Try Ali express for led bulbs, it takes about 10 days for them to arrive but they'll be better than normal smd ones from within UK. Cree bulbs are the best probably. My reverse light makes it like daylight.

Very nice 2G liking the look of that a lot, starting to think White is one of the best colours for the Mk2.

Noticed just how wet the soundproofing gets under the bonnet today! Gave the car a clean and dry, then popped the bonnet to fill up the screen wash- and water was like a waterfall running down the back of the bonnet. The scuttle panel must let so much water in.
Looking forward to some nice hot days so I can take the soundproofing off to clean it up and dry it out.

It's been a weekend of spoiling my car :) and overall an expensive month!

Had the timing belt, water pump, fuel filter, oil filter, engine oil and gearbox oil changed. Finished it off with a good wash n wax.

New tyres and mot next weekend then insurance renewal at the end of the month.

Where do peeps order their plates from? Seen some with diff font and wonder the legality issues with font changing?

Unsure on best place for ordering plates I just got the standard ones from stealers, but regards the tape I use the halfrauds tape it's very good

Once fitted they are solid mate no way these will fall off

Cool!

If you do order, don't do what I did, despite entering my work address for delivery, i somehow managed to override that and its now getting delivered to a Londis convenience store 2 miles away from my office! I thought it was to pick a backup incase they couldnt deliver to my office, not override all the flaming address I manually entered on the previous screens!



Yeah car looks nice there Matt

I don't know how people do this, I wear a wedding ring and have never made a mess of the gear stick like that, in fact you can't even tell as it's not marked.

Glad to have helped!

Must just have been me being an idiot when that subsequent google map thing presented itself!

Why the hell would you enter your desired address manually, then have to find it and click it and accept it on a map on the next few screens?
Honestly just assumed with the UPS drop off points highlighted it was a case of picking one as a fallback address rather than overriding the address I entered previously :(

Maybe it really was Mr T :)

Not today, but went an looked at an FR550 in Birmingham yesterday. Great condition, however when started from cold the revs were jumping between 1-2k and it was very hesitant until it cut out. Was white smoke coming from the exhaust, but when up to temp it was perfect.

I thought its either the timing being out, maf or fuel filter issue. Dealer thought it was a diesel leak or EGR issue. When we opened the bonnet at the back near the fuel lines and turbo there was a leak of some sort as a small amount of smoke was coming out from somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Mines getting Terracleaned at 4pm today.
