Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Bulb type for MID?
« on: 02 October 2011, 13:25:07 »
at least i think it's an MID,  i get confused with GID,   sat nav NCDC2013 equipped,  3.2 MV6 2001,

one side of the thing is too dim,....  typically, the side that's actually got useful information on it.... 

 so, want to replace the bulbs i guess...

can anyone show me the right kind??

not seen Welung666 floating about ....   and wouldn't mind having a chat..... ....   about some work on the Mv6....   ;)

can;t find his mobile or email....     so if anyone has them, would they mind giving him mine , just PM me for them.... (fully understand that the habit is not to give out people's offline contacts , thus asking to pass on mine... ...)

just looking for ways to treat my Miggy....   having just been quoted £425+VAT for a CID (new) ,  thought i'd look and see what else there was ....     since i always did fancy a CID,  but don't really have the spare cash.... 

i also wondered where the brains of the trip computer functions were....   for example, whether it might be possible to self build something that could do the job a  CID without actually being an original ....   basically are the various MID, CID, displays just dumb screens??  with a sensible input that could potentially be converted ?  or are they integral parts of the trip computer and navigation system???  with processing and data on board... 

or even,  might it be possible to take the back end of a unit, and modify it with a different display component????

with regards to the NCDC 2013....    do units from other models, like veccy's actually fit the miggy as well??     my cd cartridge is still jammed.....   only been a year....     I missed out on a replacement unit a year ago when i disappeared (see public apology thread in chat, and for which i hope phil will forgive me one day....  i ended up unintentionally dicking him about ....   )

so i'm contemplating things ....   i don't much like the appearance of any of the budget after market units really...  ugly buggers shoved in to a converter plate , SO do not look like they "belong" ,  spoil the clean lines of the interior sort of thing....   and i actually like the sat nav system , just could use a clearer display....


thoughts anyone???

Omega General Help / rear suspension bushes....
« on: 29 September 2011, 17:22:38 »
being thorough,


can someone point me in the direction of all the parts that may as well be changed at the same time as springs and shocks,  and that are likely to be knackered , or even a little tired, on the rear of an 130K mileage estate that's been used for towing....

i know there's some donutty rubbery things under there, i just don;t know enough to be sure to order the right stuff....

General Car Chat / Parts query
« on: 27 September 2011, 22:21:04 »
Are all Miggy wishbones the same??   eg, no difference between pre and post facelift???


(found some allegedly original Vx ones for bugger all money.....  just want to be sure they'll fit before i cough up for them)

and am i correct in assuming that it makes most sense simply to get new drop links at the same time??

General Discussion Area / A Public Apology
« on: 27 September 2011, 17:30:30 »
I don't really know where to start....

so here goes.... 



I disappeared late last year...   in the midst of sorting out to buy things , transport things, and generally be "involved" in the forum....

I don't really want to go in to details, it was painful enough without reliving the minutiae ,  but suffice to say it involved a couple of  periods of hospitalization, and some resulting personal and business "issues" .

(and results in the likely prospect me being on prescription drugs for the rest of my days)


so, now i'm back, and stable-ish    i just wanted to say sorry.



the gorgeous 3.2 MV6 estate  is still alive and kicking.... just.....

I don;t read enough german to be confident ordering a whole new shebang from fleabay.de  where the prices seem far more reasonable.....   all i can find on uk is £275 ish NCDC2013's


i don;t mind spending a  fair bit, but £275 seems a bit steep for a 9 year  old car stereo  :-[   (okay i know , i know, it;s the sat nav as well....  )


so anyone got any sources for 2013/2015 units?????

i'd probably go £150 for something that was a known good un....


maybe i'm just dreaming and i'll have to shell out....

failing that,  just out of interest,  what's the likelihood of being able to retro fit my existing Elite's Carin and 2007???  and still have functionality??

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / telematics units on ebay
« on: 10 October 2010, 01:28:14 »
found several telematics units in germany, but i do not speak or read german......  so....  not really feeling like bidding on ebay for them.


looking to get an NCDC 2015 + telematics combo for my MV6.


anyone seen any in the UK?  or at least in English, ???

Omega General Help / where to get Wishbones, and rear estate shocks?
« on: 03 November 2010, 13:45:32 »
where's the most cost effective place to get Lemforder Wishbones (or GM ones?) and what rear shocks to fit if i'm going to abandon the Monroe Ride levelling system??   and where to get them?


(for those in the dark, it's for a 2001 Facelift 3.2 MV6 estate)

Omega General Help / parts compatibility questions
« on: 20 October 2010, 12:02:52 »
1)  The Auto Dimming  rear view mirror....   is it the same on Pre and Post facelift cars???   are they directly interchangeable??   or do i specifically need a facelift one to fit my MV6? 

2) boot floor load nets....  are saloon and estate versions the same ???    and what about pre/post facelift

3) What happens to an MV6 if you put shock absorbors on it that merely state 3.2 V6 estate, as their model target, as opposed to MV6 specifically.... ??     given that the MV6 is lower than the other models...  surely it ought to have shorter shock absorbors as well??
\
(background ...   mine is fitted with Monroe ride levellers...    with the little valve and gauge in the boot cubby hole driver side....     and it's a bit bouncy....   i suspect the shocks are knackered. and too long....    although with the pressure released the ride height seems correct...     but finding replacement model seems impossible...  online at any rate....      wondering about alternatives, or getting proper MV6 stuff, or swapping out the entire rear end for the elite self levelling, mated to Mv6 springs?   or what????
 i frequently carry fairly heavy loads in the back, piles of guitar amps and things... (valve amps are not light empty boxes....  )  or masses of tools (not car tools, studio building ones)
and when i say masses, i mean boot utterly filled with 2 large heavy wheeled tool boxes, and a dozen power tool cases.   )   and have always been fond of the way the elite managed it without changing it's attitude on the road....




4)   How much is involved in changing things like seats?  from an MV6 , and putting in Elite ones...   is it unbolt, unplug and go... ??  or does the Loom have stuff missing???     obviously there's at least one power feed as the MV6 seats are powered for height, and heated....  but what about the memory stuff ??   

5) TB's favoured nokia ck-7w  car kit for bluetooth.... anyone used it with iPhone, and LGKs360/365 successfully?? 
also, and this is a real stretch....   just wondering if that sort of thing could be modified to allow iPod connectivity into NCDC units???
