Thank you sir

Hi got a question. Anyone having a HSE with the harman kardon/becker unit? On night/illuminated, are the surround buttons properly illuminated or just dimm with the main display being brighter? Does turning lights on make any difference? I just retrofitted a becker unit and my car did not have...

Last but not least I also have this which says discovery II which in theory should be the same, becker 4765. I think I will try this one...

This is what I have so far

Hi, I am retrofitting the becker unit to a fl1 facelift, for no other reason than the looks and I have bluetooth unit behind which works fine. Now, I cannot get the steering wheel controls to work. Not volume, not next/previous. I think I need to plug a wire somewhere but looking at the...

That's cool but why :) it's a fl1.

Must of been parked on grass or very salty area, fl1s don't usually rust that bad.

Hah you picked the best of it's cousins, it's also a Mondeo :)

yes that arm is twisting the fork. You cannot avoid taking the gearbox out at this point, you will find what is happening once you do that.

It's possible that he cannot change gears because of that! :D

Ok I did read. Well, there is a fork in the gearbox that is not uncommon to crack. You will have to pop the gearbox out. Had a very similar issue and that was it, easy to spot once in hand. PN is UTB100140 and looks like this You should check operation when you push and see if the cylinders...

Too long, didn't read.

Genuine, sachs, kyb or some reputable brand will do. Stay away from allmakes and britpart. No options for fl such as bilstein b6. Monroe adventure on rears are monotube, nice to have.

Well install the 04 from http://diagnosticdelivery.jlrext.com/idscentral dunno what happened 04 is both in vm and iso I provided.

Some BGA things might be ok, bu in my experience mostly are to be avoided. on MLS hgs prob alright, but I got a few valves for my past mitsubishi v6 and the quality difference was just concerning. I returned them all.

For HG I went for ELRING 732.190 as it's the best price/quality. For bolts went for Payen Kit HBS261 Seals cortego or reinz. I did not get any ready complete kit, although cheaper they contain BGA parts which is like britpart for engines.

Yes sounds nice. I will strip the valves on my spare head, the ones that have no wear (some appear like that) then get a few new ones, new lifters and new lash adjusters and that will do. Might end up cheaper that way, less than 200.

Easier said than done, I have ebay alerts and I am getting notifications as soon as they are listed but so far 51k is the best and 500 quiddy. It is low but not low enough for me to do this job again.

ELRING 732.190 Got one extra new sealed on desk :)

Wish I could steal that from you, my engine runs fine now but is noisy because of the valves wear pattern and don't want to change all valves and rockers for that.
