A/C filter,-any difference from the original? Original is no filter, so yes big difference ;)
FITT mirror covers with entry lights,- what is this? Mirro cover with LED turn signal and down-firing white LED's the illuminate the ground around the car when the doors are unlocked.
Mirror controller,- what is this?
Already covered here. Auto retracts the mirrors when locking the doors.
FITT Turn light garnish,- what is this? Already covered here, with pic.
Bosch windshield wipers, - any diff? Yes, much better in heavy rain/high speed, plus doesn't look like 1970's parts like OEM ones ;)
20" rims, - how much and where did u do it? ~40k changeover. NV Yangyont.
ECU piggyback, - what is it? Look for the "cheap diesel performance" thread on these forums.
dump pipe,- double? No, replaces a section of pipe that normally has a restrictive catalytic converter in it ;)
EGR plug,  K&N filter,- making any differecne? Not huge but yes. Both together probably contribute another 15-20HP.
custom WDTV install, 11" roof monitor, - how much does it cost? screen was 4300 Baht, WDTV was a DIY (both have been covered on these forums)

I would take a snap but tried before and dont seem to be able to load it on TV. If anyone want's to see the set up including box I'll can send but have to have email address. Unless someone can tell me how to post on TV. New to the game and a bit of a doze. Anyway will take snap's just in case.

There's 2 ways to upload a photo to TV - one is to use the board editing controls, but they result in tiny little thumbnails so I don't normally use them.. The other way is to use an image hosting website. Here's what I do:
  • Navigate to imageshack.us
  • Click the "Browse" button and locate the image on your PC or memory stick.
  • Click "Upload Options/ Resizing" and select the "800x600 (15-inch montor)" option.
  • Click the "Upload Now" button.
  • On the next page, click your mouse in the :"Forum Code" text box (this copies the code to your clipboard) *
  • Paste the code into your post (right-click and select "Paste", or press CTRL+V on your keyboard).
* Your browser security settings may not allow auto-copy to the clipboard, if this is the case right-click and select "copy" or press CTRL+C on your keyboard.
What would I do without peep's like you. Thank's for help will give it a try when I get snap's.
Right have got light's fitted all seem's fine. Took snap's of box's + light's but TV still dosen't load them. Yes I know I told you I was a plonker. M.R.Oasis all ok till it got to TV then nothing. Oh well. Many thank's anyway. I dont know if there's a way to send them via TV to anyone to let them put on TV, let me know as they might be of interest to peep's. Once again many thank's MRO for your help. FOB

Just a thought. Maybe we should rename this site MRO car forum.

And this will explain why I posted the other image of the dump pipe, along with how to attach images larger than the standard TV thumbnails ;)

Yes got all that 800x600, got it all into imageshack.us, then into TV that's when the st/t hit the fan said download enter , up came loading and then full stop. Am still waiting. Got a smart arse coming round tomorrow to help. But he's no MRO so I live in hope's. Then again tomorrow is another day.

Genuine Bosch Aerotwin's cost 1200 Baht for both front wipers (19" + 22") inc. EMS delivery. Fitting is so easy it doesn't even qualify as a DIY ;)

Chinese copies can be had for about 500-700 Baht/set, but will not last/perform the same of course, perhaps an option if you're just interested in getting rid of the 1970's look though ;) Best place to find these is Khlong Thom markets.

My supplier for the genuine Bosch units was Khun Peng, phone 08-2687-6911 (speaks a little English).

I know you will laugh but l bought some ' silicone '  wipers in Tesco, they work great although they have the old design technology. Better than the factory kit, only downside is the blade is white. :)

No laughing, at least you changed them! :) Most people leave wipers on way past their service life (~12-18 months) and become road hazards the moment it rains.
