I rubbish with electrics and I upgraded to a modern fuse box there is a guide somewhere, its not a big job and can be reversed.
-
Thanks for diagram gives me something to work with :P
-
replacing buttons should make a difference if there perished, will never be like new but I guess it depends how bad the spring is.

Thats looks very nice. I'm planning on running two corsa fans and have already fitted the larger rad, I'm relatively lost when it comes to relays and electrical stuff so will have to have a read up.

Didn't waste any time with that.

What car do you have? noticed there is a used diff on fleabay at the moment.

Any one pop up a simple diagram of how this would work? would be a massive help to the novice such as myself. :)

Hi I would do a search plenty of info on this. I'm after a sender switch majig myself that comes on at correct temp. I think it's a case of using one designed for another car rather than an off the shelf thing.

Have changed brakes on modern cars and gone straight to MOT before no problems. -

I wasn't aware that they carried any large structural importance same for the rear wings, but i'm no expert on the matter.

Quote:On the subject of other seats, I have just been to school for three days with work, and we have a few smart cars (for our customers mainly to use when they drop trucks off with us) Anyway, they have small size seats, so they may be an option for a spit, they are quite small in width, and quite low. Also they have an integrated seat belt into the seat. The only downside for me, they feel a little too firm, perhaps because the cars are still quite new. But I suppose they could be softened up like Marcus has done. Just thought I'd give you another idea, cheers From any Smart car? seem quite cheap on flea bay, doubt it will be long until someone gives it a go. Backs look very high though.

I'm in the process of fitting some after market seats, they were originally fitted on the runners supplied but sat too high. I am trying to fit them on the original spit runners which is going ok and saves over an inch in height will try and get some pics up when i'm done.

I would say you may just get away with the repair panel. I noticed your comment on attaching the front valances earlier in the thread, with them being FG i used large pop rivets which has worked well. 😉

I used to have some on mine but just feel all of them detract from the look of the car.

Quote:if you get 41/2 wide steels no difference to standard , just done it on a mk4 for a mate and think it suits it, if you need any 41/2 steels that take hubcaps and live anywhere near norfolk i have about 8laying around cheers andy I live in Norwich how much would you take for them? PM me :)
-
Wheels are not smaller though are they just narrower. MK3 can also take wider wheels but don't look silly with the factory ones, main reason is 1500 wheels don't accept hub caps.
-
Is this not possible, practical or just never done? :)
-
I was told mine were quite warn but still do the job so not sure what to read into that maybe a light refurb would do. :-/
-
How difficult to do this job yourself as mine are going to need it, or is it not worth the hassle?
-
Hello all Just looking to put some mk3 wheels on my 1500. I know there a fair bit narrower and obviously no vent holes but other than that will it work? Im guessing it will effect cornering some what but I'm never going to be throwing this car around and really like the look of white MK3 wheels with the hubcaps on. Any input appreciated Thanks James
