    Coded in the angel eyes to 100%, I think they were at 16% or something. Very bright, maybe a bit too bright.

    Different car but on the Golf i coded the LEDs to be at around 60 odd % (can't remember exactly) when the dips are on, they are 100% as default when dips are off.

    Yeah mine is 100% on when dips are off, I think 16% when on. I will drop them to 50 or 60% for dips on as it's too bright.

    I have it at 100% for both...I don't find it too bright at all, never had an issue :pac:

    Paid off the Corsa today, delighted! It was bought for the new job last October so hasn't been driven much and not sure when it will be really needed again with WFH (but at the moment, its worth keeping so neither myself / missus + kids are "stuck home"). For now, it picks up the takeaway so I don't stink up the Karoq :)

    The HP rate was uncomfortably high on this (close to 20% over 4 years) and it bugged me since the start as I needed a car quick - so to get that out of the way, it's a relief!

    Rule number 1 - focus on the highest interest loans first. We've been fortunate enough to save cash at the moment so it's the perfect time to clear some unwanted debt. I've saved about €1700 by paying it off early.

    Swapped out our Seat Leon Estate for a Renault Megane Estate yesterday. Very happy with it.

    Such a better looking car and much higher spec than the one it replaces. I think that its one of the best looking estate cars out there after an RS6. Spent the morning giving it a proper clean. Was nervous about the reliability so we will see how that goes, but it has 4 years warranty so will likely change it just as that runs out anyway.

    Have to agree, think they’re a really good looking estate. I rented one on holidays last year and really enjoyed it.

    Picked up the new whip today, Cupra 290 ST. First petrol in over ten years. Bucket seats are sublime.

    2 weeks ago I gave the car a good clean and waxing only for it to look like this a few days later despite not having moved. :mad:

    Anyway last night 2 applications of Bilt Hamber autofoam and rinsing melted the dust off easily, hardly needed a shampoo later. Didn't go overboard as it will no doubt be dusty again in a few days. Car is a 530i M-Sport Plus

    Gave it a good wash last night. Got to try out some Bilt Hamber snow foam. Brilliant stuff.

    Given the dust that's settling on the car I found that using snowfoam alone was enough to get the paintwork perfect. I did give it a proper wash afterwards and there literally wasn't any debris at all at the bottom of the bucket.

    De-badged the big SDRIVE20i, KY reg has been handy at home.

    Snowfoam and rinse is about all I am doing at the moment.
    Car is badly crying out for a wheels off clean.

    After a good clean recently.

    All the pretty BMW's being posted and there's my one outside covered in bird poop. Is that a 320d?

    Plans have changed for my wagon, it's going into a shed and I'm buying something I can actually tax!

    It might be an ancient design at this stage, but I still love my B6 Avant

    Nope. Still a fab car, particulary in estate/Avant with those door sill spoilers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,127 ✭✭✭James Bond Junior


    @MadMike,
    was that the A4 Avant I recommended a year or two ago on here? Bought privately from a guy in Blanch?
