rado does this remote not work with the 810 radio in your photo?
850 T-5R Wagon Improvement Thread
Johnno_ Looks the part in person, happy with the results. i have a couple of other items in mind that i must get around to purchasing
One of which is an all black RIP kit but this goes against my philosophy to keep it 'factory' but it would also compliment the tune and perhaps my turbo pipes are tired and worn out anyway,
morch_66479
The one for sale ? Apparently that one works on the 801 not 810
morch_66479 Was factory on the 94 T5 models, got updated in 95 due to ice build up issues folk lore has it

Silly question alert:
Why doesn't the original T-5R pouch fit in the little slot in the glovebox?
I've removed all files from the pouch and only goes in a little bit and gets wedged.
I've also tried rotating 90 degree - it goes in but they glovebox door won't close.
Surely this should just fit in without any issue?
I've never tried mine , I keep it safe in the house..
They won't hold much paperwork if you want them to fit , just put basic factory and purchase paperwork in them they'll fit ok
242GT yea your right but in the original post is problem with mine is: it doesn't fit even when i remove all the paperwork.
Is it embossed with T5-R top right corner
242GT sure is. The original T-5R service pouch
Thought I'd try one of mine to see if it fits ...
... no problems here .

rado I have no idea why mine wont fit. Super strange.
A few more little updates, more parts arrived from GCP to sort out more little details. The other big job on the To Do list is to replace the rear main seal. I was under the impression that the entire engine and box would need to be dropped and thought it would be a good time to install this japanifold i picked up but just found out the engine isn't being dropped. Need to figure out how awkward of a job it would be to replace with engine intact? Anybody ever done it before?
GCP items:
More Resin 3D printing of NLA parts - door lock bushes and wiper shaft covers.
Not sure of the long term durability of these parts but happy to print and sell some on if anybody needs? It took some time to get the resin mixture correct to have enough flexibility etc.
Side trim removal - degrease, wash, polish.... that's better!!
I discovered more excess wiring in the ceiling, it was scotch clipped into the rear boot light harness and ran up above the RR door. No idea what it was used for as it just came to a dead end.
Not a bad sight to wake up to in the morning!! haha
Nice work on the DIY printed parts!
jamesinc thank you. Hopefully they withstand the test of time!
Always a highlight for me ….."What has Morch done this week?"
A little bit of sunchronicity, I just noticed this morning that the V40 "orange bits" had faded down to that weird.shade of pink. Might have to get some of these for the next Skandix bulk order.
I've got some of those release buttons new
242GT are they for an R or T-5R because apparently they're slightly different?
Mine were also new - nkcetouch
- Edited
The ones I have are brand new and for T5-R , I've got an 850R which are different

HEATED SEATS:
My front heated seat stopped working so I had a quick look underneath to discover that the 2 wires lead to the heated seat pads had snapped off. Assuming from all the years of moving the set back and forth.
I temporarily repaired it but ideally would like to come across a new (NOS) harness. This temporary fix doesn't seem to work and neither does my passenger heated seat 
I also had issues with the memory function on my seat. But that turned out to be a loose connector - fixed
I also stumbled across a rear heated seat kit in the UK. I reached out to the seller first and went to bed shortly after. I woke up in the morning and the seller had sold it to someone else even though I was first to express interest. I've lost out on a few items like this now 
Does good karma exist?
