Welcome to OOF
On Saturday I replaced all the scanky sticky door handle trims.
Need to work out how to restore that bit of leather next. Any ideas chaps?
I manually changed the clock today in my fancy premium brand 5 Series BMW.
To date my humble Vauxhall Omega is the only car I've ever owned that has altered the time itself when the clocks go back/forward.
No me either, fitting kit with B4's were fine with the sets I bought (fitted full sets to three or four Omegas IIRC). Rears on black car are weeping now, but with the age, mileage and style of driving i'd say it's fair enough.Don't recall any fitting issues with either fronts or saloon rears.I found Bilstein B4's lasted well on mine (>100k and I think scrapped with them still on) as well, but I got them at a sensible price. B4 is supposedly similar to factory spec, though I've heard some say they felt hard (probably because the old shocks they took off were utterly fubar)The Sachs ones are the factory fit shocks, Bilsteins are an equivalent at best. And their supplied fittings are dire compared to the Sachs ones which are indistinguishable from the genuine VX parts in my experience.
I only mention them because they lasted so much longer than the ones from the dealer, for similar price
Stick the spare wheel on the boot lid like the old Rover 2000/2200/3500.
If I had a boot lid...
Spotted this and as I don't very often have passengers in the back it could live in the rear footwell behind the front passenger seat.
Something to ponder.... Although I carry a can of puncture goo and a compressor, I don't really like the idea of not having a spare.
One of mine is the same. I just set the time right and left the date.Want to try a firmware flash, next time you're passing, see if it resolves it?
Give me plenty of notice, as chrisgixer has my Tech2 I think. Either that, or I've put it somewhere safe, lol.
Mind you, I still have the ornament one as well - but that'd involve fitting a battery and seeing what the NCDC does in that!
Check carefully as most sparks cannot install chargers (requires C&G 2921 or equivalent, and some specialist test kit) and many of the charger suppliers require a certificate to enable the smart capabilities and warranty on them
He is fully authorised and mentioned how they now check every single install. He stopped doing them for a while, because they kept changing the rules.
Other option is getting it via Octopus, I need to check actually if they allow another company to do it.
Does it not sort itself out if you stick it on Radio 2
To be fair, at least stuff here gets delivered within a week. Sellers in the States can't guarantee to get something three states over by a given dateFair play to them, one of the orders this week arrived exactly as expected.i try to avoid Ebay if i possibly can.
Get TB to do it for you. He is a big fan. Loves the place.
The other 2 are late, because despite ordering on Sunday, they were only given to the courier late yesterday. Fast and Free my arse!
