    ha, awesome, I just found out if I did the centre exhaust or not, and I did, and guess what? Bought it of DJ MArco!

    lol thats good news :P

    did find that the radiator wasnt fassend at one end oops lol sorted now

    er….hmmm...wonder if this is from when I painted the cross bar last year, or when I took the air con condensor out? sorry bud!



  • How I get me a sticker? and nice car bud, glad to see you back in a three again.



  • Jay - is that a standard backbox? It looks clean, is in good condition i.e no blowing or major rust?

    Would you consider parting for sale with it if you are intending on replacing yours?



  • "get the fuel light working"

    Do 3's have low fuel lights?

    Oh yes they do :)



  • that Backbox was new when I bought it later 2010 (December). The outlets have been treated with temperature paint so should be good.



  • @6d2c041f96:

    Oh yes they do

    Where though? Could someone illustrate where I can find it please? I guess mine might not be working as I have never seen one on the dash.

    TIP

    try using panel wipe or a mild degreaser(turps maybe)? Make sure its not too strong and melts paintwork by trying a bit of paint not seen (inside of door)

    Soak foam in panel wipe using a rag or tissue, it should soften the glue, get a PLASTIC filler spatula and scrape at foam, it should get rid of it. You will probably need to re apply a few times depending on how much foam is remaining on paintwork, but it should get it off eventually
