Looks like it will be a good turn out

Here's our pet Parrot... Lucy

Unfortunately she has started plucking a bit but trying to get her out of the habit

Hey!

Just my 2p's worth.

I have a MG ZS 180 and a 350z DE engine. I love them both for different reasons.

The Nissan is a completely different animal to the MG and is such fun to drive. You will love a 350 - it's a great step up from the MG. I'm just attached to mine so I kept both

Hello John

 

Is it just normal entrance you would like or track as well?

 

The ticket booked through the club allows an extra passenger for free so not a problem there

 

Cheers,

 

Adam

Hi Adam,

Not bothered about the track time or anything. Just a stand pass and a passenger too

Cheers

John

Hi Guys,

Don't post here much but would like to book myself and a passenger in for this. Is there still room?

Cheers

John

 

We have the same car

 

haha yeah not far off!

 

B) B) Azure

looked great at the fast show! Good to meet you mate

So there has been a development... I have been able to eject a cd, pop it back in and have it play. None of the other buttons on the front actually work. I can't get the fm radio to come on etc, skip tracks etc. I can however skip tracks and adjust volume via the steering wheel controls...

Sounds like the control panel on the radio has died...

Here's my Azure

Just set a budget what you are willing to spend and then list things that are must have features, like Bluetooth etc, and filter out what would be garnish, pretty sure you'll find what you need.

 

Also look for clearance deals, like this one

Under £190, prolly cos a newer model is out

yeah i'll have a mooch.

if any one has any bright ideas to save me some cash and magic my original one back in to action please shout

Well i've checked the fuses under the bonnet and also the set near the pedals and the audio and radio ones are fine and haven't blown... looks like i'm going shopping...

Ahh! I'll check the fuses then :-)

Really! That's a a bit harsh isn't it! Unless anyone else knows of a fix I need to go shopping by the sounds of it...

Not heard of this before, go buy a decent head unit, our "Bose" systems are a bit crappy.

 

I was afraid this may be the case... :-(

 

Thing is i have the birdview sat nav and i also have the bluetooth and i don't want to loose the audio side of all that and also the steering wheel controls.

 

I know there are adapters for the steering wheel side of things but am i able to get the blue tooth and sat nav audio to work as it does now with a new head unit?

 

I had birdview and bluetooth in my old 50 with a double din unit.

 

The bluetooth won't work but the new system will more than likely come with bluetooth anyway. Audio/steering wheel controls still work too....just need an ISO cable

 

I don't want to spend a fortune on a headunit if i can help it... any thoughts/recommendations on a new one?

This is what I had...its a £600 system thats a few years old so half the price

Looks like a great system but not sure I want to pay that much.

I don't want to double up on the sat nav systems either really.

If mine isn't fixable I wonder if anyone has a OEM head unit kicking around for a 54 plate zed?

welcome

Honestly have no idea about the sat nav, but pretty much all aftermarket head units have Bluetooth built in, so that's not a factor. Hopefully someone will along soon with a fix that will save you all the hassle, not to mention money

Yeah fingers crossed on that one. I have mooched about head units before but never really got round to buying or investigating more.

Hi Guys,

I am hoping you will be able to me. I have tried searching the forum but I haven't been able to find any info..

My car has been stood for a month or so and the battery had gone flat. After jumping it of last night it seems the head unit doesn't want to work.

If I try to turn it on by pressing the power buttion (the volume control knob) the back light comes on but nothing else happens - nothing on the display and no sound. The same also happens if I press the eject or load cd buttons - press them one the back light comes on, press them again and the back light goes off...

Is there anything I can do to get the bose head unit back into action? A reset maybe? Or is it dead?

Thanks in advance

John

Hi Guys,

sorry I am late to the party with this - again!

Been away with work and not had chance to organise. Sounds like someone has taken the lead and gone ahead though which is great.

I hope to make it but I've been asked to a wedding quite last minute on the Saturday so i'll see what state i'm in.

Thanks for organising

John

Looking good and clean. Spacers next?

i'm not so sure on spacers to be honest - just don't like the idea of them...

thanks for the comments guys

You guys are lucky, I'll be paying near 4000. Obviously because of my age but still and lack of no claims (only 1) it's crazy!

 

I can get insured on a 4.2 Range Rover Sport Supercharged for 3k which makes no sense!

£4000 FOR INSURANCE!!! you must be nuts!

What cleaning products did you use?

 

 

And black is fastest, but blue is best

Meguire's Shampoo for the wash, dry with some microfiber towels and then a polish with some Autoglym super resin stuff. I used a machine to polish it in too which always seems to help me get a better finish.

By far not the best way to wash a car but probably not the worst either
