    OE Headunit Has Strangely Died

    I know what you mean mate. When I pulled it out to fit an iPod lead i bubble wrapped the gear knob so as not to scratch it and was really careful when taking it out ad utting it back in. Somehow I can't see the dealers taking the same amount of care....... :thumbdown:

    OE Headunit Has Strangely Died

    My car has been stood so long that the battery went flat. Once I jumped it off the stereo asked for the code and it's working again now. I don't know whether to take it to the dealers or not. I reckon it will be one of those gremlins that they will never solve but will probably scratch the...

    Ice

    Went out in mine on a short journey on Tuesday. When I set off there wasnt a snow flake on the ground, within 10 minutes the road was covered. Never again, how I got the car home in one iece is a miracle. There was very little grip and it was sliding all over the place. Fantastic cars but...

    s it Just Me Or Are The Roads Droppin To Pieces???

    Round my way most of the roads (apart from A roads) have developed some serious pot holes and what has worn away is stood on the surface as stones. Surely there are countries with far more severe winters whose roads don't disintegrate like this. Perhaps it might have eased things a bit if they...

    s it Just Me Or Are The Roads Droppin To Pieces???

    Is it just me or are the roads falling apart since the snow and ice?? Took the 197 out for a blast for the first time in ages the other day and there are now so many pot holes and loose chippings about it's untrue. Stone chip city :frown:

    OE Headunit Has Strangely Died

    HELP!!!! Parked the car up last Thursday (17th Dec) and have started it and left running for 20 minutes once every couple of days but today is the first time I have driven it in a week. When I set off I thought I would put the radio on and the headunit and dash display are totally dead. I...

    Old for New

    I'm with Jase on that one! The rumour is 2011 and that's what I'm hoping for - ideal swap time. That is a sweet looking car though. I have a problem with the look of the 200 in every colour other than black and nimbus. I bet that 600 mile trip will be grins all the way :redface:

    Hi advice greatfully received

    I'm from a VW background too and (I hope I'm not tempting fate here!) I've had no problems at all with my 197 and confidently say it's the best car to drive I've owned. When I put my deposit down all my mates thought I was bonkers - and I got the usual jibes about it being French, it'll be...

    Mate, they look absolutely stunning. Do you know if they do anything similar for non Recaros?

    I bought one!

    Nice one mate! I've got a Nimbus 197 and I absolutely love it. I think the colour makes the car look serious and gives it real presence. Enjoy!! :w00t:

    I agree! Black Wow is amazing to use and lasts forever as you hardly need to use any to get fantastic results

    Part Number for FIA Champions Decal

    I seriously had a figure of £15ish including the dreaded VAT in my head and would have (reluctantly!) stumped up the cash but not at fifty quid! Thats bonkers :confused1:

    Pressure Wash Help

    I've recently purchased a Nilfisk ALTO C120.4-6 X-TRA that is on offer on Screwfix at the moment. I have to say it's absolutely superb and really compact so I'd recommend one of those.
