Re: (ChambsT-5R)
Well that would be a solution, true, but if as I did when I wanted one of those, the lady finds all those for sale are in the US of A then she will have to pay import charges and VAT on top of the price when it arrives in the UK where she lives. I know this after buying an amp on EBay only to find the UK customs wanted £24.00 off me just to let me have what I presumed I actually owned, having paid for it. As I had in the meantime totalled the HU803 I had bought on EBay (from a UK seller) by dropping it, I no longer needed the amp so the seller, a fine man, agreed to have it back so Ijust refused to accept it from customs assuming it would be sent back. That was in May '06. Here we are in September '06 and the thing is still sitting in a transport depot in Newport. That's Newport Isle of Wight, England, not Newport, Rhode Island. So there are some pitfalls in buying off EBay if the seller is someone who says 'sidewalk' not 'footpath', drives on the wrong side of the road and thinks creamed corn is a suitable human foodstuff. How do you insert one of those smileys anyway(s)?
However, if one can be found on British Territory (discounting Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Grenada, Bermuda, Gibraltar etcetera ) then that's the way to go. Mind you, then you need the bus cable and if hubby's not too good at DIY about 2 hours labo(u)r at Volvo. And no, Glenda, the bus cable is nothing to do with public transport <Wink, cheeky grin> it's the cable that connects the changer with the radio and transmits the instructions regarding which disc to play and which track. It may be in your '04 V70 already but I doubt it. The power cable should be there in the left hand (passenger) side cargo area behind the bit of trim that has a handle saying 'DO NOT PULL THIS HANDLE OR YOUR CAR WILL EXPLODE' if you bought my brother in law's V70, otherwise it will say something about lowering the rear sear headrests. Behind it is the fuse box and a load of wires. There will be a few wires wrapped up in grey foam spongey stuff. Those are they.
You should have gone to the Isle of Wight for your holiday - all the grockles who come here hit is pheasants. And peasants. ;-)
Please take the foregoing in the spirit is is intended. Joy to the world - if you can't take the pi$$ then there's no use living ;-)
PS, Stephen, your car looks very nice. What bit saw I of it ;-)
