Re: Welcome Seymour

Always enjoy reading Seymour updates and a cassette holder is a massive thumbs up ! Was there a choice of cassette holders as I remember one with an LCD for outside temp.... even though the Info Centre has an outside temp (?) - or am I getting confused with something else? :bla: There was!

Re: Welcome Seymour

Phone goes in centre armrest, away from temptation (and 3 penalty points)

Load up those cassettes, there's something rather nostalgic about listening to tapes in the car!

Re: Coat hangers

I looked at making repro’s but it’s the material that’s the problem. It’s a soft rubber.
I’ve some links for someone who did a variety of it, rather than a reproduction. Can dig them out if you want?

Edit: link as promised

LED headlamps

For ever good product out there that I've been able to find, there's 100:1 ratio crap ones. LED's, are absolutely in this category. I've tried literally 100's of them trying to find the elusive good ones. Dashboards bulb, to sidelights, brakelights, headlamps and spotlamps, I've tried them all. Most...

If your CEM is kaput, there's a guy who lives in Billingham near me, who can repair them. All he needs to know is which function isn't working and a few days to turn it around.
Ooo PM his details, I could send him one or 50….

Re: Project Volvo 480 Electrical Gremlins Galore

Welcome aboard! What year car is it?

There's only 2 CEM's - The CEM1 and the CEM3.

1's are notorious and very difficult to source.

Re: Rear lamp Seals / Marker light seals / Headlamp Hinges / knobs / clips / Footwell lamps /Roller Blind

How much for the rear lamp seals. Now, in true "get poor slowly" fashion, both of these products will be being sold at cost price, because, after the expense of having a tool made, the next expense is the material they're pressed from. Which you buy in Rolls - BIG ROLLS, which means that even if I ...
