Just been down to my local R.A.M Audio and they quoted £575 plus fitting for this... don't think so when I've seen them on t'internet for around the £380 mark!! He did answer my main two queries though; Will it work with the factory bluetooth / steering wheel controls - Yes Will it work with the factory Nav / voice Guide - yes Now just working out whether I can justify putting my hand in my pocket so close to Xmas ...but in the meantime if, say, you fancied mapping out the installation process as you go along... that would be really useful...?

Hi, and... Nice lineup, don't see many of those GP's!

OOOH me likey...

Great to meet everyone, short lived as my visit was... I'll be sure to put in a better effort for future meets (hungover & lots of work to do ) Some Awesome cars there today

+1 the skipping on my Bose drives me nuts (seems more when the car's cold?). Having looked around I really like this unit, planning to get one eventually so i'll be interested to see how you get on / if there's any way the steering wheel controls are still functional? I've never installed an aftermarket head unit myself before, so needs to be fairly simple for me!

Dear god. That's two wheels welded together, right?

Weekend i.e. 17th & 18th for me

That looks spot on mate and d'ya know I very nearly bought that too, but the almost £10 difference swung me this time round... out ont pi$$ this weekend, much needed beer money

I'm already thinking.. windows... PVC doors... My mate when he's not looking... The CAT!

Cheers bud - I've gone and taken the plunge and bought the same one from cleanyourcar.co.uk, along with the Valet Pro PH Neutral Snow Foam, gonna be a laugh with that this weekend Thanks to all for the advice

Awesome, cheers for that - that looks just what I'm looking for Weather / hangover dependent, may be having a bash at detailing my mates S3 this weekend, if all goes to plan I'll post some pics of how we get on

Cheers for the tip Sarah - will check out i4detailing, lance on there looks good

Repost from an hour ago, but think the subject was a little misleading so reposting as a clear 'question'... I've managed to get my hands on a Karcher 401 pressure washer courtesy of my dad, having been sat in the garage for years unused... however the shampoo suction pipe doesn't work, which isn't a problem as I'm wanting a foam lance anyway. So... can anyone advise the best lance / shampoo combination to get to fit a Karcher, for full-on shaving foam stylee foam? And is this OK running from my outside cold water tap, or should I tap the hot water..? Cheers in advance!

Bloody 'ell he must drift it to work every day!

Hi Driving really steady on long journeys, motorway etc. I think a safe bet is around 28mpg. I do a mix of motorway & B roads, and I got a bit of a heavy foot but i still manage 23-24mpg as an average

Hehe yeah, I lean the passenger seat forward and feed it through from there, JUST fits. OMG I'm sad...

I just about manage to get a my 158 in, it's a squeuze though! There is a well honed technique, it's getting the bindings under the strut brace! Yeah I reckon an Xcape meet could be on the cards too

That's where I go too, I see them

... I had the same trouble a couple of weeks back, but daren't post on here through fear of being laughed at! I just swore at it quite a lot, and eventually worked out the clip underneath, and a bit of brute force

Where bouts in Wakey are ya? Saw a blade silver one parked down the street next to Argos the other day... don't s'pose it was you?

Just got mine from Opie and you'll bag a nice 10% discount for being a member here... I'd go for the Silkolene Pro S 5w40, good high performance engine oil

Feb 09 and the discs are out of date!? Shocking! Hmm in that case wonder if that could be argued with the dealer, I imagine if you look at the discs it'll tell you the year they're from? I'm not sure how often update discs are issued, or even if there is a more up to date one, but when I've looked myself and through experience with my old Pioneer one - they're not cheap! Begs the question... if there are newer ones, will a copied disc work? And does anyone on here have one to copy you? Anyway good luck mate , I myself can't be @rsed with it as I don't use it too often

haha +1 driving down the new bypass to Asda / Xscape Wednesday night, apparently I was driving through a field..

I'm not sure bout the rest of the country, but certainly round me houses seem to have gone as far down as they're going and on the up a bit. Particularly with the government shared equity schemes available, developers are not as inclined to drop prices on new builds, as buyers can just purchase on a 75/25 deal. Mate of mine has just bought one with his girlfriend, £180k for a 4 bed semi with garage, brand new 3 tier townhouse, really nice. Great for a first time buying couple, the shared equity means at 24 you've got a house you can plan a family in and not have the need to upgrade to anywhere bigger. Personally though, I wouldn't go for it, I'd rather live within my means i.e. as higher mortgage as I can comfortably afford myself having put down a 10% mortgage - that way you get the best out of the equity you put in and all the profit of course is yours! I'm just hoping rates are low next year, as my 5yr fixed rate runs out!

... oh and BTW and re your motor with the 19s etc...
