I decided to keep it. So its time to get my head back in the game and get it sorted out and start modding again.

I've got some maintenance stuff to get sorted (Rusty wing, Service, MOT etc) and then its onto the fun stuff, starting with a remap then lows etc.

Wow, these are great prices! But is that for 17s or 18s? Last set of 18s I got a couple of years ago were £125 a corner.

Ah yeah 17's. Apparently they was on offer at the time. I also found out the Police likes the tyres too on their traffic cars etc

Was messing about with my subwoofer wiring earlier and accidentally shorted it. Now my passenger front and rear locking modules are broken :( coincidence? Any advice? Thanks

Took out the head unit to see where a dodgy wire was leading too. Fixed that but still no joy with the head unit. Looks like a new install will be needed

I scanned it and had 01333 and 01332, cleared the codes and scanned again - still there. The central locking wouldn't lock the passenger front or rear, windows wouldn't work either.

Had the car battery disconnected for about 3hrs and now connected it back up and all seems good for now...
