I just got back from from Toowoomba and had a short stay in Ipswich. If you decide to drive further up north, take the exit off Noosa. Beer's always cold

Any other time, and you'd be calling the cops to separate me from the beer fridge. Unfortunately, I am here for my dad's funeral, and it's between pays, leaving me bugger all wiggle room. Hope the offer is still there next trip!

So proud of my Astra, made it here from Sydney using only 1 1/2 tanks of petrol.

I reset the Trip when I filled up at Coff's Harbour with 40L of BP95:

Ah, that sucks mate, sorry to hear. No problem.

Well, my rear drivers side window (power window) is broken, while putting it up today, I heard a snapping sort of sound, and the window no longer goes up or down, well, it does go down, by itself while driving down the road, love the new Aircon!

Anyone know what I am up for to fix this, how hard it is to fix, and what is needed?

Using 100m/h tape to hold it up from the inside for the moment, then when I get paid, it will be a high priority, as my car can now be accessed via the window :/

Hey Guys,
Just wondering, for the electronic's illiterate, is there anywhere that can change the LED bulbs in the heater controls (white filter) and clock (don't know about filter, so got two) I was hoping to send them away, get the LED's swapped over, and sent back, the clock and heater controls are the only two Crazy LED's don't do...
Also, how to check filter on the clock? If it came from a car with white filter/diffuser on heater controls, does that mean white filter on clock?

How did you know it had a white filter? My 05 came with orange filters everywhere, speedo, heater, MFD. I had to order a heater control without a filter from eBay, I took out the filter for my MFD and replaced it with paper, it worked surprisingly well

Lol, I shamelessly pulled out the radio and empty din of 6 cars, until I found one. It's a 10 wire plug, so I am hoping mine is too, all the rest were orange filters.

Are you talking about the whole unit? Or just the front black panel?
Because the black panel with the filter in it is easily detachable

Not too sure what you mean, I am talking about finding a heater control panel with white filter (as per the Blue and White sticker on the front, in order to find it I removed the cars radio, completely, including the cage, and the tissue box din thing, after this I was able to push the heater control box in, after releasing the clips, revealing the sticker, barely through the radio unit gap.

The MFD, I have no idea wether it has a white filter, nor how to check, so I grabbed two, when I got it home, I shined an LED torch through the bulb gaps, and it came out a greyish colour, so I'm hoping they are both white filters.

As I have a 02 TS there is a 90% chance apparently that I have orange filters in my car. I have ordered the T5 blue LEDS in the correct size from the UK, so hope they a) fit and b) are bright enough, the only way I will be able to tell I guess is to install them in my car, or find the power wires and connect them to 12v.

I ordered mine from Crazy LEDS and they're bright enough! Haha
With the MFD, you basically have to part disassemble the until to find/replace the filter.
