Dunno whether to get same bulbs as you or use the cheap Chinese ones I paid £3 for a pair... they look the same, but I'm worried about small incendiary fires.

Put the cheap ones in, I paid double the price as mine were already in the UK I bet.

Wonder if they'd notice if I ran a hosepipe from the kitchen at work out the window to the carpark. Not fair! Mines filthy!!

So non cleaning related update, decided with the help of @Legojon I've got a list of bits to do so I keep on top of potential failures as the car is getting on a little bit now. Just hit 45k miles and thankfully cambelt and water pump were done just over a year ago so that's handy.

This time it's the following...

Ordered...
6L Oil 5w30 edge
Mann oil filter
Mann fuel filter
NKG Platinum Spark plugs
Pollen filter

Booking in...
Oil pickup pipe replacement
Sump cleanout
Oil change
Injector cleaning
New injector seals and baskets
Full service

Also ordered some new wax to show off at the national meet thanks to @Legojon for that as well haha yoink!

Your welcome. Did you go for the active pollen filter or the passive? Lol.

It was offer at ECP for £7.99 I think

Bargain... think I paid £18 for it. But agree with Seat now and only do it every other year. I changed it last time cause it was the passive one and I bought the active. But the one I took out looked brand new after just a year.

I now know that everything that needed to be changed will be changed.
