Anyone know if the retractable parcel shelf from a deck fits in a 5 door MB?

Hello everyone I just got a hold of a mb1 a couple of months ago from a friend(he was planning taking it to the scrap yard) who had it sitting outside for the last 6 years! 6 years ago my friend decided to fix the car for his wife so he changed the engine(he blew the D16Y2 that was originally installed in the car) and put a D16b2(he found one with 45.000 km) ,he also did some bodywork and left it outside to rot because his wife found it outdated and she hated the color also(red)! The 6 years out in all kind of wheather got to the car pretty hard so I had to fix allot of things(almost the hole exhaust system,electrical wires,shatterd front windscreen and back windscreen rubber,clearcoat pealing in various areas ,rusty arches,all black exterior had gone gray,yellow headlights ,brake pump, sagging headlining, rotten disc brakes and stuck calipers and many many more little things) I put in a lot of work the couple of months (with a fairly little amount of cash and a lot of hard work)and still have a lot more to do to the car but I think the civic is starting to look at least decent for it's age ! So after I finished the exterior a couple of weeks ago it was time for the interior! The inerior has a lot to be done such as fixing the driver seat cause it has a rocking chair effect ,and I also don't like the grey marble trims on the dash and am thinking about vinyl wraping them ! I started with the interior with gluing the flimsy steering wheel and I stitched a leather cover to it, I fixed the headlining last week (still got to do the sunroof section cause it has brown stains on it and I have tried cleaning it with almost everything and still does not clean,so i don't know what to do with it,can it be spray painted grey,what spray could do for this job?))thank's to the guide in this forum and both jobs came out looking damn good! So the next thing I want to do ASAP is change the door card upholstery , but I can't find a guide or something that would help me ,is there such a thing anywhere( a guide with some pictures if possible)? I find he door card upholstery just horrible ,I cant stand it no more ,I find it almost disgusting, its this pink zebra kind patern and colour and it is on the seats also (for the seats for the time I will go for black seat covers ), whoever gets in the car makes fun of the seats and the door card upholstery! Somewhere in this forum I read that someone just riped of the upholstery and spay painted the door cards,are there any pictures of this anywhere? If this is possible than it sounds like a pretty good idea to me ,but I don't know what is the door card material made of ,is it plastic ,does it have a smooth surface and can it be spray painted easily ,can anyone help please? Thank's in advance!!!!!

So my interior light stopped working quite awhile back. I've checked the fuse. Changed it with a spare anyways but still no. It randomly stopped working one day. I've seen things mention about it being because of a new headunit but it happened while I still had the old headunit. Bulbs are also fine. Rear boot works fine from memory. Everything else works fine. What could it be?

I've been trying to get the two screws at the top of the ashtray mount for months now, I'd turn the screwdriver left (righty tighty lefty loosy) and it would just jump out of the screw.. Today I was ranting about it to my girlfriend and she tells me: "have you tried turning it right?" I look at her like "wut?" I mean righty tighty lefty loosy right? Well not today. I tried turning the screws right and it worked.. it bloody WORKED! I've been trying to undo those screws, stripping them out for months. when all I had to do was turn the screwdriver right.. I'm not even mad..

Hey I'm not too bright when it comes to electrics so excuse my ignorance. I bought an LED interior light, but dumb me bought a 12v light instead of a 7.5v and naturally, the 7.5v fuse didn't like that very much and blew, so I'm thinking, would there be a problem if I replaced the 7.5v fuse with a 12v? Also, the clock bulb went out, I've tried reaching it through the stereo slot but my hands are too big, is there any other way to get to it that doesn't involve taking apart the center console? Thanks

Hiya team, I've just inherited a lovely little MA9 1.5 here, and it still has the original speakers and pioneer head unit in it. Other half is keen on good tunes, and so I thought I had better do some upgrading. Looking around on various topics I see that Astra H type adaptor rings can be used to adapt the OEM 6in speakers to take some 6.5 ones. 2 questions: 1) Are these the adapters in question: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Astra-H-Corsa-D-Speaker-Adaptor-Rings-Front-Doors-6-5-165mm-SAK-1400-/370910867648 2) Has any body seen a how to guide to do this? Looking at the pictures of them I would imagine you'd need to flip them over to accommodate the large speaker facing into the cabin? All help much appreciated, Magnus

HI guys Ive herd a few people on here have got cages made for their cars and wondered where about they got them from or made and how much did they cost and if anyone has any pictures? Thanks Ben

Hello, First of all i'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, if it isn't please move it for me, thanks Does anyone know what this light is? never seen it turn on yet it's just there unlabeled doing nothing. The owners manual doesn't seem to mention it, according to the owners manual there should be a switch for the dashboard light in it's place

Hi guys does anyone know if an ek boss kit would fit a ma8? cheers Ben

When I had my Impreza, I did a pretty intense Nexus 7 install. It would be a waste not to be able to use it again. I was wondering if there are any double-din centre consoles out there I can buy?

Hi guys, I change my stock interior for a vti interior. But the back seat doesn't fit on the bow of my car?

Hi I'm looking at getting a pair of dc2 recaros in the near future and was just wounding if anybody knew what would be the best way to fit them into my mb6, would it be moddifie the dc2 railes to fit mb chassis or moddifie a pair of mb railes on to the dc2 recaros? Any help would be appreciated.

I've been looking around for a little bit of information but the main info I've found is related to the MB6 VTI-S.. I have a 1.4 Sport MB (MB3 / MB8 depending on who you speak too!) it has Half leathers, AC, PAS, Leather stitched wheel (did until I yanked it out for a Vertex wheel), Electric Windows (front), Electric Mirrors (adjust & Heat), carbon-look trim around knob, grills etc, Leather stitched honda gear knob. Now apart from the MB6 which has 99% the same interior I have found, what other differences across the range have what? I know theres that wood/tortoise shell looking trim option too but wondered if there was anything exclusive to the VTIS/VTI/Sport? and I was lead to believe the VTIS was the only model in Pirated black, Theres a 1.6 VTEC MB round the corner in PB, doesn't have wing or anything like the trim, has stock fabric seats, no AC yet the colour is definitely black that flips into purple as PB does.. Ideas?

Hi, I was wondering how dc2 recaros fit in the interior, does it take more space then the oem seats? My oem seats are rubbing the armrest, so I want to know if they take more place then the oems?

Hi all got a Honda mb boot tray, any idea of what they're worth?

Hi, I'm about to replace the front speakers in my MB3 and I'd like to get some fitting adapters, without having to make them out of MDF, I've heard people mention that some Vauxhall one's will fit bit the never mention the model or year. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I was looking for a hub, and I found this one for a rover 200/400/600. It fits also a few mg models. This should fit our models too? Don't want a ebay version or a cheap one, so I was looking for a momo. https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/momo-steering-boss-for-rover-200-400-600-with-airbag-4928

I read in the owners manual that you can have the centre two dash vents bypassing the heater so can have the temperature up but still having cold air coming out blowing onto your face, does that make sense? The two vents above the clock has that little switch on it? Does anyone elses actually do anything?

Thought I best move this out of General Chat and start a thread in Members Cars.. I'm bloody shattered lol Have been cleaning all day! More pics to follow, I'm sat in lounge atm with the two front seats on coffee table and a tub of black leather restorer I just keep getting evils time to get dirty! *again*

Hi, I'm changing the headunit in my MB4 because the old one wasn't working properly. The screen would fall out intermittently and when touched, it would turn off. I bought a new JVC unit which is very nice, but I cannot seem to make it fit. It's as if the wires or something else perhaps is blocking it from seating correctly in the DIN slot. Needs like 1-2 more cm to sit properly and lock in place. I tried literally everything i can do without tearing the interior apart, because I cant figure out how the interior is put together. I'd happily accept any advice as to how I can make my new head unit fit. Also, I noticed that when I adjust my cluster bulb lights they flicker, nothing severe, just wanted to mention it. And also, is the clock in the center console (above head unit) supposed to be unlit? I cant see anything in the evening/night on it. During the daytime its fine. Hope you guys can help me - Fred.

As title, ive seen some seats from a hatch and wondering if they will fit into my '97 aerodeck? Thanks
