The 2000 was a nice size car for trips to Grandparents in Durham  and Aberdeen.

At some point we ended up with a Dolomite Sprint 1850 quite nippy

Dolly Sprint was 2 litre. Standard Dolomite was 1850, Skruntie.

My mate had a Triumph Toledo. I think it was a 1300, but maybe 1100. 

It leaked oil from the rocker cover and when we took it off we found someone had made a gasket with tin foil. 

Given Bose do not make automotive audio systems, and that the Bose system will be little more than an amp, maybe different speakers, and 'Bose approved' tuning file, you won't be missing much (they are also probably the worst of the badged systems out there).

I would be moving your existing solution over (assuming the speakers fit!), you should be pretty safe using the speaker level feeds

Might be more than you are willing to pay.....but.

Hi

Bought myself a 63 plate Audi A6 Allroad BiTd as a replacement for the CRV due to buying a heavier caravan.
Had my pants royally pulled down but fingers crossed and 3 grand later, things are looking better 

Right, a couple of questions if anybody can help ?

Firstly, when I bought it you could chose the ride Hight between 5 settings manually OR it would switch itself between 2 and 1 depending on speed.
1 - Dynamic (sat very low down)
2 - Comfort (normal day to day)
3 and 4 - higher still.
5 - Offroad ( about 6 inches higher then 2)

Short version - the cars gearbox packed up within 3 days and it took me 7 weeks of legal letters for them to pick it up and a further 3 1/2 months for them to supposingly fix it.

Since it came back, I have lost access to position 3 and 4.
Other then that, it drives fine.
It is a older version of the MMI if that makes sense.

Any idea's ?


2nd question ..........   As some may remember, I do love a great sounding sound system in my cars.
This car (been a bit poverty spec) doesn't have the Bose system fitted so no amp in the near side storage in the boot.
Currently it has speakers in all 4 doors and a sub alongside the spare wheel.
I've got some very nice Focal components and amp in the CRV which i'm looking to fit.

Are all speakers fed from the head unit in the dashboard or it they a poverty spec amp hidden somewhere I cant find I can confirm that the sub is fed by a 2 wire loom so would think it goes to the front.

Any help appreciated

The sales Directer had the 2500PI different league again.

My mate had a Triumph 2500 S and another mate had the 2000. Both were bought to banger race but were too good not to have some fun in first. We were going to Wycombe up the M40 when the lead car, the 2000, called us alongside to say that he was flat out and needed a push up the hill.
We dropped in behind him, closed the gap and were giving him a gentle push when there was a clunk. The angle of the lower half of the 2500 S chrome front bumper had ridden over the top of the tow ball of the 2000 and we were stuck. We both had to ease over to the hard shoulder in tandem so that we could stop and bounce it back off. Ah, the things we did in our youth and got away with. Total madness when I think about it now. 

Yep....I owned one. Bright yellow with Stag wheels as standard. Pretty sure my car had overdrive on 2nd, 3rd, and top gear, so 7 gears to play with. Sadly, there was no fuel injection just twin SU carbs so she barely made 100 BHP. Sounded great though and the closest I ever got to a TR6.

 They werent, but it had movement, ill loosen off and try again for next go.  Can't jiggle and fit the bolt at the same time, and its never the same with 2 

f3cking EGR bolts
Can I get the last bugger to line up not helped its at the top of the engine at the back, but done from underneath
so 18 inches of 3/8 ext, Universal joint, another 6 inch extension and then the E10

Are the other bolts still loose to give some jiggle room?
