I've bought a couple of parts from them. ABS module & RNS-E from manual converted estate. Was this once yours?
A little note on the providence of your 'new' parts:
- It was an ABS fault that brought about the tank-slapper I had when putting it into Armaco, I'm pretty certain Bilko replaced the ABS module.
- The RNS-E was actually transparented from Darth.
Parts were from the same seller, however the ABS module was taken from a 'Silver Saloon Auto' and the RNS-E was taken from 'Manual converted silver estate'. Maybe Bilko still has the code for the radio if he's still about! The head unit arrived today. Looks in good condition but not plugged it in yet. I read in the original 'darth' post he was having issues with it so hopefully its not a dud!

I had to replace the RNSE in the manual, code should be written on top. I never replaced the ABS module but did replace the faulty yaw sensor. I gave up on the car as to be honest the whole conversion was a bodge.

That's what I said to bum_bum the first time I saw it. It was a game changing car, but really poor execution.

Thanks Bilko! Yes, the code is on the top. Can I ask what you used to get the bluetooth working on it? Sorry to hear about the issues. Sad to see it go.

Bluetooth was not fitted to that car, I have retro fitted a bluetooth module to my other RS6. It's quite easy, just get a module and wiring loom from eBay.

Can kind of tell its a bodge by looking at the bits for sale. And bloody hell the guy wants a lot!

I wouldn't buy the engine as MRC ground so much of the block away to make a starter motor fit. The guy had to have it welded up as the block had cracked. The seats were good though.
