The interior lights have been in a few days now.....no errors.

Only thing I'm getting is a 'check left/right' lights error on the dash since putting the sidelights in last night, but they still work ok.

May try another set of sidelight bulbs

My interior and sidelights from PartsULike have been spot on but pricey. Really bright too [B)]

Cheers Rob.

Noticed yesterday when swapping out a bulb that the N/S passenger headlight has been broke of the top mounting bracket.
Gonna have a go at superglueing it back as a temp measure, but if that don't hold its a new headlamp :(

Changed my spark plugs,filter eliment and topped the oil up with more castrol edge ready for Saturdays re-map.

Whilst doing the plugs noticed that some muppet has broken the clip that is used to remove the connector from cylinder 3's coil pack so that will need sorting. Still connects to the coil pack no problem but is a pig to get off.

Doesn't matter. I fitted them on an Ibiza headlight. I'd be surprised if there was nothing left to at least screw one into.

Bloody S#*@!ing f$*!ing a$€!%ing handbrake cover is a bitch to get on.... you were right Andy, it is a ball-ache. Nearly got it fully on, but either the top or the bottom keeps popping out and as for the sides.....

It's a proper pain in the @rse ain't it mate.

You turn into Roy Chubby Brown turning the air blue trying to get the leather flaps tucked in :lol:

Handbrake off to tuck the top in, on to tuck the bottom in......The sides are a bleeding nightmare.

On a positive note, I'm no longer getting any error messages on the MFD asking me to check left & right bulbs after putting the LED sidelights in

with the weather being mild thinking of sticking my normal wheels back on.

also thinking of selling my std 17" seat wheels. what do you think they would be worth? decent tyres on all 4 bit of kerbing (not from me).
