  1. When i brought my car the first thing I noticed were how faded the plastic piller trims were and the 2 trims that run down the sides of the front windscreen were just as bad, you can buy the trim cover replacements for the doors that also supply the triangle sections on the back doors mainly in chrome and black if you can find them, I wanted black as my car is silver but none available at the time. So brought some black vinyl and started with the pillers, I removed the trim from the car so I could lose the vinyl wrap around the back of the trim. Then I did the two triangle bits on the back doors again removing from the doors, I was very pleased with the result that I did the door mirror sections and finally removed the front windscreen trims and vinyl wrapped them, with time and patience I was very happy with the result..they have been on the car for over a year now and still look brand new, all for the cost of £20. Makes a big difference to the car and well worth the effort.
  2. I was driving along and had a bang from the back of the car, felt like I ran over something quite big, lost all drive and coasted to the side of the road. Turned the car off and restarted and had the 3 lights come on the dash, abs,esp and traction control, the car still drove fine if somewhat sluggish and held onto lower gears more than normal, so popped to my local garage who read the codes, it all pointed to the offside rear sensor and ring, got both replaced and the dash lights went out and the car also drove normally again. It's not an expensive job to fix, sourced both the sensor and ring for £25 and £60 to fit. Just waiting for the rear nearside to fail now...
  3. It's true by disconnecting the plug in the engine bay the problems with the radio, wipers and reversing lamps have all gone away. I did for a week reconnect the plug and the issues came back, so up with the bonnet and off with the plug again.. so is it a simple swap out of the Hid module to cure this problem.. Just started to have a new problem with the radio/sat nav whereby the unit stays on but I lose the screen (goes blank) sometimes it comes back but most the time it's blank, radio works fine and volume etc, but it's a pain if you wanna change something
  4. I too have recently been having this problem whereby the radio goes off/on/off/on repeatedly and the wiper does the same and the reverse sensors have a disco, so with your advise I have disconnected the plug in the engine bay and will see how the car performs over the next couple of days. I will let you know if that solves the problem.
  5. Hi, Recently brought a 300c back in Nov 16. Always loved the look of these cars so been running my silver crd since then with no major issues. So far added Chrysler stitched floor mats Rear boot spoiler Chrysler etched door sill protectors Wind deflected Next want to change the standard 18s wheels for some 20s if I can find a cheap set
