Lol i like the chuck norris bit. Shame he hasn't realised it is a MK3.
Has anyone seen a pool of fluid under their car from the climate control? Yesterday my mrs parked up at work and there was what she described as a "flood" of fluid. The garage around the corner said it was just condensation from the climate control, is this common?
I've told her to keep an eye on the temps and pull over if anything changes.

Yes. I worried about it the other day till i got reminded about having my aircon on. Perfectly normal.
Yep perfectly normal, the condensation from the dehumidification process has to go somewhere.

Where did you buy your LED replacement bulbs from Howard?

Ebay. Can't be more specific than that I'm afraid! I bought the brightest ones I could

Some old chap in his ST gave me the thumbs up today. I was humbled.

Probably thought you was in a 220

Running my aircon more has reminded me that my auto belt tensioner (I think) is on the way out. Another bill, sad times

Isn't your AC on all year round? I never touch my climate control panel.
Got to work this morning to find one of my jacking point covers dangling from its thread. I thought I heard something knocking on the way in.
Bloody things - time to re-introduce the heat gun and bend them back into shape. I'd buy some fresh new ones if they weren't about £20 EACH

Hence why mine doesn't have any. No way would i pay £80+ for such plastic.
Oh if it didn't have any then I'd have to buy some.. Christ But they just seem to warp over time and not fit as tightly it seems! None have fallen off completely yet..

Mine are in pretty bad shape and one is badly warped also. How do they get warped in the first place?
Can't get my new double-din stereo to fit properly - it won't go all the way back into the cage. It's either catching on the angled ceiling of the hole or the thick cables are getting trapped behind.

Got a strange squeaking at very low speed from my front left, any ideas what it might be? Disc doesn't seem excessively hot, so don't think it's something binding in the pad. Possibly just a normal thing that I'm only noticing because I actually drive with the windows open at the moment?
I wish I knew. I heat mine up and bend them occasionally which makes them a tighter fit.
I envisaged this to be one of the problems of fitting a double-DIN unit. If you look at the OE Sony unit, you can see the front is at an angle so it's flat where the metal chassis angles downwards.
I had this trouble, I got a hacksaw and cut out a bit of the plastic dashboard "skeleton" at the back and to the left.
Can you not see where it gets stuck as you slowly push it in? How much farther does it need to go?
When does / doesn't it do it other than when going slowly?
