I have just purchased a new run about wagon/tow car so I am removing the roofracks & towbar from the Stag.

They are just no longer needed now I have a larger falcon wagon to do all my towing/transporting stuff. Which means now I can concentrate on modifying it. Anyways...

Towbar was made by Towbars of Woden & is rated at 2000kg (have paperwork)

Roofracks are Thule items and are rated at 75kg each bar I believe.

Towbar $550

Roofracks $250

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

Give you a better offer?

Mate as the seller here I think you should be making me an offer lol.

What sort of roofracks were they at Repco? Garuntee they wern't Thule, not at that price anyway.

$200 I will let them go. I won't be matching an inferior products price sorry.

BTW these roof racks have key locks and are adjustable. Once locked they can not be moved and are 100% secure & safe.

Hey mate, just a quick question did you buy the towbar for the car or was it previously fitted when you bought it? I am just wondering at what cost it was to build and install.

Cheers

gee thanks.... STILL had the money here ready to go and someone to pick it up straight away... thanks for keeping me in the loop there.

that's life i spose.....

D.

Sorry mate.

I had like 8 people interested and all were waiting for me to remove it.

I have been answering PM's for the last month or so explaining that as soon as it is off the car I will let them know.

I had even refused several peoples deposits because I was not 100% sure exactly when I would have the item removed.

I didn't want to commit to a sale and take a deposit and stuff the person around for weeks because I didn't have the time to remove it.

Anyway, I pulled it off today, updated the post stating it is 100% available on a 1st come 1st serve basis.

I started replying to PM's that it was ready to go but I had to wait several minutes between posts and this was too time consuming

(I am a busy man hence the length of time before I could remove the towbar). And I sold it to the 1st person that comitted to buying it. I am sure there is another 7 people peed off with the situation also, but I feel I did the right thing by not committing any sales before it was actually ready to be sold (hence no promises or deposits taken).

You had it advertised 8 weeks ago! :/ Of course people will be upset when you advertised it 8 weeks ago. What did you expect?

You words were:

To first buyer with $$$. I WILL NOT hold for 6 months while you try and sell your camira to pay for them etc.

But they had to wait around for you to get off your ass??? :domokun:

I advertised the item 8 weeks ago because I was supposed to have some free time then.

It turned out I had ALOT on for work & a deadline to complete the jobs and never got the time off that I was supposed to recieve untill now (several weeks later). I also had to cancell pre-booked holiday accomodation which I lost a small amount of cash on as well as several other planned events and let down a Mr's and kids, so don't think I purposely stuffed anybody around or took my time removing it as it was not a case of "getting off my ass" as you state. I had very valid reasons why I couldn't do it any sooner and I made this perfectly clear to those that messaged me regarding the bar. I told them directly that I am unsure when I will be able to remove it due to lack of time and for that reason I refused to accept a deposit or commit it to anybody untill it was actually off the car. I was working 12+ hours a day 7 days a week in order to get this time off that I now have. And to be honest now that I have the time off I just want to relax not work on cars or have to explain myself or my situation to a bunch of internet users. It was never a case of being lazy or stuffing people around. I had obligations & priorities that far outweigh the importance of any member of this site (which by the way are complete strangers to me). Sorry buddy but my business, finances & family come wayyyyyyy before some dudes feelings on the internet especially over something as petty as a towbar. I'd rather upset some users here then risk losing business & finances etc.

As I said above I am sorry to those that feel somehow jerked around and yes I do expect some people to be upset about it (I wasn't complaining I was simply appologising) but whats done is done and it was out of my hands. Anyway realistically I was not obligated to sell to anyone anyway just as they were not obligated to buy from me. I never put it on hold for anybody nor did I tell anybody it was theirs. I was upfront with all enquirers that it is still on the car and as soon as I get the time to take it off I will let them know when it is available. If this isn't good enough for anybody then PM a mod and ask to have action taken against me. Because I don't particularly want to hear it hey. I am off to enjoy my long awaited free time. Enjoy...

Anyway the items are sold.

I couldn't care less about people bitching about it, I have appologized not much more I can do.

Sooooo, feel free to lock the thread as there is nothing more to sell or say to the members here...

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
