Post by: j8ekt on April 22, 2011, 05:53:27 pm: It's pretty low spec winter pack and iPod dock and it's a manual that's about it , but every thing else can be fitted in time and being a mechanic there's no labour costs and with the help of this site for the excellent information hopefully shouldn't have too much trouble

Post by: Frodo-anni on April 22, 2011, 09:38:17 pm: :congrats: Congrats, looks very nice.

Seems strange now that CW demands a premium over the other colours when new it didnt cost any extra.

I also thought that winter pack was in connection with xenons, i guess not.

had a quick play doing the usual stuff quick code read all ok apart from headlamp washer relay showing open or short to ground ,which turned out to be a blown fuse
also turned off Seat Belt warning chime , adjusted remote locking from unlocking only drivers door to all and turned on auto/ anti-hijack locking

Still learning how to use it but anyone in the Hull area needs anything doing drop me a PM and I'll be happy to help if I can
