    Number plate parking sensors?

    Hello, I have been thinking of fitting aftermarket reverse parking sensors to my car. I looked at different types but I cannot decide: 1) The 4-sensor system, for the ones where you have to drill holes into the bumper? -> I am really not keen on doing this. For me, it just does not look OK on...

    Heater Problems

    I also had the same issue: AC ON, temp set to Lo, left side was blowing cold and right side not. Whether on Auto and Manual setting... did not make any difference. I did not run any diagnostics. No leaks noticed, my Condenser was replaced 2 years ago. I went to Halfords, asked them to recharge...

    Leather interior into type s

    No, the wiring is different. I also have a Type-S with the half-leather manual seats and was thinking about it... In the Type-S the wiring is only for the Seatbelt and Airbag. The Leather seats have additional connectors for the heating and for the electric motors. You could get the required...

    Removing AC completely

    The only benefit I see there is no more than a few kilograms of weight saving. The condenser and the compressor are roughly 10kg together. If you would remove the condenser you would not gain much usable space, due to it's location. However, you would have better airflow to the fan and radiator...

    Vibration when driving above 60mph and when braking

    I want to add my story to this topic, maybe others will also benefit from it... Similar to the OP's problem, I also experienced the annoying judder when braking, mainly from above 50-60 mph. At lower speeds as well, but not so noticeable. I could also feel it on the steering wheel, and on the...

    Hardwired dashcam not turning off

    Yes, it is possible. There is DIY guide here. Or you can get a complete multimedia interface like this, which just plugs into the factory navi (a little bit expensive). Other link I found for SKU7826.

    Best place to buy A/C Condensor and drier

    Yes, the narrow cylinder on the side is the receiver drier and should be replaced together with the condenser. But usually they come built together. I let a professional replacing it, due to the possibility of frostbite and blinding. The old unit needs to be depressurized and refrigerant needs...

    Wanted 7th gen 2.4 vtec

    I am also looking for one :D I actually have a 2.0 Type-S automatic (FL), but want to 'upgrade' to a 2.4 EX (FL) for a little bit more oomph and comfort. Good ones are very rare and being sold fast.
