hey guys.

just installed a new head unit, schneider scd-8000

the previous owner had informed me that the backlight had recently stopped working, after just installing it it turns out...he's right, lol.

so is it possible to fix this problem? he cleaned the connectors but it hasnt fixed the prob, so does anyone know if/how to fix it?

also my antenna now permanently stays up when i turn on the unit, as soon as i turn it off it goes down but even when playing cd's it stays up, what have i done? not that the antenna really bothers me.

my main concern is the backlight as its already bugging me in the dark.

They could be globes or LEDS...if they are globes then they would be 12V globes but if they are LED they would be 3V....the last schnieder radio i fixed used LEDs to backlight the display...its not a big problem and can be fixed quite easily...as for the antenna the radio doesnt have the function of ant trigger to stop 12V to the ant motor when u put a cd in...it has just a constant trigger which is used to run an amp and an ant...but this will continue to put 12V to the ant wether u play cd or radio...only the top end models has the facilty for the ant to go down when u play a cd...theres not much that can be done unless u modify the radio internally but u need experience to do that...im sure its no big deal anyway

these lamps are a miniture type....if ur not a technician then i wouldnt recommend ya to do it....u have to pull the face apart, probably unsolder the LCD and then replace the globes... if u were in melb id be happy to help u out but i guess ur a bit to far away...any car raio shop that does repairs should be able to do it 4 ya...im guessin they should only be chargin ya round $30 to $40 .....u would have to get the globe from dicksmith or jaycar...if they are LEDs u have to be carefully not to put em in back to front but im 80% sure they just use globes

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
