  1. Have you tries Amayama ?
  2. Hello Sam, Welcome to the Forum. This topic has been covered previously. I respectfully suggest you perform some searching in this forum to gain some clarity.
  3. Those rearmost seats are heavy !
  4. Not really. It is an original feature of the car; so that aspect would have been considered by the designers. However, it is the immobiliser; so you can't immobilise (sorry couldn't resist) it; and shouldn't want to!). The symbol, I believe, is the silhouette of a car in black, with a white key inside.
  5. There are two or three MEGATHREADS. You can search on your home page. Or you could search through Teekay's history.
  6. Very WELL DONE Julian, I applaud your persistence. I am so pleased for you and the outcome.
  7. I'm a little surprised, but the 2.4l is a long stroke.
  8. Only 60 horses; but how much torque ?
  9. I believe you are correct. I import goods from Germany for another hobby, and that 135 figure feels familiar. Below 38 value is another threshold !
  10. You only have a four speed, whilst Andy has a 5 speed. Andy is quoting 'slow' motorway driving; what driving style do you have, urban, or motorway ? Even so, the difference does seem rather large. As I mentioned, there are a lot of actuals in the Mega Thread.
  11. Odyssey Carpets (Bournemouth area) sell a more robust carpet set. Several colours. I have rubber checker plate in my rear conversion. I also bought durable rubber mats (don't ask as they came from Spain) that are a good fit for the front foot wells. All colour coded to my leather. looks very nice.
  12. I think there is a Mega Thread on this very subject. The search box is on your home page, top right.
  13. I think, 8 or 10 percent, import tax, and VAT of course; but not sure. Try the internet H M Revenue and Customs.
  14. It depends on where you buy it from ! Which country will it come from ?
  15. You have three very learned members trying to help you; and you reply by being rude. I have Techstream as it is free, although I have not had cause to use it; nor do I have the correct interface cable.
  16. Be careful behind the head unit. It is a mass of cables and wires. You appear to doing everything right! Have you checked the connectivity behind the console ? I assume you have from the photo. Whilst not referring to an Alphie, every RCA video input I have used works without a video signal. After all, that's what RCA is, left audio, right audio, and video. Is there any evidence of tinkering in the van ? Spare leads for accessories removed before export?
  17. The black screen is no surprise (unless you input a video signal. Presumably you have the van stationary and the footbrake is applied. (no footbrake equals no video !) Ignition on ? To be honest, I was going to use the RCA, but never got around to it. Are you sure you are inputting an RCA level signal ? eightseater.blogspot.com (or something similar) does a good tutorial on an HDD head unit. I cannot remember whether he covers the RCA inputs, or not; but it's a good read anyway ! If you have the same HU as I have they are quite complicated. A read will highlight many features and adjustments you can make.
  18. No, you don't. You will almost certainly need a mirror, and ,most likely, the box will be obscured by cabling. I think you will also find, should you need a replacement fuse, they are micro-fuses, just to make life even easier !
  19. Hello May, Welcome to the Forum. Which input are you selecting on the head unit ?
  20. Hello George, Welcome to the Forum. Are you a trader ? If not, there is a section for each category in this forum. Go to Forums (in the blue header on your home page) and check down the list. Traders are not allowed to advertise, or sell through the Forum unless they register for a Trader Account.
  21. Hello Paul, Welcome to the Forum. Have you searched this forum yet ? Members have previously mentioned a couple 'down' south'
  22. As my beloved Father used to say "Brakes are cheaper than Engines or Gearboxes". And I say "Just make sure you don't fry your brakes ! Anyone been to Widdecombe (in the Moor) from Bovey Tracey ? Many drivers roast their brakes on the downhill approach ! !
  23. Perhaps you could try to fit a suitably sized rubber grommet. One without the hole, of course !
  24. Amayama have a part number tool, or send your registration or VIN to Picasso by Private Message. Presumably driver's side ?
  25. Picasso will supply you with part numbers, if he can. What part numbers do you need ? Belt, alternator, both, any other parts ?
