Re: Any Australians on here
When you say heating upgrade do you mean a factory style PTC heater install?
Or conversion from mechanical climate to duel zone digital climate?

Re: Any Australians on here
To convert from cable driven climate to that single zone electronic climate will still require a heater box change,
I would suggest for a very similar amount of effort you consider a full duel zone cliamatronic swap, as both require replacement heater boxes and custom retrofit looms.

Re: Any Australians on here
so going Mk3 pre facelift to Mk3 facelift?
It requires nearly the same amount of parts as a mk3 pre facelift to mk4 conversion.
Front guards, guard brackets lower and upper (part of the chassis outrigger), front radiator support panel, reo bar and foam, 2 headlights, bonnet, possible bonnet cable latch and hinges. Depending on the radiator/condenser your vehicle is running you may have to clearance the radiator support panel to fit the earlier condenser in.
I would suggest trying to find a wrecking yard breaking a mk3 facelift with a damaged rear- this will give you the change to see everything installed in situ.

Re: Any Australians on here
I'm looking in Aus to find a decent suspension kit for the caddy! It needs to be tough enough to tow a heavy trailer behind. But I also want it lower to make it look aesthetically pleasing. What have you guys used on yours? And if you have can you post a pic thanks

Re: Any Australians on here
Just to answer your initial question. Yes, Aussie here - Just joined, but no I don't know anything about these forums yet but was researching the facelift also for my 2006 Caddy.

Re: Any Australians on here
Does anyone have contacts for upgrading/replacing/adding clusters, modules etc here in Australia?

Re: Any Australians on here
Morning folks,
Apologies to admin if this isn't permitted.
But I figure I'd post here to keep it local.
I've some leftover caddy trims I need to move, its 90% a lower trim black conversion. Doesn't include the floor covering and possibly a few small items, but it's centre console, door cards and both sill trims front and rear.
This sort of stuff- I have black and grey also
I do have a set of grey rubber floor covering
I also have a set of 8V audi A3 vents with 3d printed adaptors to suit mk3 dash to sell.. These owe me $300.
And finally a mk3 radiator support panel- only a years worth of use before I fitted a mk4 front end. Bought it new, seems a waste to throw it.
All items are located Melbourne Vic.

Re: Any Australians on here
I'm looking at Titan suspension for the caddy as It means I don't have to spend on shipping to Australia. Has anyone heard anything about these? I just want some improvement on handling.

Hey Ryzar, where did you purchase these from? Did you find a distributor in Aus that you didn't have to pay shipping?Ryzar1 wrote:
