What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[diable]

Driving back from work noticed my N/S wiper blade starting to come apart, looks like I will be shopping for some over the weekend, does anyone know the lengths of the blades off the top of their heads. I will probably go for the BOSH areotwin style.

Silly reply but if you check the Trade Card requirements for Halfords you may be eligible for a Trade Card, as an ex Electrician I was and 20% helps and in this day and age every £ is a prisoner.

Thank you, but I already have one if I didn't have one I would use halfraudes.

Are they to replace your door speakers

Are they to replace your door speakers

Indeed, front ones.

 

[Elliematt83]

Indeed, front ones.

I currently have a pair of fly 6x9 behind my front seats in built in boxes might do away with them and get something like that my only worry is the rattling sound of the 50s doors probs would need some kind of insulation

 

[LeStempy]

Not had the door cards of but looking at other threads it looks like there is already a bit of insulation on the 51 doors.

That's a bonus I took the standards out as it sounded terrible speakers were crap but also had that vibration noise in the doors so I put new ones behind seats it sounds good but something in the doors would be more tidy and have more room in the rear

Whilst testing a @Stempyuno lighting modification I noticed one of my lower light clusters was partially filled with water. Knowing what a ball-ache of a job removing the clusters is, and not wanting to risk losing a spanner or socket in the recess behind the wing (again), I make a simple but effective aqua easement port at the bottom of the light instead.

A PEE 51, complete with
“Aqua easement port”
... a hole

OK, I drilled a hole for the water to piss out of, you got me!
