    Ah they've nice faces.
    She says she wants a farm but what she really wants is a petting zoo. I had to explain what a slurry pit was. We won't be getting one of those anyway. :p

    I sure can, the roads just got narrower and narrower to the extent the Daily van and trailer were wider than the road :p saw 2 of the thickest bog mules on the way, my goodness they'd make any mirror break and milk curdle :pac::pac::pac:

    Must get this oil changed later when I feel a bit better! :)

    Here they are

    I'll let you know if they last:p

    Got home today, these were sitting on the floor :D

    Was afraid they got damaged going through the letterbox, as when I was putting them in I had to move them around and swap them for both to work...eventually though, and no error lights!

    Changed the number playe lights today with smd's but still getting the error on the dash. Will modify that during the week.
    Replaced all interior lights to LED's as well.
    Replaced the Boot lights as well but the continously blew the fuses. Would the need a 10 amp instead of a 5? Didn't have that proble with the last one..
    and washed it.

    OH
    And fitted these :D

    Taxed the beast, as there's 2 upcoming trackdays. Flipping daylight robbery at 475 EUR for 3 months.

    Checked oil, coolant and then found out, that its been sitting for long enough, so the battery had nearly gone flat.

    Anyhow, battery pack connected and flippin immobilizer gone nuts and wants it's code. DOH. That sorted and she's finally running I went into town, brimmed the tank and got it washed.

    Perfect, I'll just let it settle and check it again later :)

    Now, onto the nutters car :pac: light was becoming poor on one side
    Image2375.jpg

    When I got my van first, it had a new right hand headlight.... I used polys instead, so this one was gathering dust. There's a new light on the other side too :P

    Even the bulb is like new....
    Image2376.jpg
