Now that is very handy to know. And to think I was about to commit to buying 2 kits.

Thanks Jase, just 1 kit being ordered right now Wink

It'll be the 35w as the 55w is reputed to be twice as bright as OEM's, might be too bright for oncoming cars Rolling Eyes

cheers

Sooty is still alive and well.... Wink

Even gave it a wash (by hand! Laughing

) on Friday- was then put into service at a wedding.... Cool

I'll try to sort some photos out.

Things to sort:
water leak? I think- had to fill it up a couple of times
oil leak? Need to check- saw a patch on the floor. Could be water that's run down and picked up some oil on it's way
Change instrument binnacle- odometer doesn't work, so no idea how many miles I've done....
Power up the aux gauges- need to secure a switched ignition feed. I've looked at where the VDO oil sender may be/ need to go- may need Owen's help here, but if it goes where I think "tight" isn't the word!
Remove an old car kit (I'm sure I've located one)

I've checked the rear speakers (one side) as they don't work- looks like they've blown. I had some that are a similar size, but don't want to hack the door cards Rolling Eyes

Tested the electric aerial - looks like that may be U/S- needs more investigation (although the radio works ok)
Attempt to fit a parrot car kit (bluetooth)- the wiring is all wrong on the car kit, though, so needs to be investigated (we tried this before and blew a few fuses- will spend more time on it)

Sunroof- doesn't work. Anyone got a wiring diagram so I can trace the wires? It looks like there's only 5v going to the roof, and I need to trace the wires for it....

Cheers

Update, car is now sold (was last summer) and is now fit and well in Scotland.

Thanks to Andy for the re-upload of the pictures that disappeared from the gallery.
