How do I remove the BOSE unit from dash - Done it yippee!!!
stanski replied to stanski's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
Oi!! Cheeky! Plenty of balls just keep dropping them at the moment!! No had a chat with mechanic and he effectively described the same process more or less as the earlier dash - so will give it a try tonight when I get home - will take lots of pics just in case Damn thing is annoying me !! -
Maybe they moved it to another branch - they always do that sort of thing? Be a good bargain for someone then?
-
Ok boss did'nt know the procedure - will see if I can pop round there and see whats what

My Internet Explorer icon has renamed itself!
stanski replied to Trev-the-Rev's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Trev I would run a virus scan on your hard drive just in case mate - does'nt sound too clever - they dont change by them selves!! But yes delete , delete from recylce bin and create a new one? -
Dunno if they have Chavs in Japan but like everything else I am sure they will be exported over there also!!! Digsy - yes your motor was still there the previous week right on the front but has gone now - maybe they moved it to another branch or just sold it! Lets see how they practice on my car next time its in for a service - think I may take Mikes advice and try the other place further up the road
-
Thought I would pop this on here - used them years ago but will be buying some cleaning stuff soon. (They are actually just up the road from me!) http://www.astralcsl.com/browse.do Have a peep they do proper trade stuff - usually better than aftermarket - some of the prices have gone off their website - the Astral Glaze for example is £25 for a pack and is the equivalent to Diamonbrite etc just to give you an idea. I suppose if there is anything there the club may want, maybe the Mods could work their bulk buy or club discount magic!
-
Try this company they are for the trade but I think you can buy from them - give them a call I have used some of their products years ago and were excellent and price is good Think this is the equivalent to the diamond brite / sureguard type stuff? http://www.astralcsl.com/product.do?product=38238 Best to check with them first - they have taaken the prices off the website but your looking at £25 just shows you how much we all get ripped off !!! Check out the other products btw.... hope this helps

Hi - Can you take some pictures and post them up please so we can see the extent of the damage? Sometimes you can polish out scratches on inside surfices and sometimes you can only mask them with stuff like - yes - shoe polish but lets wait for the pictures? I know what you mean about it annoying you my radio was refitted incorrectly its only 1 mm in and not flush but its bugging me just need to suss out how to take it out (slightly different to pre '06 cars?) without wrecking the dash!

Incredible IPhone/Ipod Touch App for the petrolheads
stanski replied to GIXXERUK's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Looks interesting I must say? I did actually have a proper dabble with the new Iphone last week in the Trauma Centre - I must say after my initial interest I am a little dissapointed at how slow some of the applications were? Even selecting a basic task and the timer is whurring away but maybe thats cause I see that all day at work so - lets see if anyone gives this fancy software a go! -
Found the links I wanted for you Unlce Mart www.mycanvasprints.co.uk for canvasses - compare the price you paid not sure if cheaper? Anyway go for it - any muppet can operate a camera they are so easy these days but she has a talent for spotting an interesting picture thats the difference and she should enter in competitions liek the digital camera mags £130 if they get a pic published - easy money for her or what! Its not the money its the fact that she has something published! DOh sorry just realised it she same canvass website - sorry...

In an effort to make one of my posts worthwhile.

Going to phone your missus in a mo to get those answers I think Mart!! Bit too high brow for me after 3 hours kip!! OR in fact any sleep!! £25.37 for your car? -
Oh all you closet geeks are appearing in the daylight on the forum!! If I told you all my erm coc* ups! I would need my own personal forum!!! But when I worked on Honeywell Mainframes (there old fart told you) I had to rewrite all the code for a certain high street insurance company to standardise it - so when it fell on its backside is had an auto recover point and also it would be easy to see where it failed so hopefully quickly to fix - well last step was an emergency procedure for restoring the whole program back to before it ran just in case. Took me 12 months to do the whole companies programs - 1 program I had missed off a skip to the end step and well it ran for an hour (it was processing customer invoices) then promptly went to the emergency restore step at the end and restored everything back and the next job ran, rest of schedule finished that night - no one knew this had happend - no failures- the phones were ringing for a very long time the next day and took them a whole days manual paper processing to get everthing aligned again!! Does'nt sound like much these days but 800 branches countrywide .... I was popular then! Ah happy dayes Way I look at it - if you never make mistakes you never learn - I should be right up there with Einstein by now

yes car does feel a bit different - the head mechanic does rave about them in Oldham - he also knows the problems with them (that we all love and hate!) over all they really dont get any real problems with them - he agreed about the rubbish paint being too thin and soft though!! I checked the Night Blue demo on the forecourt again I cant beleive Nissan can let a car off a production line with a full shade out between front bumper and bonnet - come on Plastic primer and paint has been out for years now, we compared the same on a Navara and Xtrail in the car park they were the same the paint shade a mile out!! Really p**s poor in this day and age! Oh well at least I know my front bumper has'nt been resprayed - funny also the gap between boot and rear bumper is slightly offset to one side just like mine - are they employing Chavs on the production lines now!!

How do I remove the BOSE unit from dash - Done it yippee!!!
stanski replied to stanski's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
Thanks Guys - thats really useful - I am panicing now - !!! My dash is different - also it does'nt look like I need to remove the whole dash like yours as the panel is different on an 07! Hmm they have refitted it for me this morning - they have a demo on the forecourt and they were'nt sure that it fitted flush!!! Anyway its still not right I know I am being fussy but its still a couple of mil out and its going to annoy me - mad I know - so will have a go then later maybe do an updated guide for the later cars - see how heroic I am feeling!! Thanks folks -
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday Chris

Oooh a glimer of hope - looks like I can get to bed soon
-
Naa I'm at home on the lapentoppen - so only a short trip upstairs!
-
Thanks Bronzee but I am on the works LAN and I just saw some Carbabes reference so decided not to continue!!!
-
Sorry did a search for this but cant find it? Its the GT BOSE unit on '07 Bose unit not refitted correctly and its slightly recessed at the top into the dash - I figured out that the cubby above it - you remove the rubber mat and 2x plastic blanking plugs and I can see 2x retaining screws for the Unit inside - however what is the next step to remove - well actually just to move it forward so its set flush in the dash as before?
-
Lunch - I could just have a kebab now funnily enough!! Enjoy your lunch - pass the tea please?

Nice one Mart - well you know my opinion on her abilities - she has a genuine talent there and I am glad she is finally begining to see that. Good luck with it all. If she want to borrow one of my cameras to play with then she is welcome but that Lumix she has is top notch!
-
The money is ok but its taken me years to get there - but they want their piund of flesh and they always get a buy 1 get one free with me unfortunately - sorry in a grumble mode - as its now 02:37!! What time is it over there? Your probably just having breakfast!!
-
Ok its 01:29 and will be on yet another conference call in an hour - as the world is ending - factories are stopping soon - I keep reminding myself - it will pay for a set of Falkens
