Ta for the help. Is in, but not brilliantly, but working. At least i have sound for the journey. Will set it up properly when i get back tomorrow so that the stereo a) fits in properly and b) sounds right. This is the furthest i have driven the Rocco, so will be fun. Going to go down the A1 as its a...

To be fair i reckon that as long as i get +/- right it should not matter. It looks like at some point someone has amalgamated the wires into one (hence i have 4). Can split and have 8. If i do them in any order it will not matter as i will never want front/rear left/right etc. Just have them on at t...

When they say mot safe, why would it fail? I know on an Imp (sorry if i keep putting stuff back to Imps, i have been driving them for 15 years, its all i know) if i lower it the side lights are below the legal limit. Thankfully most MOT test stations are generally not aware of this. When they design...

Edmundator, you are THE MAAAAAN! :buddy: For some reason my inline fuse was connected to something else. Not sure why, i just took the old stereo out and it was like that so i did not mess. As soon as i connected that up to the live the thing switched on. When i connected the speakers though the blo...

Have only just come back to this to fit the stereo as off down to London in it tomorrow and would not mind some choons to listen to on the way. :music: Thanks for that hint Roccodave. Have taken note. However i have connected everything up (i think) but it will not switch on. :help: Have tried earth...

DOH!

Can they not fit onto a Mk2 then? They do look bloody ace.

I got mine for under £50 by just taking it to Motosave.

That does look good with no spoiler. Quite tempted to do that myself.

Is the bolt going into a thread on the bodywork or into a bolt attached to the bodywork? They may be a pain in the arse but i have used helicoils a couple of times. Will have to drill out the original bolt first though. If you cannot get a purchase on the bolt head as it has rounded or something i h...

Do you think it has flashing knobs......the flashing knobs!

Autochoke? I assume it has one, mine does the same. Mine goes up to 2k revs for a bit until it does down.

Start fairly rough and then go fine.

I am using various grades, but even when using the heavy grades its still hard work. I am just being lazy and wondering if there are any shortcuts i can make.

Afternoon all, I am going to get a new stereo for the Rocco however before i do so i just need to know where do i put the pink wire to raise the ariel. If i put it on the live wire it will be up all the time. I need to connect it to something that only becomes live when i turn on the stereo. Any ide...

What is the best way to apply and rub filler? I have been doing a fair bit of welding and have been applying filler as thinly as possible to the area i have welded to make a good surface to paint. However no matter how thinly i spread it, its got great big edges that take an hour to rub smooth to a ...
