So what have you done to your car today?

[pauls]

Had top mounts, springs, wishbones updated with polys and new bushes all thanks to Chrisgixer. Drive home was a hoot

Fixed a broken wire in the Galaxy's driver's door and now the central locking works

Tried to start it and found that the battery was flat

Same door looms as Alhambra then!

and VW Sharan. SWMBO's Golf is a little bit older but the door wiring is equally crap.

Quiet? I'm bloody knackered.

Your Welcome Paul. As the test drive then , it's much more communicative now.

Just the donuts and I reckon your there as far as suspension and handling goes. Woohoo.

[chrisgixer]

Oh and thanks for the condensor and drier. Dead handy.

Yesterday. Took me to lunch in Leamington Spa. Small place called 'Eleven'. French bistro. Excellent.

Replaced both headlamps on the TD, NS had a broken mount, and had run out of steam trying to polish the OS lens. NS is now brand new OE at £60 from an OOFer, and OS was £44.40 pattern from Ace Car parts, which fits fine and appears good. Interestingly, the latter appears to have a removable lens held on by spring clips. I shall rescue the ally billet adjusters from the old lamps for if and when these go.
Annoyingly both Nightbreaker bulbs failed when fitted to the new lamps, so I guess they dont like being manhandled, even carefully avoiding touching the glass

If you've got projector lenses in the TD, id suggest fitting aftermarket HD's to it. I did it to my 2.2 and the light output was greatly improved  Not strictly legal unless you have auto levelling suspension, but it never failed an MOT for them 

[Shackeng]

Thanks TD, I did consider it (an earlier thread), but I find them more than satisfactory with Nightbreakers in, and I guess will be even better with new lamps. I rarely drive it at night anyway, as I use the Elite or SWMBO drives me in her Jazz, as she doesn't drink.

You dont need to worry about HIDs being fitted, as long as the beam pattern is OK thats all the MoT tester will be looking for. You might need to install headlamp washers though... but auto levelling you dont need to worry about...

Fitted ipad mount,phone mount and recovery strap,going to have a play in the country side tomorrow

That's a grey area... technically the beam level should be self adjusting according to ride height at either end of the car.

Retaining the driver controlled beam level system as fitted to halogen equipped Omegas is bordering on the dubious side of legal.

Put another way, if GM hadn't needed to, they wouldn't have bothered fitting the xenon units with an ecu controlled levelling sytstem

TBH it is a grey area but its what I was told by 3 MoT testers now so Im gonna go with them LOL

The problem is, I'm sure you keep them manually adjusted to avoid dazzling others - not everyone does though. (certainly around here)
