That sounds great. I have a real love of the older style of in-car hi-fi but sadly not the right kind of cars to install it in, hence the sale of mine.

It's in Guildford in the UK, it's a town about 25-30 miles south-west of London

Thanks for the question 👍

Es genial escuchar eso. Alpine tenía algunos productos realmente interesantes en ese entonces, desearía haber experimentado más de ellos. That's great to hear. Alpine had some really interesting products back then - I wish I had experienced more of them.

It's a lot of wires for sure but I love the retro vibe. If I had a Mercedes 190e 2.6 Sportline as my daily I'd have installed all this without hesitation.

​@@James76Git's Alpine Gear, I feel your ❤ for it.

Hi there. No, it sold shortly after the video went live and the buyer mentioned that seeing the video of it working was partly why they bought it. Went for £100 in the end, which I was very happy with.

There's a good number of reasons why the council has to cut back on services. Reduction in central government funding being one, an inherently inefficient organisation structure being the another but I don't believe salaries are the reason. Councils are not places where you'd typically seek out high paying jobs afterall.

Sold it.

£24 or after eBay fees £19. Once restored, I then sold the rest of the car for £75. You can hear all about that over on my other channel here: ua-cam.com/video/zyPAPTd952w/v-deo.html

I found another video on UA-cam (ua-cam.com/video/_-Z-JOJYWVg/v-deo.html) suggesting that they were launched in 2003, so twice that. The 27Mhz radio gives it away really, but I still think it's a great looking example of the type. I can't get mine to run reliably though, so I've still not given it a proper run out.

@@James76G I've just took mine out for its first run and wont start... nothings been charged since 2006 apparently so either bad battery or just needs a good overnight charge

Indeed the do and no doubt very cold!

I didn't, no. I've kept it for now although it's just boxed up and sitting under my desk.

​@@James76Ghi, would you like to sell it?

I can't remember Dan, sorry. I never installed it in a car and so never got to dig in to the features much. It must have been ace back in the day, but in a modern world it's a lot of boxes for not a lot of functionality.

She is and having just finished my Monster Beetle restoration I'll soon be looking at this MT2 on my other channel here: www.youtube.com/@mostlyhelpful

Sadly not Clive, haven't been to Staines for about 18 years.

There is a small switch under the platter that detects 7" records. There is a small hole in the rubber platter mat that needs to line up with this switch so make sure that is right. Then there is a second switch toward the back near where the arm mounts. This switch detects a 12". If this switch is broken or stuck in the closed position it won't detect a 7" record on the platter. So check that too. Good luck.

No problem and thanks for taking the time to comment.

I filmed this simply so that in years to come people will be able to "see" what is behind the closed doors they see in the town. How those doors ended up being closed is not something I want to be drawn in to.

I was pleasantly surprised myself!

Just wait 10 years and people will be all over it... In the meantime, cheer up.

I'll be doing a video on the restoration over on my other channel very soon, which is called Mostly Helpful. I'll include details of the tune for sure.

Chears mate

@@James76Ghey I recently got a mt2 and for some reason the front wheels are locked up but the back seems to be fine also was wondering what direction the rotory start it supposed to spin when trying to start it?

Thanks for watching my video Andrew.

Gracias!

I've run it maybe 4 times now and every time I seem to damage the shell a little more, even though I'm being gentle. I've no idea how they coped with the rough and tumble back in the day! If you want to see how I'm getting on with the restoration it's over on my other channel here: ua-cam.com/video/EB5DzRbwYRY/v-deo.html

@@James76G lots and lots and lots of clear coat 😆🤣

Hi Mehmet, thanks for this, I always wondered what the issue was. Unfortunately this wasn't at a BMW dealer and so they wouldn't have known about the recall and sadly despite our best efforts, they wouldn't sell the car in its existing condition. But somebody got a lovely car for certain. My friend Rob did go on to buy another D3 however and more recently he has upgraded to a B5. You can see pictures of both the D3 and my own B2.5 on my Instagram page @james76g.

@@James76G thanks for your reply also James, your friend and yourself have VERY good taste in cars my friend I will surely check out your IG I wish you all the best in the future 🤝

Hi and thanks for the comment. I don't know why you are seeing what you are as the NVE-ND055 was always an add on unit, and so shouldn't be required. The only thing I can think is that it is defaulting to the Nav unit on boot up and with it not connected it can't do anything. For reference when mine starts for the first time it opens with the radio, as you will have seen in the video. I also have the same Nav unit, but I don't have the remote or the aerial for it so I haven't included it in this video.

Thanks bro! You should totally check out my other channel though man, it's awesome. Definitely need me subs there. Peace out. ua-cam.com/channels/I5DoQNbdbe5kxphVZ2FXnw.html

Agreed, love a bit of Dua Lipa!

Hi Tom, no worries. It's great, I use it all the time. It can't remove wheel nuts when they are fully torqued up (110NM), but pretty much everything else I did on my R53 it handled fine, which was most of the suspension, removing the front crash bar and so on.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to comment and for the tip. Ideally I wouldn't have stood on the breaker bar, but I didn't want to cause myself too much strain, so felt it a better option. Perhaps a bigger breaker bar next time?

Bigger is always better, I have a 1m one myself :) Standing on it isn't really a problem if it's stable enough. I've also used my breaker bar and a load of weights as a crude torque wrench for high-torque applications before I felt like I could justify buying a big torque wrench.

Don't think so,impossible to work its way off,it's a *long* nut; all he needed was an extension, a piece of tubing 2 feet (and do C L E A R the area of people, when the socket,or the bar, breaks,it will fly off)...; i have 5 or 6 tubes ,all sizes; standing on it,like it was done,is ok too; been a mech for over 40 years. (i was looking for a video on the wheel bearing...)
