  1. I got 4 of these (colour 9) https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32848599226.html?spm=a2g0n.orderlist-amp.item.32848599226&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=6229amp-HhMyu9nZZbU0SXLUvCzX-Q1543184217422 2 in the boot, and 2 for the red marker lights in the door cards. Really good, no Canbus problems, cheap enough that if they do cause any issues you can sling them. All the LEDs are on one side, which is much more efficient than the 360 degree coverage ones, as the festoons don't have reflectors in them. And they are the correct polarity for the light to shine outwards!
  2. Pricing is now £8.99! Top tip though. I've ordered, should arrive for the weekend!
  3. You'll want to bond the element to the windscreen so it directly conducts the heat - any airgap is going to sap its efficiency. Also, make sure the adhesive your using has minimal insulating properties - so definitely not double sided foam. Super glue could be most efficient, but really hard to work with. Double sided tape is going to insulate somewhat. Also needs to be waterproof to handle condensation - super glue would fit the bill again.
  4. Timing belt will be coming up 5 years old. I think my Skoda dealer wanted £359 to do it. Probably get it done with next year's service.
  5. Ah, Sweden. That's probably more useful than an ejector seat now I come to think of it
  6. Couldn't take it from the fuse box? Maybe installing an unfused ejector seat.
  7. I bought 4 of these (emitting color 9): https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32848599226.html?spm=a2g0n.orderList.0.0.5516b7524lndWa Used in the door lights and in the boot in the existing units. Worked well - the units don't have reflectors so having all the chips on one side meant all the light was usable.
  8. Easy to splice in if you already have door lights (instead of reflectors). Same steps as the mkii guide here: I bought these ones from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00NBEOZA8/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  9. I paid £100 at a Citroën dealership 3 years ago. £140 sounds close enough. Only worth doing with new/newish tyres, as they do not always survive the next tyre change.
  10. Cost me £100 including instalation from a Alloygators registered installer when the car was new. Got a tyre place to fit them at the 1st tyre change, but next time I'll go back to a registered installer. Their website had a search feature - plenty choice of installers.
  11. I've got a set of alloygators on another car with diamond cut wheels. They get replaced at the same time as the tires. I went for black rather than the outrageous colours. Never had one come loose, and they've been well battered.
  12. Yes - requires more courage than strength. Use your fingers like the video, rather than a tool, and it will pop out easily enough. You'll need a set of small torque bits.
