Hello all I have a ridiculous theory I'd like to run past your collective minds, and it is this: The climate control system on a D2 is a stand alone ECU, temp sensors internal/external and solar load sensor and a HeVAC panel wired to an aircon compressor, fans and the requisite pipework...

Thanks Datatek - any idea where they all are under the dash on a 300tdi Classic? Might as well install aircon if I'm going to have to rip the whole lot out!

Hi everyone - posted some time ago and had a couple of responses but the issue persists. Any electrical experts out there, your help is needed as it's a mystery to me. If I can hit it or torque it, fine. If I need a multimeter... not so much. 1995 300tdi RRC Vogue with the following bastard...

This is the answer! Just pull out the existing factory unit and replace it with one of these! With an Alpine H/U and factor door/roof/window pillar speakers it sounds absolutely astonishing. And you can install this behind the existing trim! So for anyone who has a blown RRC Sub, I now...

Cheers mate - much appreciated!

Now that is how to do it... What an absolutely stunning restoration.

Hi all I have a replacement ally frame for my venerable rust - sorry, soft - dash. What I don't have on either the rotten one or replacement is the sealing strip that sits on the bottom of the top tailgate. Anybody know where I can get my paws on one, or what would make an adequate...

I notice the Scotts have stopped banging their drum about how wealthy they'd all be now...

I'd only get it if it was my old one! And it's not... Sadly.

Very sadly because the engine went pop quite spectacularly and, while I did try, I couldn't afford to replace the engine and keep it. Plus my then girlfriend hated driving it. I had it fitted with a JE 4.6 Fast Road block and tuning package. Give it about 45 - 50 hp over standard. PLus I put...

I guess at least it's waterproof now?!

Good point. That said I once had a Holland and Holland P38 (which I regret selling every day - X129 BUX. If anyone ever sees it for sale, do let me know. I want him back!) and I don't think that had an LRSV badge. My father had a 1997 Autobiography and the only extra over standard was an...

Ha! Yeah I hadn't thought of that - if I got an Auto'b back after a shunt and they'd hung the badge wrong I'd be furious!

Brilliant - thanks for the heads up.

Hi all I've just fitted a far better head unit to the car to replace the mid-line Clarion radio cassette. I know there has been a bit of chatter around this topic before, but I just wanted some clarity. How can I make the factory sub and little amp in the boot work with my head unit...

Hello team - bit of a long one, this, but really hoping somebody can help before I do my absolute nut and or pointlessly rip apart the car. Pretty sure I have a bad earth problem - it manifests itself as follows: Headlights flicker and pulse - not dramatically, but enough. When I flash...

Biggest give away is the 'Autobiography' badge has been mounted perpendicular to the ground. On P38's the text swept in a bottom left to top left sort of ark. It's only on the later L322 onwards that it started to be mounted horizontally. If I had a pound for every time I saw a standard...

Thanks for thoughts - the battery light and seemingly low RPM was an issue before the welding. I didn't do the welding but was around when it was being done. We removed the loom from both wings and had it all tied up against the bulkhead, battery was out and off the vehicle but the alternator...

Hi all - I've a '95 soft dash which is exhibiting some odd symptoms. Thought I'd ask you collective wisdom before starting to dig. The battery light is always on when you start it up, usually goes away when you give it a blip of throttle, although sometimes it can take up to 30 seconds of...

Hello all! Long time reader, never a poster. About time I changed that! I have a 1995 'N' reg 300tdi RRC Vogue which is the subject of an ongoing, rolling, rebuild so will no doubt be posting here a great deal. Any thoughts I can give based on years of bleeding knuckles, expense...
