:huh: The standard headlights on the old model gal [with glass lenses] suck :o :( There was quite an involved thread about it some time ago, perhaps if you search for "headlights" ? :(

Thanks GSM, I'll try that one later. It seems very strange that we now have to get another website involved to something to our own forum I put it down to my security settings on SP2 at first

:lol: nice, how did you manage to upload the picture? I have been unable to upload a file here for about a month :lol:

"The lid on the master cylinder was removed whilst this was being done." :lol: I'd Imagine the resevoir is vented anyway? :lol:

:blink: Thanks to all the guys that explained how to access and replace the brake light switch B) :huh: I recalled several cuss words that I'd forgotten years ago as I almost gave up trying to twist the new (single) switch back in :huh: It was only the thought of the immense shame I would feel if I had to take it to a garage to finsh a job that I had started that persuaded me to persevere I finally managed it after using a pair of pipe grips to flex the plastic "retaining springs" that hold it in place

:lol: Take it back tomorrow :lol: He's telling you a load of bowlacks :o My auto behaves exactly the same regardless of outside temperature. In my opinion you should not retain the car, but if you do,GET A PARTS AND LABOUR WARRANTY OFF THE DEALER AS PART OF THE DEAL

I Find demisting windows is a lot quicker by opening the rear window vents I'm no aerodynamisist :D or wossit called :D but this seems to vastly improve the throughflow of air along the inside of the side windows :) of course this is easy peasy for ghia drivers wot av lecky ones :D Welcome to the lofty heights

;) You dont wash your wheels while they're still hot? :angry:

:( I've just had a pair of stunner torneo's fitted, cost

:rolleyes:

B) RESULT ! :o :) The guy who sold me the player sourced a switchable interface to divert the autochanger input to the head unit...the rest is too technerkil for me :lol: :( The autochanger has to be "playing" silently to allow my dvd player to play via the car speakers :) :o The device also allows another auxilliary to be added to it,making 3 A/V choices through the 3 way switch B) Apparantly it would'nt work for my mate,because he doesnt have an autochanger,perhaps it is powered through said changer?

:( Thanks guys, A friend of mine has a similar problem,he dont got an autochanger,so guess who's gonna try Dally's suggestion first? :) Incidently,I have again tried to upload jpeg's to my post witout success,should I be allowing something with sp2 security settings?

:D MATT,I have found reference to connecting to a dolby AC3 amp,it has a digital out earphone socket,that is also referred to as an optical fibre cable, and an AV out,which is where the fm modulator is plugged in at the moment. :lol: :blink: Yip I have a 6 cd auto-changer in the rear armrest :D It sounds like this is leading to good news :o

:blink: does anyone know if its possible to modify a 6000cd unit to Play the audio part of a standalone DVD player? :o I have tried an FM modulator on all of its available frequencies,and to be blunt,It SUCKS :D There is so much atmospheric hissing there that I think the guys who make these devices must take heavy sedatives to sleep at night :lol:

:blink: Perhaps Ford main dealers could empty it if it was used prior to a service :lol: :lol: If it only gets used in an emergency would it qualify as a safety item? :(

Helicopters? :P Rotary wings old chap :o

:P Great, now I have double vision :o

and from my hobby (Flying RC Planes) :P Aw you fixed wingers :o

:huh: My last gal had this...it took ages - and the usual hour for the head auto electrician of our local dealership to discover that the previous owner had removed the fuse for the ignition feed to the radio :( It transpires that if a certain type of mobile is "combined" with the stereo,that a text message(I presume) could be left on the display screen of said stereo in the drivers absence for up to 1 hour after "he"? left the car...( :( too techy for a she :( )

B) I think the 5 spoke alloys fitted to the slighly older model are about the best looking "supplied as standard" wheel ford have ever used,and should have been retained,even though they're only 16" :(

;) I'm sure there must be a very good reason for you to feel she should learn to drive an auto, rather than a manual? ;)

B)OK I'll bite----------- I expect this'll be on a 63 vauxhall viva then? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o ;) ;)

;) This isn't a statement, it's a question:do the rear pads have sensors? :angry:

:lol: Aha,you like many of us bought aftermarket pads? to fit gals with 16" wheels? :o The aftermarket guys aint got the right ones for the year 2002 minor facelifted models,and generally wont have pattern parts untill a car comes out of the manufacturers warranty period. I got mine from ford @

;) I hear what you're all saying :( :D But If I was in a buisiness that sold aftermarket stereo's for example, or "Daves-mart" I too would try to increase my chances of clearing a slow moving Item like this that is no longer required by the person that fitted a non ford "upgrade" :lol: search this forum to see how many might be set to one side :lol: You ought to bear in mind that some people are addicted to baybuying, and frequently get sucked into paying way over the top just to "win" the auction :lol: :D And also,please bear in mind that this could be a perfectly legitimate car audio specialist clearing out their part exchanges?....just like hewlett packard sell "refurbished PC's :(
