Indeed sent him to bed with the breather howto see how clever he is on the spanners in the morning.Small hands too, perfect for working in the V6 engine bay.

If your allen keys are the 'Ball Driver' type with the little ball on the end, you can also use them instead.
Only if you want to save yourself 4 quid though. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Just replied to the other threads regarding the network coverage.
Vodaphone and O2 will both be ok as they run GSM900, but Orange runs GSM1800, a better network, but not compatible with the CCRT700.

Check system should be unaffected, the high level led brake light on facelifts is connected on the same circuit.Quote.....Will that not upset/confuse the brake check system?
As to the wiring, I have no idea whether there is a conector in the boot lid, it's possible, but if not, just run a wire to one of the existing brake lights.

Modify, Overcome, Adapt.

Yeah, had to tolerate a Focus for 2 years (she had a company lease car). Useless piece of junk - flat as break (despite being 1.6), handling was appalling, boot was tiny.And it was a Ford.

If it was factory installed you should be able to hook up the Nokia kit without any problems.QuoteMany omegas are 'prewired' for phone kits - there is a special plug taped up behind glovebox which connects to stereo. A cheap Nokia to this plug adapter is around £5 - £6, and makes it so easy. Oddly, mine had no mic fitted, so I had to fit one. Also, the cellular rood aerial is in drivers kick panel - a fair way from the prewired plug :-?
My car was supplied from the factory with a phone installed but was removed before I got it. The mic is still in place in the light unit so does that mean I only need to hook up a Nokia kit to the plug to be able to use the system? The only other option I have seen is the autoleads looms which you still need a phone kit for.
I picked up my wifes new Focus last night and it comes with a voice activated stereo and bluetooth phone system installed which allows you to tell the unit the number you want to dial, change radio stations and CD tracks just by talking to the unit. Makes the Omega look like an antique.

Also, the Focus may well allow you to talk to the stereo and have Bluetooth capability, but i know which car i'd rather be sitting in on a long journey, and it's not the Ford Focus my friend.

I have a Nokia 616 Bluetooth Hands Free Kit fitted to my Signum and its fantastic, I don't even have to take my phone out of my pocket, as soon as I start the car the bluetooth kicks in and transfers to the car kit. and I'm total hands freeKev doesn't think it's fantastic.
Since Jim acquired said car kit, he's never off the phone to me.
