last week i noticed a noise when going round a roundabout think its the wheel bearing and can now hear it when going round right hand bends so it needs sorting out is it a job a diyer can do on the driveway was also wondering whether i can replace the hub assembly instead of just the bearing as i don't have a bearing press

Buying the colour as per your car specification is obviously the correct starting point, but the leather colour does change with age, so some further mixing is likely to be needed for a perfect match.

after the first clean i had loads of visible cracks but they did tone done by the next day, i have now cleaned them again and the cracks are barely visible, so not sure whether to put any dye on them now because as you said leather does change slightly with age. so going to leave it for now and see how they look in a few weeks

I have a motorola TK30 and it works lovely, the display sits nice just under the centre vents and the mute/answer button on the steering wheel answers calls. 

can stream music to it too.

had a look at this Bovril, do you need any special leads/ loom cables to use the steering wheel controls

Hi

Have a look on ebay, I bought one that came as a kit, My car has Ivory leather and the kit I got worked great

it came with every you need cleaner, dye and sealer, selection of sponges and polishing cloths

find out what color your leather is exactly first, or it will look odd after

mine had a small bit of cracking on the drivers side bolster, where you get in and out, you cant tell now

cheers

Joe

joe, would you have the product name or seller id please, i need to double check but believe my leather is ivory also thanks

Hi there unless you are looking at going down the factory fitted phone setup the best after market set up is a parrot hands free system, as you will gain the ability to stream music from phone etc

dont want the factory fitted ones, been looking at the parrot systems they seem ideal thanks

got my x type home today from dealer thought i would get to know it a bit better and gave it a good thorough wash and noticed the paint work feels really gritty, after a bit of internet searching i am now considering using a clay bar, just wondering if anyone here has used them  

need help/advice please, picked up my 2007 x type se today, ( very happy) when i touch the phone button it states no phone fitted, tried the 1313 code no help,looked in menu no help there either so i have been looking at handsfree setups.... now very confused....recommendations for handsfree kits would be appreciated. thanks

Old Peter, thankyou, after reading some other posts had a look on amazon they have one for under £30, picking car up saturday so will have a proper play around over weekend

does the sat nav on an 07 x type have spain maps if not can i purchase them, its the one thing i didnt check on our test drive today and cannot find any info online, thanks in advance.
