I am going to try relocating my horn to a button on my dash, since after installing my quick release kit I cant get the damn horn wires and the actual horn to fit in its hole. Just wondering where I would find the wires so I can hook them up to a momentary button???

Ummm aren't you basically answering your own question?

You said you can't get the horn wires to fit in the hole for your steering wheel. Then use that wire? Trace it back to it's postion in the loom and join into that

Well I cant use the ones in the steering wheel cause i cant loop them to the dash obviously. In the hub adapter this is one wire, is this a power wire? I guess i am going to have to take the whole boss kit off to get to the wire then.

Yeah easiest way to do it. Pull the steering column surround and steering wheel/boss kit off and try and locate the wire on the loom.

Run that wire to button. Earth the other side to chassis.

Do you have a photo of what the actual problem is? Not sure what the problem is that's causing it not to fit in the first place. Or is the horn button to loose?

EDIT: Ahhh never mind. Re-read the first post and it makes sense now. Hopefully won't be to hard to locate the horn power wire when you can see everything

Yeah thanks. The button just pushes on but there is so little room behind, the wires just spring back and push the button back out. Stupid quick release kit needs more room. I thought about not having a horn, but out of the 2 days of driving without a horn I dont think I could live without it since there are so many bad drivers out there!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
