Climate control unit

Post by steve2003rs6 » Fri Mar 27, 2020 12:18 pm

The + and - buttons on my unit were looking a bit grubby with fingernail scratch marks and letting the interior down.
Bought a cheap broken unit from Lithuania with good buttons.
Using a feeler gauge at the top of the button the button just flips out. And the replacements just push back in.
No need to remove the radio or the climate control unit.
Took 5 mins and what a transformation.

Ps. If you pay for the fuel I will personally deliver it.
Would love a long drive in my pride and joy but perhaps Africa is a bit too far ???????

That's over 8500 miles - imagine what the fuel consumption & bill might be.

Oh rad! Yeah, I am based in Port Elizabeth. Another user on here is based in Durban. I think you referring to a "braai" otherwise known as a barbecue/barbeque for most of the world. :beerchug:
