Hey all, bought this from Shafz a few months back. I fitted it but then took it out because I never really used it. Here is a pic...

It's really easy to fit and took me about 5-10 mins, just 3 wires to plugged in, I can send you a piccy of where they have to go. It will come boxed and with some other stuff in the box like instructions and stuff.

I just searched for the thread as it was a few months back when i bought it off Shafz and it said 30 quid posted is what i bought it for so i'll do it for 28 posted as I hardly used it. Any takers?

Hi Carmadbaker :)

Yup projects into on the windscreen. Here is a vid of one in action (Nick off the MG ZR forum has the same one and this is a video he made of one:) ...

I like it, but TBH i don't fancy (couldn't be bothered) taking the dash apart to fit it.

I'm not completely sure about the ZS but in my MK2 ZR it was really easy to fit, just had to take the speedo surround off and then take out 3 or 4 screws to lift the speedo unit out and put the wires in place. Took around 10 minutes :)

I will buy it from you mate, how does an offer of £25 posted sound? If its OK, PM me your PayPal address and I will send the money over tonight.

Cheers.

Hi, Bilco has prov. bought it. If the deal falls through I will let you know but I would want the full 28 pounds as these cost over 60 quid new :)

Thanks :)

Ok mate no worries.

They are actually under £50 posted brand new. Yours will 3rd hand so knocking £2 off your price is fair enough, my offer of £25 still stands.
