Who can tell me what I need to know about my new purchase?



It's a 2000 GLS 2.5 V6 manual (are manuals rare, I thought they were but now not so sure?) in a nice green? I believe it's a mini facelift?

How do I get the climate into centigrade rather than farenheit (sp?)?
Does the GLS have rear speakers? Must admit I've not taken the door cards off yet to check but no sound from the rear currently.
Is retro-fitting trip computer possible as I miss knowing my approximate MPG?

Now I know this may be controversial for this website but does anyone take theirs to drift days?

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

Its a (full) Facelift, manual GLS's aren't that rare, but autos are more common.

Need to check how to adjust climate, on facelift its user changeable, have a feeling its press and hold drivers side button.


Some drift them.  Probably not the ideal drift car, but is RWD.

And should have speakers in lower part of rear door.

Only Elites have speakers on rear shelf

P127 of user manual, press and hold Auto for 3s to flick climate between C and F

I never knew that. I suppose the old adage  (Please read the manual)

I knew it,,but had forgotten it,,very old age

Cheers for that TheBoy, it only came with one manual and it didn't dawn on me to look in there!

Fear not, I won't be drifting round any car parks, I'm 33 and also not worth risking my licence as a Professional Driver




Anyone selling an LSD?!!!......

LOL the you can make 11's round  any junction you come across

As for speakers, check the fader some peeps think sound should be in front and not behind

[McBandy]

Not sure if the welding idea is sarcasm or not 
I think I checked the fader, thought it was set more rear when I got it and adjusted it but when I twist it to rear it just goes quiet, do the rear speakers suffer issues - it's only covered 53k?

(are manuals rare, I thought they were but now not so sure?)

The Manuals are becoming very rare these days, mainly because people cant be bothered to read them.

Rear speakers usually fail when the bass is turned up to high

What radio have you?

[McBandy]

CDR2005 - have listened myself and they work but quietly, he only sings semi-professionally in his spare time so must be tone deaf!
