Battery takeing some chargeing today, o yeah not used to twist control left lights on for 2hrs
Think I have found why it was pulling left = drivers side front tyre 40psi, drivers side rear 35psi, passenger rear 32psi, passenger front 18psi, spare 8psi. all are set at 32psi for the minute so I can monitor them before I swop the wheels.
noticed the plastin on boot back panel is broken and the boot lid struts are f**cked Gonna try fit some I have here.
Has any one ever fitted 6*9 in the rear of these will I need to make any mods that will affect returning to standard
