I hope it was cheap

I hope it was cheap

It was quite cheap at £1654.

I do all my own car maintenence and most of my bodywork so it is only going to cost me the parts and some of my time and the cost of the tracking.

How should the underfloor tray actually mount? I am hopefully going to a breakers yard tomorrow to try and get one and done want to get another that is broken

will the silver T3X cd-player/climate control thingy fit into the car as a plug and play upgrade (I am not sure if these cars are like Fords where there may be 2 specs of loom for 5 different models and x number of engine types)

The under carriage is mounted via metal threaded type screws and plastic clips.

WHats actually broken on your undercarriage?

The wiring is probably diffrent, rip the unit out and have a look on the back, not connectors and look at the breakers yard.

Hi,

Its the gearbox side, and where it fitted back up and wedged behind the bumper yesterday, it has worn to the point now where it is about 2 inches shorter than it should be.. So I had to cut it back - its still making a noise just nowhere neer as bad

gave it a Oil, filter and air filter change today and a new pair of wipers, pumped up the tyres and it has transformed the car - so much more power and smoother to drive, and it doesnt pull the the left as much (tracking is definately out as when the steering wheel is straight it steers left) and the steering feels lighter.

now to source a second hand undertray.

good luck with your new car
