skymera Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 A trip to Wickes later and I have some 30mm washers. With these I could tighten the bolts more and this pulled the lip right up. Needs a little fettling but I'm happy. Pics tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skymera Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 So this is where I am, it's fitted and everything is tight. I need to add another screw at the sides, but all bolts underneath are tight.The difference in colour is because the car is disgustingly dirty and I cleaned the lip in the garden before I fitted And this is the small gap either side. Not a huge issue. May get some bond and 2 scissor jacks when the weather picks up. These were the washers I used I have a ton of spire clips and 10mm bolts that fit perfectly if someone else is in need of some. FOC of course.

skymera Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Might look into FM reception issues next.Since I've owned the car I've never had great FM reception. i'm lucky to get one station in my town, otherwise it loops through the whole frequency range. I had this head unit in my previous car and had zero issues. I think I replaced the aerial shortly after I bought it for a Rover 400 one but that made no difference. Hasn't really bothered me as I Bluetooth all my music from my phone but sometimes I miss listening to breakfast shows If anyone is interested, my LastLibreFM profile is here:http://www.last.fm/user/skymerahttps://libre.fm/user/skymera The Last.FM Python export tool and Libre.FM tool appears to be working.

dr_broon Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Mines pretty pants as well, but I thought that it was just because the threaded part of the old aerial snapped inside holder, and I've got no aerial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Not tuned my radio into any stations since the sound system went in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
