It was about 190, cant find the seller i used but its the same as this one

Seems cheap for everything it does but im happy with mine, Everything works even the sat nav is ok.

 

Sound quality isnt the best ive heard but its good enough for me over the sound of a diesel Landrover lol

Yeah i thought my old JVC one would fit in the skoda but it looks stupid :(

Mines only a single din...

Yeah i know but its the top of the stereo that looks stupid ( top part missing from surround ) so if i get a double din OR one with a pop out screen you won't see it :)

Oh right . Why do they make new car dashboards so complicated 

My thoughts exactly :( when you swap from stock cassette player you have to buy a surround separate as the stock player is larger :(

have to do this with most cars anyway mate due to after market being smaller etc

Yeah but with skids you have to buy almost the full dash to get it fitted and looking right :(

Well to go with the new wheels and tyres thought id go up in the world with a lift kit.
Its about 3 inches taller than standard now and gives the bigger tyres a bit more room for off roading
 
So seeing as the rain kept off today i got the Springs all fitted.
 
4 hours, Not bad for working on my own with basic tools.
 
Seeing as i said i didnt want to lift my D2 a few pages back im quite happy with how it looks.

All washed down and cant find a leek anywhere lol.
Ill keep looking.
 
Then while on the motorway broken down with normal perfect timing the bonnet release cable broke lol.
 
So ordered one with a gearbox service kit and forgot last time i looked on there i added some front light guards to my basket.
I was a bit supprised when i saw them in the box lol so today while changing the cable got them fitted to cheer myself up a bit
