    On the plus side, The wife (H&S officer) had a 08 Mercedes 3.0d V6 with the fully loaded, since we bought the 3.5 Vellfire she commutes to work in it every day and doesn't bother with the Merc at all.

    There is one particular importer in Birmingham who sells them as if it were a one off thing (by-pass any obligations) yet keeps putting them up on FB and offers zero warranty or guarantee's but there are others who will offer a 3 year warranty...

    Something to consider to make life easier:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121671370698?hash=item1c542dc7ca:g:EqEAAOSwC1tlEAvt&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4IWyommGAUcE1ZiWm3vwHm7yQrGNYGJvk6KPa7TmBpe9ZEkWcmo%2FMYQD%2BlRxE1h%2B1VB8ga%2BNX0OCXwEVMsglWAfYkORjCvyJtc1yMOZnVp8nMEQJyrVh6QsX8fprxS6vDw%2B0XDLzNrM88ZQbvcZvJBtAm1sadPWtt%2BqVnciFiLLUcVxnEWWVtYK8IbLYJj5mpIeRVrJ731SWiCZwLgp9QdhjYdoBfRg2PCLufo9x5vhFLFK5r2SHsasw8kVqvNiDQWxmoLDzy3I%2FVa3bdFc0j%2Bl9y0AHGPSXbMnhFxy7i%2BUo|tkp%3ABFBMvriQj49j

    Hi, I have the MKII Vellfire and was wondering about upgrading the 2 roof light strips to colour changing and a little brighter. Has anyone have any experience with these and what would be involved as far as power supply etc.

    Hi charlie, welcome to the search and rescue site lol.

    Is there a digital version of the manual?

    I did message JCB many months ago as to why they sourced the Hydrogen from abroad when it can be produced in this country thereby reducing the carbon footprint, never got an answer. My other question was why they didn't look at Hydrogen on demand with a small reserve start-up tank... never got an answer.

    Thought the title would grab someone's attention, but seriously how long before they supply kits for the public?

    with an android head unit already fitted in the car I am at a loss as to what to do about the redundant roof monitor, its the wide screen type, is it suitable for anything at all? Would prefer to take it out and put something useful up there instead, any ideas, the car is all dark interior with lounge seats.

    On the subject of which am I the only one who thinks the speedo needle is too chunky? When trying to keep to a specific like like 30 the needle almost completely obscures the number and its difficult to tell if the car is doing 28 or 32, sounds a bit trivial but do you know if there is a slimmer needle...

    That one lacks the chrome strip along the edge.

    Looking for a centre console (silver dash) in anticipation that the existing one is going to break when I remove it as it has already been assaulted previously. It is the '08-14 Vellfire. as long as the chrome trim edge is good it should be ok.
  13. dave murrell
    Thank you Chris, The car has only been in the country a few weeks and the head unit was replaced for an android unit, could be that the plug you mention was left unplugged by accident hence no illumination, will take the centre panel off the weekend and take some pics as well. As for that dashcam unfortunately it does not come on unless there is some magic swear word I need to utter 🤔

    Thanks again paul. Just realised that there is an airbag inside the A pillar that has to come off for the stick-on aerial...

    ...And this is what it looks like outside just to the right of the white sticker.
  17. dave murrell
    It is expensive for about 6 led and a piece of acrylic, would it take much to make one I wonder... But now another mysterious object looms behind the rear view mirror and I dont know if this can be removed or best left in, anyway it looks like this inside, just laft of the square sticker.

    Wife took it to work again lol, says a lot when her car is a 2008 Mercedes S class 3lt V6. Probably have to look at it the weekend but it does seem odd that apparently you can buy an illuminated transparent gadget to put under the shifter to light up the gateway but I am unable to find anyone in the UK that sells them.
  19. dave murrell
    Thanks for paul, will pull it apart when the wife pulls herself away from it 😁

    Does anyone know if the gear shift gate is supposed to be illuminated or the letters back lit when side lights are on because in the dead of night its a sort of "its round here somewhere" sort of guess work.
  21. dave murrell
    Thank you very much for that Picasso.

    Bought a DAB+ dongle ready for the weekend, also there are already 4 aerials in the front window when we bought the car but unsure what they are. And I have noticed there is one that covers the offside rear window next to the 3rd row!
  23. dave murrell
    Just picked on this thread and I have a couple of question's. How easy is it to run the coax from the roof rear to the head unit. Are the shark fins on fleabay any good at £5/6. Is there an easier alternative to the shark fin for the FM reception.
  24. dave murrell
    I dont mind if it just mirrors the front unit as long as it shows signs of life lol, it would better than nothing.
  25. dave murrell
    Does that mean that the 2 cannot be paired by cable or that it simply will not work?
