  1. Hi so I have a 55 plate and it was fitted with a parrot Bluetooth thing which I removed because I couldn't pair the thing . The remote didn't work. And the lights don't work on the radio.. after I removed it I plugged the leads back into the radio and now the HU lights up but the steering control still does not work.. like seek, volume and the call features " but this maybe because I don't have a BT module yet" there is a couple of wires not connected, Any help available for what wires to check for the steering controls? Thanks :-)

  2. Hi, my name is Ben

     

    Just got my first 350, love it.

     

    have taken a gamble with buying this one but I hope she is ok.

     

    Just doing the new caring owner thing and going over the car with a mag glass, so finding all the niggles that you dont spot on the test drive

     

    in the center glove box thing where some have the sat nav i have a lead with a funny connector , a stereo jack and a usb lead is this normal?

     

    the stereo units lights don't light up, and the lights on the steering wheel dont light up, on the right side of the wheel is the cruise control which all works fine,. on the left side you have the phone control but i cant test as no BT modual and some stereo controls but these don't work so is this a couple of leads that have been unplugged?

     

    there is a parrot device in the car but i will be removing this, so is it all likely to be linked (or unplugged) to the said problems to be addressed :0

     

    thanks

  3. Yea, I took a massive gable On the car is has NO service history at all the folder was lost the owner has a fleet of cars looked after by good garadge and they had told me all the work they done .. witch u have to take with a pinch of salt.. I read on here what to look for and spent van hour going over the car. New brake pads new premium tyres, clean car new belts you could tell it had love.. it must have service to a point. I done a full platinum car check all good here. As I'm mechanically minded and have all the tools "maybe no idea" I took a risk on it. So with this in mind I paid 5500 for it 80k miles. I've driven it from Southampton to Brighton then back to weymouth yesterday .. pulls like a stabbed rat no knocks or bangs.. it's not recommended at all to buy a car like this but sometimes a leap of faith.. I'll now get it in for a service and keep a history from now on... Any issues it's on me. I had limited budget it's the only way I got a black gt with orange interior.. I had a budget of 5k and would have been streching to go more.. colour makes a diff on price I'd b Lucky to get one like this under 7k. Hth

  4. I'd consider ginger.. I've just never liked that colour on any car ..

     

    There is a black one in Devon from on here but he's well stingey and won't nock 1500 off the price haha..

     

    But ultimately I want a black gt with orange interior
