Double din head unit part 1 installed today/last night. All working so far except I had to multitool the opening as it wasn't quite big enough. 😖 turns out I did a piss poor job. The lesson here is never attack your facia with power tools in the dark while waiting out side your daughters gymnastics class! Now to order a new facia and carefully widen the opening. 🤪. Up side i now have amazon music and youtube in my dash and it sounds awesome. I love being able to say "play disturbed" and then disturbed plays. Woohoo. Part 2 of the install will be dab+ box and fitting the gps.
Due to a terrordactile pooping on the Elgrand today I also had to wash it. 👍

Took the white Elgrand for a spin and just as I entered my village it conked out in front of a packed pub how embarrassing!!! :eek:
Managed to pull over but would then it would not restart how strange. Disconnected the throttle controller and restarted no problem fired up. Plugged it back in again and all good now, I wonder why this is happening... gunna chuck it on my diagnostics software at the weekend but I have no EMS light so chances are there will be no error codes!

What crap luck,did they laugh?i remember coming out of santa pod in renault5 years ago showing off...massive wheelspin outside pub,sheared driveshaft to much applause😂😁😂😢😢
 
I liked having the CD player till I got bored with my cds. It took about 2 weeks haha. An old friend of mine had a habit of breaking his car showing off. The ominous phrase of " watch this!" I assume he did mean watch me break my car but............

Sincerely hope that it's not serious!
 
Got back from a weekend away in ours tonight. Travels so well.
Needs rear shocks for sure lol. Must get a pair. Bought one of those fm/bluetooth adapters you plug into the ciggie socket so we could have some music.That does work well. I will eventually get a proper headunit though.
 
Stripped the lense of my new led afterburner lights which I got from Chris Wills as it had a star crack in it and replaced with a new one..
Will post pics later as too big to upload on phone.
p s......a big thanks to Chris too for guiding me how to pull the lense off 😉👍
 
Today my log book finally arrived at the dealers so spent 20 mins on phone for insurance. Got quote in the end for 590 which I am pleased with for first time insurance on newly UK registered vehicle. Can't wait to fly to Exeter now on Thursday to collect her!

Oh hell, we don't even have the car on the drive yet and every pic I have seen tonight I am thinking "Sheeeeeeesh I love that, want this, have to have those"
I'm thinking I may as well have bought a Veyron with the money we will probably spend on this flipping Elgrand :joy:
