Came as a shock. There’s something ironic about racing drivers and snow! Very sad news and a big miss to car fans.

That’s different! Never seen that approach before.

That’s the type of camera I was thinking about👍

I purchased a ew Pioneer for my son for Christmas. Part of the purchase included a free reversing camera so I thought brilliant. We are about to carry out the installation of the HU and camera but I do not think the camera is going to be easy to fit due to the type of fitting. It is a cube type with an external bracket. can anyone recommend a camera that they have fitted and any photos would be helpful. I’d rather purchase a camera that I know will fit and put the freebie on eBay.

I do not know the answer to that but the bits I’ve read and YT vids suggest you can but not with an amplified aerial as it filters out the high frequencies DAB operates on but you do then need a splitter. I’m sure someone will come along with more knowledge on the subject than me.

I contacted Incartec and they supplied a full list of items required for the install to maintain the steering wheel controls etc. I am now thinking of putting a revering camera on the car at the same time. I do not like the look of the Pioneer camera as it looks too after market. I would prefer something that looks more OEM if you know what I mean. Does anyone have any recommendations and possibly a photo showing the camera installed. On yet another note going back to the aerial. If I am running a cable to the rear of the car could I run a coaxial cable directly to the aerial on the rear wing bypassing the amplifier and then fit a splitter so I could use the original aerial for both DAB and FM reception? I would of thought one of you guys would have tried this😁

Hello, just after a little advice. I am thinking of purchasing the above head unit but I am a little confused about the facia surround and harness required for the steering controls. I’ve been on different websites and I am not sure if there is a difference between the earlier and HR models. It is a base model without the Bose upgrade but I do not think that would make a difference regarding the wiring adapters for the controls. Any links to the correct parts would be fully appreciated. Also what’s the best solution regarding the DAB aerial?

Glad it’s all sorted. I was lost for a while!

Well one he deserved. Not like last year the cheating gits!😡

I checked it out and it seems a decent bit of kit. I’m sure others members on here will have it to comment or will have something similar.

i got this cover as part of the deal when I got the car earlier in the year. Have not used it yet and it is not for sale but you can use the info from the photo to google it

Has the car had a past windscreen replacement and it is a protective rubber pad for transporting the screen that has been left on. My concern is that it is keeping the rubber off the screen that will then allow water to pass. I would take it out. It certainly does not look right.

Sounds like you have found a decent place. Let me know how you get on. The W brace was replaced on my car just before it was purchased but not sure about the kidney brackets although it had just past its test. it would be a good idea for you to replace them and then get a coating on them. 👍

Cheers. It’s not that far to go if I wanted it going and like someone said being a 4x4 place they may have a little more expertise on rust protection. Let me know how you get on 👍.

Excellent I love it. Russell is definitely showing Hamilton have to drive a Mercedes this year!

Stagshaw was the other company I was thinking of. I live near Darlington so that would probably be my preference but it is my sons car so would have to talk him into getting it done. I have mentioned it to him to get it done at the back end of the year once he has had his fun over summer. where about in the region are you from? There does not appear to be many members in this neck of the woods.

Yeah my thoughts is to stick with the DMF for the same reasons.

I come from the North East and have briefly looked into this as am thinking of doing the same come winter time when the car in not in use. Autospray in Darlington do Dinitrol and there was a 4x4 place up past Newcastle somewhere but I can not remember their name. A quick Google search came up with both companies and the Dinitrol website. Let me know how you get on.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I am currently in the same boat as you with a clutch that may require replacement. The ‘Z’ (HR model) is my sons car that he has owned for a couple of months and has said a couple of times the pedal does not feel right when it comes back up. I have enquired with a couple of people on here and some say to change the DMF with the clutch and some say don’t. I would prefer to fit another DMF but some people also say to go with a SMF to keep the costs down. The key it to fit an upgraded CSC at the very least. Let me know how you get on.

Looks nice. Any previous with a Z?

An F1 purist cannot agree will the yee haa American bull***t of yesterday. Billy T Ribbs was a joke ‘baby’ and the police escort to the podium was way OTT. Then to wear a football helmet in the podium just confirmed to me that in America F1 is just entertainment.

Thanks for your comments. I have been looking at past posts on this subject and I am thinking of going down the DAB splitter route. A little research says that I need to remove the aerial amplifier from the circuit as this filters out the high frequencies that DAB use then the splitter can pick all frequencies and connect to the rear of the HU.

I am looking at replacing the original HU (non-Bose) and I am wondering what you guys have done about a DAB aerial. I know there are ones that can be mounted to the windscreen what do these look like and what is the reception like? Does anybody know of a solution to either retain the original aerial using a DAB splitter of replace the aerial itself with a DAB unit. A quick google search has not gone well trying to find a replacement DAB aerial that will mount on the rear panel. Has anyone gone as far as mounting a roof aerial and removing the original aerial altogether? Any comments would be appreciated.👍

Thanks guys. I found JM Imports on the web but have not seen the other one. I also was told about Falcon Performance in Middlesbrough if anyone knows anything about them.

As the title say really. I am looking for a place to get the Zed serviced locally. Had a quick search on Google but not really giving any results. I was thinking about about the major side of things like clutch replacement etc.
