  1. Would be interested to hear how easy it is to fit the top mount insert and what work is involved? Thanks.
     
  2. I must admit I won't be fitting it, but I imagine it would be a jack under the engine to take the weight off the mount and then lube it up and insert it :flushed:
     
  3. Thanks, wow, it is that easy? I’d assumed it was a mount-out and disassemble job.

    Mount needs to come out to fit it, there isn't any room to do it in situ and the header tank is in the way

  5. It came with these instructions, but does not say if you can do it on or off the car

    I can guarantee you the mount needs removed to fit it [emoji23]

  9. Well after thinking i was going insane for last couple of weeks, i have now disabled the stupid setting that makes your music get louder as you drive faster and also found the Random play option :smiley:
     
  10. Wing mirror indicator bulbs came today, looks like its going to be raining all day, will have a go tomorrow

  11. Thought i had killed the car on the way home, turns out i must not have pushed the pipe back onto the sound generator properly last time i was looking at removing it. I have now fitted the bung, and will be leaving the sound generator in place, as it seems a bit pointless removing it.

    Fingers crossed for a dry day, and then i can get the beast washed and fit the silver vision indicator bulbs in the wing mirrors
     
  12. Well the dry day turned up :tongueout:

    From this...

  13. Made a start on the Interior lights, could not work out the glovebox one? :worried: and will order some new rear number plate holders as the current ones have seen better days

  14. Did you get any issues with the leds stopping on in the interior?
     
  15. Will keep an eye on it, been OK today
     
  16. Where did you get your leds from? The ones ive tried on the inside just dont seem to full go off, so i have had to partly use blue halogen bulbs
     
  17. How did you get on with the gearbox mount and engine mount insert? Long story short I'm thinking of fitting the gearbox mount, but the engine mount insert is so relatively cheap that I could also fit that if you think it was worthwhile?
     
  18. Still not got them fitted, I am gathering parts still, and will get my car serviced, mot, and then get all the mounts and springs fitted
     
  19. Thanks, let us know when you do.
     
  20. Grabbed myself a pair of rear number plate holders, should have chance to fit them Wed

    [​IMG]
     
  21. Sorted the number plate lights, and fitted the LED's

    Old ones

    [​IMG]
     
  22. Ordered some new plates and fitted them today, will keep the old plates for MOT's

    [​IMG]
     
  23. Also booked the car in for the following

    MoT
    Service
    Upper engine insert
    Upper 275 gearbox mount
    M12 bolt
    Vibra Lower gearbox mount

  26. Added a red stripe the front blade, not sure if it is going to stay :tongueout:, but i am quite liking it

    Does the bottom lip spoiler unscrew from the bumper? not had chance to look yet, but going to look at spraying it

    [​IMG]
     
  27. Im still out on the red strip, dont know if i want to try it or not.. toyed with the idea for a while now!
    Easy to do?
     
  28. depends what you call easy to do :tongueout:, took me about 20mins, but if you look really closely, its not exactly even both side, but close enough
     
  29. Thought i would grab a pair of new top mounts, for when i get the springs done. Also picked up some silver vision indicator bulbs

    [​IMG]
     
  30. Glad they arrived safely mate

  34. I ordered the same pack, based on your recommendation.

    Fitted them today. Did you have many left over?

    I've done the interior roof lights (4), puddle lights (2), side lights (2), boot (1) and number plate lights (2).

    I have 3 or 4 unused still.

  35. I did 6x roof lights, 2x puddle lights, 1x boot, 2x number plate, not done the side lights.
     
  36. Mirror lights too lol
     
  37. I looked, I don't think I have any. How do you access them otherwise
     
  38. I thought about doing them, but thought it was a bit pointless, will just keep the others as spares
     
  39. Mirror lights above the sun visors
