Awesome pics!!!

Have you ever had any issues with power consumption? Id be scared in case I drew too much and started melting cables. Whats are the plastics like to remove? are they a ballache to remove and refit and how easy was it to cut out the plastic to position the port?

Ok my friend. Let me explain:thumb2.

Right....

1.

The cables are not the thickest in the world, but I have never had problems
with power consumption. Fuses have stayed intact. It's just like putting a duel ciggy adaptor in like you can buy in shops. Ya know , so you can say put 2 phone chargers in to one lighter


2.

Plastics are quite easy to remove just screwed in. If you want. I could do a vid explaining how to remove the dash. It'll probably be uploaded for this afternoon.

3.

The hole was piss easy to cut, I ears a hole cutter fitted to a drill


4.

Amp of wire I used was about 15

Anymore questions just ask

Yeah that's true suppose as long as the fuses haven't gone pop then chances are your all gravy

Ah mate that would be awesome, talk about above and beyond
How long does it take roughly in and out, I wouldn't mind familiarising myself with the heater matrix while I'm in there as I hear these are prone to failure

Do you remember what size? And the ports that you were using, were they from a Mav/Terrano? I suppose you could use any in theory as a port is a port

Sweetness, where did you get it?

No need to remove the whole dash for this mod

ok, i'll do a vid for you, i'll also show the heater matrix as i have one in storage, wire cameout of dad's old alfa romao and the lighter came from his volvo 850 i was breaking them both:thumb2

but you can get wire and lighters off ebay or halfords, the vid will probably be uploaded this evening as my computer is slow
