      will be taking mine out after breakfast :) 

      been 2 weeks since i took the p2 out.

      the phantom can take abit of wind so should be ok.

  2. hi guys,

     

    hope everyone is ok.

     

    i am getting sick and tired of having to take the battery out to fill up the power steering fluid, i just dont know where to look to see why i have to fill it all the time.

     

    can anyone help please?

      You probably have a leak on a pipe or the pump, what car is it?

      You've obviously got a leak, look under the reservoir for the pipes check and follow those pipes to the pump check all around the pump for oil leaking look for the pipework from the pump to the steering rack check for split or loose pipes, check around the rack for oil leaking, when you e found the oil clean it of with break cleaner then operate the steering left to right this should case the oil to leak from the damaged seal or pipe and able you to identify the fault.

      Hope that helps.

  3. ok guys bit of an update:

     

    the door is locked permanently, i had check inside the door and the locking mechanism will not open the door at all.

     

    question is, how do i force the locking mechanism out from the door so i can open the door? i was thinking about a crowbar, i have already got another locking mechanism so i dont mind if this breaks, i will be putting the new lock into my new door

      problem is i think the central unit is broke after the crash so its not working at all.

      Why does it need locking to keep the kids from opening it.

      i will find one that is for me. the vcds is bit of an overkill to be honest.

      Not many tools will alter VAG settings. VAG com or a clone of it is your best bet. You could try joining a local VAG owners club on Facebook as someone is bound to have it on there and will usually help you out.

      i desperatle need some panels for mine, couldnt find any on ebay but when i googled it, that camo one showed up. kinda like the army look but would prefer the skull types.

    3. QRC

      QRC

      It's just price, outrageous!!, see if OHO will make you some panels, they look much better and more cost effective. :good:

      already got the xbox one mate :D  but i have always liked the original ps3 due to the fact it can play anything. well all  ps stuff.

    4. Fly In My Soup

      Fly In My Soup

      Too right... The original 'fat' ps3 was a masterpiece... Built from the ground up. Software enthusiasts dream, very versatile once you ran it on CFW.

       

      The xbox360 was OK too...

       

      I see the ps4 and Xbox one as more of a gamers console.... They're not a mod friendly console...

  8. anyone know how i can play usb stick on my skod fabia mk2 car?

    cheers guys

      Fly In My Soup

      Lol, just spoke to bro...I was wrong......it IS actually possible to use a USB stick using an FM transmitter with a built in mp3/DA AND a USB port

       

      But from his experience the sound quality is on a par with a phone speaker:D

       

      Hence why I would suggest upgrading to a used unit with USB port on facial

       

      If anything it will be cheaper and will also improve your sound quality

      cheap euff to get a usb unit nowadays40-50quid maybe:good:

      My 2013 yr fabia has the option Sat nav media unit. No rush in that either, but it does do blutooth  from my phone, have a bespoke interface connector ( that you have to buy adapters for) in the lower compartment on the passenger side and also has a sd card slot in the head unit.

  9. anyone tried converting their drum brakes to disc brakes?

      ahh, yeah i think i know what you mean. mine being a smaller engine should be fine im guessing. 

    3. yoodoo

      yoodoo

      If its not that powerful its not worth the conversion. If the manufacturers have stated drums and you havn't modified the engine to in crease BHP then they know best.

      Presumably you would have to report it as "modified" to your insurer?

      Always wondered if those short Stroke front shocks could handle a large jump ok.

       

      I like the design, not much of a faffy body to deal with/break

  10. can anyone recommend me a tablet mount for a dji phantom tranmitter please?

      nice one, I remember putting new drive gears in my diff and checking it 20 times to find out why i was locking up,

      turned out the new ones were a different make and less than 1mm thicker DOH !

  15. could anyone recommend a decent budget car battery charger and tester please? ive got a 12v charger but i know it wont be powerful enough for a car battery.

     

    cheers

    1. dazp1976

      dazp1976

      Can't you just use your lpo charger on pb?

      Car batts can only take about 1/10th so even a 50ah can only take 5A.
