what have you done to your car today ?

[dgjdrummer]

Dgjdrummer, just a quick stupid question.. how do you change the passenger rear lightbulds? I am looking to put some new white leds but i could not find a proper step-by-step guide..
Things are getting worse when i took a look at the bulbs. It looks like they are soldered on somehow... no plugs to just pull then out of...

Is it supposed to be so damn difficult??

Hey mate, you just insert a flat screwdriver under the front most edge of the light fitting, press on a metal clip hidden where you've inserted the screwdriver and pull the fitting down.

The bulbs then just twist and pop out, but they are quite a tight fit. I'd recommend getting smds over leds as they are brighter and shorter so fit in easier. You want T5 neo-wedge bulbs, should only be a few quid for a pair on eBay.

Booked it in for a respray, gave it a wash and then counter productively took it for a spin down country roads.

 

[BoostHard]

How much is the respray costing?

I've actually posted this in the wrong place, I drive a mk3 Ibiza, oops!
I'm just getting the front end done mate, it's got it's fair share of stone chips! Just the price of the paints, mate. My dad's friend has a body shop and will do it when he has a slack day.

[Dougster]

Need a boot latch and wiper motor/mech for my Mk1

I hate seeing these cars broken for parts I completely understand why, it's just a shame and there are an awful lot of them going that way.

 

[csd_19]

Mine'll be getting broken too in the New Year...

 

[MaximOD]

Well i'm in a dilemma.......will end up spending thousands on getting my LC the way I want it......would be cheaper to get a LCR and do it that way......but my LC is in such good condition and only done 75k. Its hard to find a LCR with as little miles on it for a decent price.....

 

[luke C.]

Booked it in for Cambelt and water pump, and decat for the 1.9tdi,

Just bought, poweflex dogbone mount, fabia vrs rear wiper, k&n panel filter

 

[Krakum]

so you have had problems in selling it then mate is it or things going wrong for the car? Why not a Leon mk2 derv they don't look to bad,as compared to the mk4/5 golf ect which I think just look terrible and have nothing going for them in looks wise imo,just never been a fan of them at all.
ive never had the spot for diesels tbh don't know why just never have done but id give em that they do well in how far they can run on diesel

same here mate, pretty happy with my Leon cupra but had I known more I wudda got a cupra r but for the money I got the car for I had it, was thinking of getting rid for a cupra r but for the extra bhp is it worth the extra bucks???I know my cupra inside out and I know the rights and wrongs cant knock it.

 

[Dozer360]

ordered a new petrol cap as my string broke last time i filled it up.

 

[Dougster]

Well it's been p***ing here all day so popped out to check my final door seal repair that I done last night and ALL dry!!
