Changing the fan speed switch for an earlier one?

Evening all!

Strange one here folks, but is it possible to swap the dash control for the fan speed for one that has an 'OFF' setting from an earlier one?

When sat in traffic hearing the fan going away at Speed 1 is annoying lol

Would one with the O on the face actually work/fit ok?

Got some lovely LED bulbs for the DLRs from SpreeLED the other day. They are a million times better than what were in there before, and to anyone thinking 'Oh, your pop ups won't work properly!' Wrong! They work just as they did before, and they won't get anywhere near as hot obviously so are less l...

Well if they were worth more then less people would be able to enjoy them.

Re: Sealing the rear lights

Yeah I just bought some off of Joep who reproduces selected parts.

They cost about 30€ posted and my car doesn't seem to leak with them on so that's good.

PM me if you want his e-mail.

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

So I got the tyres swapped over like I said I would. I like the colour scheme (black/chrome on red) but I'm not convinced on the design, probably swap them in another 3/4 months lol http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/AcidicDavey/95%20480%20Celebration/11-02-13004_zps95b3dd63.jpg http://i722.ph...

Re: Damper and springs question.

If your ride height is different on each side it could be a duff damper, damaged spring etc.
Change both sides and you might as well renew the top mounts too while you're there :)
