Tony BD08 VTA Remove the number plate holder (two screws) put the winch cover on top, pull the cover over to the front ensuring it doesn't foul anywhere and also fits round the sides, clip the clips on the winch mount, put the number plate back on Job done. Best Regards Andi BG08VFW UK & Ireland Selections Vehicle Fleet Number 1

Dealer says he can't get a dealer car today, Enterprise say nowt but Corsa left. Dealer has said he will sort a better car out tomorrow but I am not impressed.

It was supposed to be ready for 12:00 yesterday but the funny noise turned out to be air con pump so they changed it but car wasn't ready until 16:00. Anyway, picked it up. First impressions are I love it. Because of air con they didn't have time to sort the stuff out they said they would: - * Roof light wiring to fix * Wiper blades need replacing * One of the dog guard fastener bolts is missing (and the guard rattles as a result) * The winch rope is on order and needs fitting * New rubber mats to be fitted * My piano black dash mouldings to be transferred to G4 from my old HSE * Tob bar electrics to be fitted (again from my HSE) * Luggage load cover to be fitted The sunroof obviously doesn't open cos there's a roof rack in the way (!) but should the front parking sensors work or are they disconnected because of the winch and A-bar gubbings? One other question - what should the winch remote be like? It is a cable one witha rocker switch not a wireless remote - is that the right one? All in all I love it - can't wait to use it.

Group: Forum Member Posts: 64, Visits: 612	flinty (31/12/2009) See if TLO from the other forum can help you. I'm believe the part number is VUK500080 Ah, just looked on eBay and they are only £15 so I will grab one (will try TLO first as he is a sound bloke - got iPod connection kit from him previously, would rather give him the business). The dealer just called to say the whining noise on mine wasn't the alternator but was in fact the air con pump and so mine will not be ready as soon as I wanted so now I have to wait until 14:30. Given I was up at 05:00 with excitement this is not good news :D Craig 2007 57 D3 TDV6 HSE in Silver went 31/12/2009 2008 08 D3 TDV6 HSE G4 went 17/02/2012 2012 61 110 Utility XS in black here now - so no orange at the moment..... :-(
