If you're...

PM for you Jaba.

Except that the inner cable is multistranded not solid core. Realistically any type of screened...

Hi. My red 19 TXD has had this problem since I've had it. (7 years). When the weather is warm you don't really notice it but as it gets colder you...

Its only a 10mm nut and as long as the radio is not coded its probably wise.

The correct name is, sandpaper. The sugar is wrong.

How do you get the rail out? Can you put the rail from the right side door to the left side?

Fair point about needing a scope for the coil.
