what was wrong with your mirrors mate? as my passenger side does not operate electrically, and i thought it may be a common problem.

cheers, stu.

Car looks nice and shiny mate. Try removing the plastic panel on the driver's side door trim and see if there's a problem with the wiring. Mine weren't working properly but after a little fiddle around with the wiring plug they started working perfectly again.

Well. I took the switch out. Removed the plug. It has two layers of pins. The 4 wires for the top pins had been pulled through the plastic plug too far. Clipped them back into the plug with some tiny pliers and hey presto they work.

Next got to sort the washers out.

Need an amp and front speakers as well. I am thinking infinity components.

Screen was pump fixed. Dodgey wiring from previous owners.

I have found someone to recharge my aircon with R12

and now tucked away in the garage.

I have infinity components in mine They are brilliant.

No amp just off the 50w per channel JVC head unit. Front L+R runs a pair of infinity crossovers and outputs to the infinity Mids and Tweeters in the door. the Rear L+R outputs run a separate set of crossovers and runs Infinity Bass drivers and some small mids in the panels by the seatbelts.

Sounds phonemenal and i can hear the music clearly with the roof out at 70 no problems. I think with the 5zigen + Decat going on i will have to amp them though 8)
