You mean you haven't left the country with my telematics then

Joking aside, thanks

I broke the kettle earlier. Bugger, and double bugger.

Oh well, I'll have to have a beer instead...   ...which is just as well, as Project Brackley Pub Crawl starts in approx 30 mins

  well, does Wales count? The telematics has proved to be invaluable when my phone died...it saved me a lot of hassle. As soon as you're able to, I'll bring it back over so you can have it back...although it is rather nice having it working 

[MaxV6]

cuppa in hand.....  but not calming down much....  however i aim to be totally clam and collected tomorrow.....       remind myself it's just a car, and it's not an elite.
 


but frankly i've been wanting to get a replacement since january....   and now i've reached the point of desperation....    


if i could wait another couple of weeks  i'd have more budget, and i have seen a sweet loking 2003 elite for £2795, but there's no way it'll be there by the time i get paid...  and i have trips to make befoe then that i simply don't trust my elite to survive....  at present....   

engine wise and drive train she's pretty good , but the exhaust is now a bent pile of rattles and knocks , and the exhaust manifold is hanging off , and she could really use new front discs.   and the suspension feels soggier than it ought to

the rest is largely cosmetic....

so bite the bullet time....  get another one,  bring the older one up to decently roadworthy nick, and either keep it for sentimental reasons, or move it on to a new appreciative owner....    probably only break even on the repairs....    but i'd rather see it loved and used than scrapped.

unless i win the lotto this weekend, in which case that lovely black thing at Josh's WILL be mine !!!

(even at the end of the ,month i'd still be a grand short on it  after i've paid all the bills, or i'd have simply bought that from him... SOMEONE's got to... it's gorgeous.... )

Yeah, TM is useful, ESP as it's a full power device, so normally picks up a signal, even on voda!

Must check if elite has the wiring, if so, I'll be on lookout for another

[Shimmy]

Rather than making another thread, I thought I'd ask here.

I have an '01 3.2 Elite with the Siemens NCDC 2015, when I bought the car it didn't come with any Nav discs. 

The only place that I've found where I can get a disc is here

Is there anywhere else I can get the disc cheaper, and possibly more up to date?

Also I've no experience with using on board nav systems, is this one any good?  Or should I not bother and just use my TomTom/google maps on the phone. 

Thanks

Very very unlikely!

I'm working on obtaining more Telematics...  Board swapping may be the subject of the next meet!

I think the D-Elite would benefit from an upgrade as well

I recently picked up a 2010 UK & ROI disc off ebay de.  The 2010 discs are only available as "complete sets" so the continental buyers sometimes sell the disks they don't require. You have to be patient, but one eventually comes up. I paid £27 for the disk I got including postage.

There is one on at the moment .. but at a silly price IMHO !!
