iNFO ON SAT NAV & RATTLES

[Matrixxxx]

Hi all,

A few of questions,

whats the best option (cheapest) to update my sat nav and which type is it? ive seen a few on eaby.

I have a rattle from the drivers door pillar anyone had this and the fix?

Anyone got an old standard exhaust back section they don't want, i was thinking of modifying it myself, and swapping back to the original; until its where I want it, as i can do the welding myself.

 

2008 model.

i had a rattle in the drivers door pillar on my GS 450h, it was the seat belt mechanism, they took it apart and did something with it

I use a tom tom as frankly the in car sat nav is awful!  in that it doesn't do full postcodes nor have a reliable traffic update and lastly, but importantly in an isf, speed camera alerts. Not that I ever speed you know!

I've got an annoying rattle somewhere inside my front passenger door to address at some point! 

I'd highly recommend grabbing a set of these if you plan to remove trim panels: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bojo-Blue-Genius-Car-Trim-Clip-Pry-Removal-Tool-Kit-10-Piece-With-Tool-Roll-/260873110956?nav=SEARCH

They are easy to use, and less likely to scratch/scuff the soft plastics than screwdrivers.

Have a word with Ian at Hayward & Scott about the exhaust rear section. He gets a few every now and then. I'm sure he'd be more than happy for you to have one, saves him having to scrap it.

Just got a back section from Ian, the back box has very little in it just looks like one pipe in and to output perforated tubes, will have to cut it up to have a better look.  will probably try to run a perforated tube from the input to the two outputs and see what ti sounds like, but may end up with two new straight through back boxes.

Glad you sourced one to play with.

If you want to know how they look inside... Found this on the American LOC site. This one has had a secondary inlet added

 

And now with perf pipe

That is exactly what I am planning to do. Thanks for the pics.

with regard to the rattle from the door pillar, I fixed it inadvertently when cleaning the car with silicone dash cleaner , i spray the rubber door seals to stop them from drying out, and ..  No more rattle.
