djck 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 Got to replace a broken aircon pipe, part no 60666986, run outa dosh to get it fixed at £180, is it a big deal or fairly straight forward and where is the best place to source one, as yet I don't even know what they look like. That's job no 1, as Veloces will re-charge the system for free, if I get a move on, nice guys! Front suspension to follow and water in the cabin too. I'm also looking for an undertray, mine's gone! The list goes on but that's enough to start with 'sept I'm trying to rig up my iPhone to work through the HU without spending much!!! Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
