All the best, and happy wandering

How many years do you think that these units should last?

Impossible to say, if kept dry it will last a lot longer.
Mine has lasted at minimum 120,000 miles so far and a 2004 Model.
Lasers do pack up but can be easily replaced if a MK4.

Hi John

What is the cost of a MK4 and would that be a str8 swap for my car from the MK3?

Have had some great deals on e bay getting spare parts, boot seals and door seals and now the sat nav

I just hoping that the cd/radio, cass does not go wrong next

I've just re read thread and noticed you have the Lo Line Sat Nav system. Dooh!

For this the MK4 would be wasting your money
as the facilities and speed it offers cannot be used on your system,
Sorry should have checked before mentioning MK4's.
You would need the rest of Hi Line system parts to use this and although can and has been done by members
could prove to be very expensive.

They go incidentally (MK4) for around the £300 mark, some much more.

No reason for your CD/Radio to go but as with all electrical things.........

A Jules tip for any MGR Sat Nav owner to preserve the life of the in boot computer would be to print the following label out & get it encapsulated then firmly attach it to your battery

~ATTENTION!~
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THIS BATTERY,
WAIT 1-2 MINUTES FOR THE LED TO EXTINGUISH
ON SAT NAV UNIT SITUATED IN THE BOOT

Perhaps the Club might want to get some made & sell them in the shop

I already have this attached to my battery in big bold red letters with instructions how to power down, laminated just in case
