if it's a battery powered stat make sure you google how it re-connects if the batteries need replacing - even with the documentation mine is a nuisance to do, nothing major just exasperating

Cheers. Will do. I have the manual here to refer to also

as long as you have the manual you're golden

Back on topic, I fiddled around with the exhaust on my wife's Yaris, it fell off

Won a cheap can off Ebay, so fitted it after work. Sounds very nice

Mum's wireless stat was so unreliable I fitted a good old fashioned one.
Not a easy task to get a loom to it but it is done and saving money and emission s.

I'd normally go for the simplest solution but getting the wiring to our living room would be a pain. I've left the original in place so I can revert back if needed.

Our stat was in an awkward spot which meant wireless was the best solution - it's been fine for 14 years now (apart from when the batteries get replaced, as mentioned before)

Car exhaust now replaced, not bad going as the garage reckoned the one that fell to bits was the original, 13 y/o one!

Any troubles lining yours up with the fixing holes? My right side was fine but just put r&g bungs on and it won't centre with the centre fixing hole.
