What's amazing is that I do get some reduction in power and it's a tad smoky but never any heatsoak!

Roll on autumn......

Normally Xenon headlights only.

I'm guessing bas has wired up the low level sensor from a new and larger washer bottle to indicate when his I/C spray needs a top up.

They all have the fluid warning light. (vRS).

Ahh ok, I thought it was only Xenon equiped cars, that is the case with the Octy II and for some reason I thought the Fabia was the same.

Mine didnt have Xenons, and it had a light.

Also a batch of them were missing the wiring inbetween the dash and the bottle which meant the light was on all the time, not a fun job to sort out.

That's seriously hot...... I wouldn't be able to do my job in that heat.
