in the boot.
I suppose the controller on the blind could be buggered... hope not though but even if it is it looks simple enough to fix (I hope)
