Thanks mate. What's up with the LEDs? I fitted them in my number plate lights and worked first time and no issues with them as yet
First set started flickering and going out when engine stared, so I ordered some more, which went out after 5 seconds and three an error. So have been swapping round bulbs in order to find a combination that worked and eventually managed it. Nearly broke the holder again though..... I'm about ready to give up on LEDS to be honest!
Did you buy the error free ones? Well done on finally managing it and understand you feeling ready to give up on them after the hassle. Good on you for not giving up though
Life sure tests us and cars can push us just that little bit further when things don't go like they should! Even more so when it should really have only been a five minute job! Been there once or twice!
Sunny Gateshead mate.
Yeah I think it was Evo Tune I called actually. Maybe it was just a bad moment or something but I felt like I was inconveniencing him with my call and the whole 'come down and ill see what I can do' wasnt a great first impression. I just want a time, do some runs and go rather than a full day experience.
Im thinking the next time im back down in Plymouth I might tap up an old school mate who now runs RL Services or even Alan Jeffery might be a better bet.

but think I might need to cut the thread down a bit as its too long and the radio reception isn't too bad either.

I've never personally dealt with evo tune myself but they do have a great reputation especially with the mitsi evo boys. Durham remaps were very professional and a good price for the service.
I would personally avoid motorscope in Northallerton for RR as the figures seem to be pretty generous! Very good at tuning though, did my supra, but the RR is very good in giving you false confidence!
