what did you and your mk3 leon do today

[bgb]

Since delivery, I haven't checked the tyre pressures... I know, how dare I.. but anyway, did it on the way to work today and wow, from 42/3 all round to 36psi has changed the car, drastically dropped the scrubbing and ride comfort over the poor state of our roads!

So, get checking them tyres!

Couple of things today when I got a spare twenty minutes.

LED reversing bulb fitted
View attachment 7829 View attachment 7830

This was a cheapo from aliexpress so v pleased at the quality.

I then activated one touch mirrors, needle sweep, cornering lights and rear DRLs via Carista. I also activated the beep on lock and unlock but didn’t like the chirp so switched it off.

Any easy guides to follow?

For the bulb or Carista?

Bulb sorry.

 

[Oddmanout]

Bulb sorry.

Its dead easy mate - on the left as you look up inside the boot lid theres a panel which just pops off by hand. You then unfasten two clips (there's only two visible) and pop out the light module. There is only one bulb in it. Its then a standard 2 prong bulb so you push and release the old and twist in the new. Clip the module back in and replace the panle.

BTW to test it you have to close the boot lid - I tried with it open and it didn't work so I thought I'd done something wrong!

So....I nearly forgot about this one,knock on the door this afternoon and to my surprise a package had been delivered.Do not remember ordering anything recently,but the shape of the package could only mean one thing...surely not...not after waiting over two months...at last my strut brace has arrived.
Last time I had one of these was on a 205 1.9 gti ( showing my age now)and I’m sure I felt the benefit.Now the thing is it did not come with instructions, not on were it goes but what torque settings for the bolts when I install it...I was thinking about 90lb. Any help or suggestions would be grateful.//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/

Instructions are for wimps.

@paddy6789 You did tell me what the Torque settings were but cant find the mail, would you share please.
I also seem to recall the bolts are one use only but he can confirm that.

I ordered mine from TPS - I can't quite remember how much they were but it won't be anymore than £10 for the whole lot.

@paddy6789...do they have a part number, or a M size as I don’t even know what to look for.

All sorted, only cost me £5.86 and there was a tps near me so it was handy really.
