Thanks A-J Will go down that route I think, Took my old one out the other day still looks brand new!!! No corrosion or damage really. Haven`t tried it out on he road yet but cant imagine I have fixed anything with just removong and refitting it :( . Cheers Stu

Cheers Might give that a try, does it look like the original? Trying to keep the car standard looking. 8) Stu

Hi all Having the typical crap reception, I have seen the replacement info which is great info and the price VAG charge for a new base :( . With this in mind I have checked Eurocarparts for a replacement, they do a beesting amped for £21. Does anyone have any experience or opinion on whether these are any good/same design etc??? Any advice would help. Thanks Stu

Hi, Trying to sign up but it wont let me at the moment. It comes up Error!!! saying too many open connections. Not great with computer jargon so will try again laters :D :D Looking forward to it though Cheers Stu

Definetly worth getting crossovers mate, they will direct the correct frequency to the correct speaker/tweeter. You can make them yourself, buy capacitors to cut certain frequencies out. I think there`s a basic DIY guide on matey matey website. I know Maplins at the top of Lothian Rd will have them. Should only cost a few quid 8) May have to buy a few different values and try them to get best results. :scratch: Hope this helps mate

Like Andi says, it sounds like a bad earth and/or your RCA`s running next to your power supply causing interference! You can buy an in-line loop surpressor that connects between the RCA`s and amp but they`re not gonna cure it just make it tolerable :( Spend a day re-routing cables and getting a good earth. Decent shielded RCA`s help prevent it too. Hope you get it sorted though mate. 8)

Like corradodude said, dont drop the screws when trying to put back in, the r/h side one was a wee bit trickier, but 10 mins from start to finish mate. Saves tearing the car to pieces too :D :D . Also on the older models there`s four screws hold the instrument shroud in, dont know about post 92 model though. Enjoy :D

Whilst looking for an annoying rattle behind the instrument cluster, i found the perfect hidig place for brick sized crossovers. There is two large areas once the instrument cluster is removed or placed to one side.Also the speaker original wiring passes by on the left which is handy!!! My huge MB Quarts are now hiding behind there :D :D . Hope this helps you all in future installs 8)

Oh that is not good! I thought it might be the start of problems with the alarm. :( I`ll put that on the shopping list along with Recaro`s, new chip and pulley etc etc. :lol: The rado is a never ending drip of dolla`s :D :D

Gutted for ya mate, Had that happen to me a while back, appreciate you keeping me in mind :) If anything changes my end will let you know mate.

g60greeny, I might be interested in taking the recaro`s off your hands in the future m8 if your still selling in a couple of months?I`ve got a mint standard cloth if you needed an interior in between, Need to save the penny`s at the mo as going on hols and car insurance soon :(

Coolrado, Cheers fella, you were spot on. :D Removed fuses and it went out! Put them back in alarm still fine just no indicating locked from the indicators, I can live with that.The rado has been delocked so need remote locking to work :)

Cheers Coolrado will have a look I`ve got the factory quantum alarm, The L/H flash fine when locking and unlocking and the right kinda dim slightly between flashes. Is it different relays for r/h and l/h in the alarm system? I`m having one of those mint credit card moments!!!! Some good Karma happens, I treat the Rado to some 17" OZ`s and a geometry set up it responds by going t*ts up on me :lol: The life of a Rado owner :?

Right guys, Popped out in the Rado, got out locked it, when I came back the R/H indicators are all on, no ignition on or stalk selected. I imagined it was a loose or knackered Relay.Tried pulling out all the relays and resetting them, did nothing they`re still on!!! :( When selecting the hazards now they all stay on and dont flash, again points me towards the Relay but that didn`t work . Pulled every fuse too, incase it was a short circuit from another supply, lights etc guess what still on!!!! Kinda run out of ideas now!!! Help needed ASAP!!! Thanks

Found the leak,all sorted now. was tracking down from the flexi connection in the engine bay :D Couldn`t see any holes or loose connection but I imagine it was expanding when pressurised and escaping, took a few second to develop. Latestarter have you checked all the fuel pipes around the pressure regulator? I noticed it smells stronger around the ISV when first started aswell but like you say it goes away when warm, Do you have the carbon cannister removed? Like was sayed before unless its tucked out the way it does cause a strong smell? Happy hunting mate? Any probs mate I`m just down the road near Burford. MAy not be able to offer loads of advice but can laugh at each others rado issues :D :D
