Morning guys. Bought myself an RCD510 unit to swap for my RCD310. Fitted it this morning and everything works apart from aux? I've looked through the setup and it has "activate aux input" which is ticket but still nothing? Here's some pics to show you what I've got... Any help will be appr...

So it's been a while, got a few updates. First of all I've installed Red LED footwell lights. Wired them in so they come on with my headlights and I've added a switch so I can turn them off if I get sick of them. (I'll upload an interior pic once I get a good one) Also got myself some Rota Grids. Co...

Yes you could do that. My advice is to take the blue/grey wire in the rotary light switch connector. Be aware that dimming is perfectly do-able with halogen. But some LEDs are not capable of dimming. Instead of dimming they start to flicker. So the plus comes from the light switch, grey/blue The ma...

As far as initial quality is concerned, I've always found that Mintex looked and felt like they had been thrown together in a shed...

That's my plan yeah! Just looking at some Brembo grooved discs and pads on eBay at the moment...

So I've started a couple of threads on here now and this one is something I really couldn't find anything on! Brakes!! What discs and pads are you running? What upgrades have you done? And what would you recommend!! Currently I have upgraded my front brakes to 312mm from an Audi TT. Bosch discs and ...

A guy were I used to work had a TVR Chimera and a big BMW bike for fun/summer, a 4WD BMW 3 Series for longer trips, and to run back and forth to work which was about 45 miles each way per day he bought new, a Fiat Grande Punto Diesel - which runs for ever, cost very little new and is just a work to...
