    next question, is it worth upgrading my highline tv setup to one of these?

    plus points as far i can see:
    they look fancy
    my cd drive for the satnav is missing from the car and the analogue receptor won't work forever

    negatives as far as i can see:
    none if it works
    Hello and welcome!
    I have one and am very satisfied with it, works and sounds very good. I'm sure someone nearby can give you a demonstration.

    Welcome along. My head unit, though a differing, model uses igo8 satnav software too, and I can say that it's very good. My head unit is a pioneer, however the one your looking at looks better In the 260.

    Again welcome and happy good times.

    Welcome, they are great fun and quirky car's. I have had the Double Dim unit and it is fine, I sold my one a few days ago, I am not sure it looked great in the car but then that is a personal choice. There is a new android unit that some of the 75 & ZT people have. That has more toys, but more importantly looks more like the BMW E46 unit that I think suits the car better.

    Have a look on here http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/ under the ICE section and then the Double Dim Units. Sean is the man who supply's them and is the seller you listed on ebay.

    If anywhere close-ish to the Midlands visit Nick & Jean at Austin Garages, sure all the rest of the guys will tell you, he knows every inch of the 260 and is worth it just for a once over as well as any work you need.

    Dominic

    cheers guys. first priority, get the car back!!!!

    the replacement OEM part is taking an age to arrive so i am hoping that all my membership stuff can come through here in time to allow me to buy the (half the price) club replacement!

    i'm relatively open- minded about the cost of the replacement satnav etc as i see the car as a keeper.

    just as ballpark, if the option i found on ebay is £330, give or take, what do they go up to at the superfandango end of the market?

    TIA as ever

    Welcome along Ant, pity about the hose so close to buying the car. Hope it has not left a negative about the car, its going to grow on you.
