| Enjoy it. I think there are plenty of people who are happy with their units. I don’t think I can bring myself to purchase the same thing again. If I’d had a better experience of the hardware or su ... |

Hi,
I’ve noticed that there looks to be a new android based head unit which comes with a 9.7” screen. Don’t suppose anyone has had a go with one yet? Thinking of swapping the xtrons unit out ... |

Hi all,
I'm very much hoping that someone can shed some light on some electrical oddities which have been growing in number on my 2009 XS and are starting to drive me to drink.

@nodge68, yes - you’re correct I mean the drls, not the sidelights which of course don’t exist in the mk3 lights.

I've recently swapped the mk1 FL2 headlights for the mk3 - both halogen units. The newer set taken from a 2013 car - no signiture strip, just the led-spots.
I've noticed that the spots have a flick ... |

Hi Colin,
Are these still available? Could you give me an idea of just how 'plug and play' these will be for my 2009 model? I realise I'd need to get the CCF updated from halogen to xenon but from ... |

Hi,
My 2009 could do with some replacement bonnet struts - there’s only so many times you can allow it to drop on your head whilst working in the engine bay!
