    Possible xenon headlamp group buy??

    Yes, although one of the motors didn't appear to be working. We removed it again, opened it up and checked the connectors and the gears, put it back and it seemed to work! :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Possible xenon headlamp group buy??

    It's better to try and remove the bumper to prevent damage. We couldn't remove all the bottom mounting point screws from my new undertray yesterday, but with all the side and top ones removed we had just enough leeway to pull the bumper forward and downward (gently) to manoeuvre the light units...

    Misfire at high revs

    Misfire at high revs

    Hi badger, Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be checking the coil packs and other usual things, as recommended... just wondered if anyone could suggest a reason why a misfire would suddenly appear at high revs when at all other points it's smooth and tractable. Jobs for my next day off... :) T

    Misfire at high revs
