Cheers...Rich A fused feed from the main +ve on the amp direct to the battery and the stereo itself should have a remote feed which also goes to a seperate +ve on the amp (will be indicated on the amp) so when you turn ...

Re: Bigger rad
My 2.8i used to have the biggest heat hazes coming from under the bonnet and wings in traffic, yet it never went pop. It waited until i had it mate, it turned out it had a slight coolant leak that dripped straight onto the exhaust manifold causing the "steam" you told me about. One day it...

Re: Never out in the rain or Daylight hopefully
Yeah its mine and unfortunately due to time and space i've got to let it go. :crying: As you say, each to their own, but in 24hrs its had over 1200 views and currently got over 100 people watching it. If i had more than just a standard issue council garage to keep it in i wouldn't be selling. :(

Re: anyone know about stereos?
:agree: Depending on the head unit you'll be running will depend on how you wire the speakers..... If the head unit has 3 sets of Pre-outs, one of them will be specifically for a sub, if thats the case you'd be better off going for a "monoblock" amp, basically it ONLY has the outputs to ru...

Started life as a 1600Gt Pre-facelift in gold, was taken from the production line as a bare shell and had t...

Re: So Germany beat England again...
Capelo has had a lot of stick cos of the teams failure to succeed but at the end of the day he was on the sideline and not on the pitch wearing 11 pairs of boots. Yes there is a lot of speculation that they should sack him and get an english manager for an english team (Harry Redknapp??) but consid...
