Motors Chat - Round 7

Alanstrainor

Continuation from motors chat round 6

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

Ah crap That's awful... poor little man. As a parent of a little fella myself (albeit a few years older) I couldn't imagine how the parents must feel.

Indeed, its one thing I hope i never have to face

On another note.. anyone know anyone that might take on fitting an OEM Bluetooth setup to a 05 A6 if I sourced the parts? (Dublin area preferred)

I've dealt with bmstuff found him very good knows his way around BMW's anyway, I've seen work on a few other BMW's and it's neat.

Germaniks is the name of the company.

Yep, all standard ones are wired to the handbrake.
I had mine playing top gear 24/7 though

Quick question, is it illegal to watch TV/DVD's on head units in cars? Not that I would, more if a passenger is.

Foxhole Norman

Mine has some huge first aid kit in it, probably all out of date though :pac:

Bpmull

Also seen the bit that left hanging the strap is for the first aid kit. More things to have to get although I do have a first aid kit but it's a big box one a more compact one would be better.

joujoujou

Bingo!

Bpmull

I just spotted this picture online looks like a warning triangle I think.

joujoujou

Where's warning triangle by the way? Plastic clip would hold it maybe.

Jack and wheel brace?

Or fire extinguisher maybe?

The jack and wheel brace are under the floor in the spare wheel well in one of the polystyrene things.

Could well be for a fire extinguisher

Could well have been some extra that came with the car but I don't know a lot about VW's so I really wouldn't have a clue.

A wild guess but it may be to strap something down. :pac:

The black plastic piece that clips seems like it's for something to fit into although it looks a bit small for a first aid just wondering was there something that came with them new that sat into it.

Bpmull

Anyone know what this is for its in the boot corner it has a strap and a hard plastic piece that clips closed. Anyone any ideas what it's for.

maybe this is a stingy way to look at it, but you must remember, all you really need is a good 2.5 engine, if it happens to come with a free 166 attached, then all the better.

any issues that then come about with the free 166 can be made good with parts from your old one.

the whole fun of the ownership experience imo is the messing and tinkering with it, spending endless Saturdays tidying up all those loosed ends and odd jobs, you'l probably find you'd get bored very quick if you jump straight in and buy a "mint" one.

keep the build thread updated either way. it's usually a good read

Well it needs another few bits and pieces too that don't sound that serious but are crazy labour intensive. I just don't have the energy to work on a 166 anymore, they're just dreadful to work on they really are!

What I want to be able to do is polish one and make it look nice

and do little bits and pieces to make it more enjoyable to drive not trying to make it drive at all!

There's a small possibility I'll have another 166 today! So watch this space
