lol Was exactly what I was wanting mate! so big thanks for that! Deffo recommend them!

lol cheers Nick! You'd be better waiting till the heating is installed before bringing your sleeping bag mate! lol. Yeah, had to get them colour coded, be rude not to. Should see what they can do with the covers though! Can actually have your car printed onto them, so it's like there isnt a cover on it, just your car. Cost nega bucks for that though!

Really tidy S3 mate, like that a lot. Always fancied an RS4, something about them I really like. Love the colour yours is in, very mint looking Audi mate!

A wee update! Got the floor all painted, and everything car related moved from the shed to the garage! Also took some pictures of how Ruby and Dawns deck are now all tucked up in their new beds! The car covers are awsome! Totally tailor made for both cars! They even come with their own little bags to store them in when not being used... And decided to get some sounds for the garage too, nice DAB radio with ipod dock and remote control! Got to give a plug to Specialized car covers.............amazing quality (double lined) and fit both cars perfectly. They even asked if Dawns deck had the mid spoiler fitted and if Ruby had the boot spoiler so that they could actually have panels sewn it to fit round them. Total amazing!! Check them out at :http://www.specialisedcovers.com/

Woo-hoo! This is sounding good! Keep us updated mate!!

As much as I love M's, Have to agree the seller is dreaming trying to sell it at that price. Even if it has been done to a very big spec, there's only so much these cars are worth. I'd say on a good day he might get 2 grand - 2 and a half grand tops.

Only just spotted this project! That's a stunning mb6 mate, really clean! Like where you're going with it too, good resto and some choice mods. Shadz mb6 was a total stunner mate, iirc he had to use adjustable camber arms and rolled arches to get them wheels on. I totally love that wheel, would get them for mine but not really into camber or rolling the arches........although might happen one day! Keep up ghe good work mate, loving this project thread!

Really hope you get this mate, as said above, that seriously needs to be in the club! Fingers crossed for ya mate!

Bloody hell! Genuine vtis deck with low miles!!!! I'm tempted as hell to buy that! Unfortunately, a 3 car family is bad enough to run! lol Why did that not come up when i was looking for a deck before I got Lexy You need to find a way to buy that mate, thats mint!!!

Yeah, sounding more and more like the motor mate. Are all the connections on the motor good? Also, thinking about it, if you have any members near you, might be worth asking them nicely if you could borrow their window switch to see if it makes any difference. Or try swapping for one of your other window switches, just to check its not the switch itself.

Strange that it's slow going down the way, but ok when closing. Usually the other way round. Best bet is to take off the door card mate and then work the window, see if there's anything obstructing the window channel etc. Might just be needing the channels adjusted slightly, but more than likely the motor on it's way out.

Yeah mate, the room behind the head unit is really tight. If there's extra cables for amps and stuff, then the best thing to do is try and remove as much of the plastic panel right where the rear of the head unit sits, and then feed the cables down the left hand side (there's a small gap there) and into the area at the side of the glovebox. I'm sure there's a how to somewhere in the electrical bit for it if you get stuck

yeah, got to agree Rob is a top bloke! Anything he sells is always at a great price, and as above, in great condition! drove his deck when he had that set up on it mate, was a really great set up. Comfy, low and handled perfectly. Looking forward to seeing this on yours!

Is the St not a 2 litre? Thought it was only the RS that got the 5 cylinder?

I know it's not in the same league, but Dawn had a 51 plate focus Zetec estate when it was brand new. Handling wise, the focus is and always has been a fantastic car. Even though it was an estate (it had the roof rails so had the beefed up suspension, Zetec ones without the rails had bogo suspension) I couldn't get it to loose the rear even on wet roads, they just seem to grip and grip! Very point and go steering too. Not been in an ST yet, but must say I do like the look of them mate. I'd recommend a focus all day long, just good all round cars. Saying that...................feck that, get a bloody mb6!

If the bottom hose isnt warm mate, then the system still has air in it. I found the MB6 is a pig to bleed. I think I posted up a how to on it, or posted instructions somewhere recently. Took me ages to get the air out of mine. Spudley, deffo change the thermostat first mate, and as above, make sure you really get all the air out the system or the problem will persist. If you get all the air definitely out of it and it still persists, then your mechanic is right, could be the water pump is one the way out. Check your hoses every so often to see if they do the same as vtismill. PS: fill your profiles in guys so we can use names instead of usernames! lol Ta!

Hi mate. It's one we've not heard of before (apart from Mark above!) but would suggest checking the door switches one by one. Give them all a spray with switch cleaner, then push them in and out for about 3 mins on each one. If it's dirty contacts, that should clear it. If not, check the terminals on the actual light itself, see if theres any sign of corrosion on them. As Mark said, if it's water getting to them, then you should see some signs around the terminals. If that checks out ok, then it has to be the actual light around the ignition barrel itself. It's weird that the light is dimming first, then not going fully out, as we dont have the dimming interior light system on our M's. That works from a capacitor (transitor looking thing) which stores power when the light is on, then slowly discharges when the power is cut from the light. Could be a bad earth somewhere between the interior light and the ign barrel light.

Hi Rassiel, There shouldn't be any issues mate as the immobilizer is worked from the ignition key, it has a transponder in it. I got an aftermarket alarm system fitted to both my MB6 and Dawns MC1 Deck. As long as it's a proper fitter that's doing it, all should be straight forward mate

Your honour is honoured! Now in the How To section, and edited your original post to include the link But for those wanting the linky without scrolling back up this page, clicky here!

Excellent how to mate! We need more like this! Looks sweet all fitted up mate, really like that.

You're deck is epic mate, so can see why your stuck on what to do. I think if it were me, I'd probably get another civic as a daily and really go to town on the deck. As rare as the ef sedans are, there's always going to be one at a show thats been modded, and you kinda get slated for going any other route other than JDM with it. So kinda leaves you pee'd off at some of the comments you would get if you dared be different. Obviously you'd be fine on here with it, cause at civic5 we don't stick to any one particular style, and love to see something tastefully different. But with the deck, you know you are already being different from the crowd, and where and how far you go with it is only limited to your imagination. I know I'm biased, but I'm always gonna say go mad with the deck!

Yeah, we did have it but it was a no brainer tbh. Loads of people just joined the forum and put up an ebay link to stuff they wanted to sell, and it gave us a hella lot of work cleaning up links that had ended etc. Just cluttered the place up. Thanks for the input though fella

lmao!

Sounds like it's disconnected at the heater mate, or, if you're unlucky, it may have come away at the switch end of the cable. If it has, then it's a centre console out job to repair it.

Thanks Paul! Update on the garage. Both M's now slumming it outside till the weekend! Emptied the garage so we could get the floor sealed, then painted. No0w had it's second coat of red garage floor paint, and is looking cushdy. Should be ok to get all the shelving/workbench/tools etc back in tomorrow night, but can't be driven on for 2 days. Be good to get the spare bedroom back, as it's currently home for all of the above! can't get in the bloody door! Oh, and Ruby and Dawns deck's tailor made car covers arrive tomorrow! Result! So plan is, Saturday get both cars washed/dried, then back into garage. Then over Saturday/sunday get both machine polished, then fit their covers. Garage will be a whole lot better now, as the cement dust from the floor was awful. now it should be a relatively dust free zone. Will take some pics tomorrow at some point. Looking at heaters next, with possible panel heaters getting fitted so it's heated during the winter too. Couple of halogens or space heaters will be bought for when we're working in the garage. Massive thanks to Paul (Bladerider929) for his help over the last few days, coming straight from night shifts to help with the painting. TBH, he did most of it!
