Went to sort stereo out ..a place near me that only does in car entertainment and accessories …

Had to go in and ask someone ( who was sat chatting to his mate  evil:) …

Finally guy wonders over …glances in the car …and says it your speakers ..bring it back this afternoon …

It’s not the fucking speakers .. cussing:  and without”popping out “ the head unit there is zero way of knowing .. cussing:

I know this as when I decided car stereos I occasionally fitted them ….

The thing was …if the unit was knackered ..I was gonna buy a multimedia  all singing / dancing new head unit..

Well they lost that sale … Thumbs:
