Engine swap if you love the cab.....harder part finding someone to do the work I'd say.

Tbh you get quite limited info off the B4, does lite give you a list of installed modules? Don't just rely on it by type run a scan for them

I usually wait for may....so I can use up to end of october..so have a while yet still boo Sad

mostly was wondering if there was a need to wait before drive etc. Looking at the weather right now she ...

Anyone put their car back on the road after being SORN'd since we lost the tax disc?? Was wondering if you still had to wait at all or is it now ok to tax and drive right away?

I just pulled the light from the cluster. Permanent fix to stop it flashing, and doesn't stop the airbag itself from functioning.

Maplins....12v grain of wheat bulbs....they're a few pence.

Dead easy if you can work an iron, I've done 3 now....and tbh I just put the bulbs back as the led was a bit too red

Retro fit cruise?

Afaik yep......not seen anything to suggest its not???

I know....but there's almost not 'traffic' over there....so replies are even slower lol....I'm sure many here are also AOC members...

Sounds like one of the door swiches isn't working, that would stop the lights and alarm working. If it was just the alarm I'd pick on the bonnet one, but don't think that operates the lights.

There's also 2 little clips in the door ones right at the front ends that need to be removed if they haven't fallen away too.

Ooo really.....did you ever contact ross-tech? I know there was one type of hitachi ecu that causes a few issues

Hmm, well I only use the dealer for mot after problems with a well known chain and having to call in the inspectors....so for me yup they would spot them in a second and act...lol I get a fail then pa ...
