    sat nav screen

    HD screen:D Because they are made in huge quantities and sell on low margins.Ah thanks First thing then - see if there is a way of neatly installing the screen in the dash - might buy a secondhand trim to experiment with - Cheers

    sat nav screen

    Speaking of looking at the maps - is there a way of the music cutting out while the GPS gives you directions and then returning to music automatically - Just a thought - but why is a made in China 7 inch Android less money than a 7 inch pc monitor or is the screen quality vastly different -

    sat nav screen

    Had not considered new technology and screen resolution - might be better of trying to fit a new lcd screen in to the existing dash -

    sat nav screen

    I have a 99 P38 with the interesting rectangular hole in the top centre dash - could a sat nav screen be retro fitted so that it all looks original and then use the screen as a pc monitor with one of those car pc's tucked away in the boot - not interferring with the original loom at all - it's...

    range rover p38 air spring wear

    Around a £100 a pair more for the Arnot Gen 3's - no off roading as such but a lot of farm type tracks - once the front and rear air springs are done would guess new shocks would not go amiss...

    range rover p38 air spring wear

    I'll start with the front pair but I know the rears are iffy although not leaking yet. My mot man mentioned that the rears looked very worn - was thinking of getting the Arnott second generation air bag/spring unless someone knows better rather than the third generation plus a packet of spring...

    range rover p38 air spring wear

    My front offside air spring has sprung a leak so another job to be done. Just interested in the wear that's at the bottom of the spring - cannot see what it would rub against unless it's itself as it inflates and deflates - the rubber is so worn at the bottom it's back to the steel wires inside...

    P38 head unit thoughts

    Finally managed to get the non working pioneer cassete out of the 99 rangerover. Luckily non of the wires appear to be chopped - seems to have two eight pin multi sockets one buff colour and one sort of blue that plugged in to the pioneer square connector - would anyone like to guess what system...

    P38 head unit thoughts

    I was thinking about getting the Alpine as well - is there a way of checking if it should be the Alpine unit - believe 99 was a change over year for P38 head units - thanks

    P38 head unit thoughts

    My 99 P38 pioneer cassette head unit has given up the ghost. The unit came with the car which I purchased about six months ago. Any suggestions on a replacement please - have considered an original alpine unit off a well known auction site - assume it would have been the alpine unit - other...

    door handle cam kit

    I have finally managed to remove the drivers door handle and have the STC3064G door handle cam kit. I know this has been discussed before but how do you actually remove the old cam from the handle - it's seems to be held in place by a hollow pin but how do you slide the pin out. My best idea so...
