i finally have music in my car...
last september i bought a cd player from halfords, not a cheap one it was around £130 and had them wire it in for me... all was happy until it stopped working..
i went back 2 weeks ago and they said its not the headunit (without testing it) 'its your wiring in your car'.
so i bought all new wire,crimping pliers, connectors,new iso, car loom and fitted it all myself it still didnt work so i went back to halfords and made them test the unit .... FAULTY!

bit of a rant over, but atleast i know my wiring is good now and uses plugs not just wire to wire!

they charge an arm and a leg to fit the stereo aswell,

thats halfords excellent build quality and customer service for you :/

well the wiring was done like as a favour (bloke who did it had a mini) but wasnt very good, thats probs why it broke!
all done nicely now tho

all they did was test it in store (the second time i went down there) and then i did the rest myself
on that note, how do i get a ticket for L2B??

If you don't have one already I think your only chance is to keep an eye on here for someond that can't go. I understand all tickets have now been allocated.

Luigi89 - where in kent are you from?

Also re L2B, if possible, I will be going on the L2B run but not officially as I dont have a min. I'll be parking at crystal palace in the car park next to the arena and waiting for the mini's to start leaving. Won't be able to get a run plaque but can get a t-shirt. Just a vague plan at the moment though as I'm not sure what to do with the car when we get to brighton. Could park up at my uni and get a bus, but then i suspect public transport will be chaos thanks to you pesky minis

anyway, you can always come with that way if you dont get a ticket.

The car park at the end of the Marina is quite good if you're not an offical 'runner'

[oli8925]

As in the multistory? Could go there, didn't think about that one. I would try to get there early and park and long the road but I'm sure they've introduced Sunday parking fees, and at the usual silly prices.
