Cheers Pau1, just got to sell the 16v so I can get it on the road now, had it insured for 3 days and done 500 miles and now its going to be torture :mad:

 

 

Anyone know what this is? It was wired up in the boot, at first I thought it was an aerial booster but I still get reception with the wires out.

Is it not just an old GSM mobile phone amplifier?

Have you got holes on the passenger side of your centre console where a phone cradle has been?

It wont work M8, there is a filter in the lamp :(

 

The CC of Canada has a guide on how to remove it/change the colour.

 

I tried it on my old ones.

 

You would have to have large balls to try that one, i can tell ya!!!! :shock:

[Joe M 0]
