Just had one of these fitted in mine after it being recommended on here.
Great value at the moment & much better than having nowhere to put iPhone.

You don't happen to know which adapter was required for the aerial do you? Great value at the moment & much better than having nowhere to put iPhone.

I was thinking of picking one of these up today but didn't want to have to go back for the adapter if I can help it.

Sorry no but if you tell them it has a small aerial plug & needs converting into longer one to fit aerial socket they should know apparently it's a standard item for most cars. I was thinking of picking one of these up today but didn't want to have to go back for the adapter if I can help it.

Think we may have found out why the air con wasn't working.....
Unbelievable the ammount of muck that came out, thats only a fraction of it on the floor!
Would have been a quite a straight foreward job if only one bumper screw hadn't rusted itself well and truely in, and appeared to be made from Kyrptonite.
This could explain why radiators on these keep rotting out so fast. Some mesh and drain holes may see them last a lot longer.Unbelievable the ammount of muck that came out, thats only a fraction of it on the floor!

As for speakers - I'd choose some with rubber cone surrounds like JBL, lots of them have cheap foam that will not like sunlight etc that you may find in a convertible.

Thanks - that was enough to get the right adapter.That said, it seems like I need a wiring converter too - so ill head back to see whether they sell something suitable.

Strange my standard one unplugged & new one plugged straight in. That said, it seems like I need a wiring converter too - so ill head back to see whether they sell something suitable.
For sake of £30 I let them have the hassle.

That'd odd. I think mine has the cd changer and door speakers (which will mean amp too) so perhaps that's the difference? I'll keep my fingers crossed that they had a wiring harness (I was given a £10 voucher with the head unit so hopefully that'll help pay for most of it). For sake of £30 I let them have the hassle.
Then i'm planning to give the front speakers a go. I'd really like to fine some Focal speakers which are shallow enough - I understand 55mm is about the limit in the dash.
What would be even better would be a 3 way component set with a 5' bass unit so that I can replace all of the current speakers.

That sounds like an absolute bargain (and very much like my car but for much less money). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150882545050?ssPageName=...
Cant wait, pick up tomorrow
That said, mine had new RMS, IMS, Clutch and disks/pads to compensate.
Hope it's a good one, and that you have decent weather for the pick up tomorrow!

Log book wasnt in the sellers name, so straight away I wasnt happy
It never had:
Bose
Stability
heated seats
Air con wasnt working. It needs both front condensers.
Oil leak on crankshaft oil seal, only slight but would require attention
Needs all four discs and pads.
Also had rear bumper requiring maching polish at best if not paint.
So not as described, Pistonheads beware when its up again. He offered it to me for £4500, and asked me to offer as he was desperate to sell.
I walked.

The condensers are a simple job and <150 for aftermarket parts (which are pretty much identical to OEM).
Bose sounds crap anyway so there's not much loss there. Heated seats I'd miss, but not a massive show stopper?
The main issue I'd have is the log book. Did he offer a reasonable explanation?
