    Folding Mirrors on Door Locking

    Does anyone know if its easily done. I would assume a relay and a few bits of wire should do it. Unless its a undocumented feature on the alarm system.

    Folding Mirrors on Door Locking

    I would like to have the mirrors fold in when I lock the doors with the keyfob. I have had my mirrors hit several times over the past few weeks by cars and pedestrians(pub nearby).

    EGR blanking plate, removing vacume pipes.

    Thanks guys. I have blanked off both of the holes by using a length of motorcycle fuel pipe and a jubilee clip at the open end. Now all I need to do is sort out my pictures and write a quick guide. Even though its a easy job.

    EGR blanking plate, removing vacume pipes.

To prevent the EGR from opening and from the EGR closing the air intake. I have taken plenty of pictures of my work so far and...

    3 Amigos but only while parking

    I have now fixed the power-steering pump which was leaking, but I had to replace the belt as a clever PO fitted one that was 1cm too small so it was a PITA to fit and ended up de-laminating. Now a new problem has presented itself. When I reverse park into a space at work I get the Three Amigos...
