Decided to sort something that's been bugging me, my clocks.
I had a set of clocks modified by ray (aRd) a while back but recently two of the display SMDs started flickering then completely died
So I pulled them apart and had a good look over them at work to find it was a dry solder joint on one of the diodes. This was on the same circuit as the other causing them both to go out.
Hooked up to a power source
The offending diode
After a quick blast with the soldering iron
All is well again
My new steering wheel is finally in
I've fitted a Mk5 R32/GTI flat bottomed steering wheel. A straight fit with the wheel but the airbag loom needing to be hybridized so the plugs fitted properly and the horn worked. A new steering wheel bolt was also bought as I'm pretty sure I've had it off six times now.
I've also replaced the steering wheel badge with a rabbit emblem as the VW logo was a bit scratched. I'm not sure if I'll keep the R badge on the bottom or change to a GTI version but I'll see. Oh and I've also ordered some brushed aluminium inserts to fit where the steering wheel controls normally fit. I've got black in there for now so we'll see what they look like.
I also figured out how to change the background on my headunit
