Forgot to take a photo before I went out earlier to get fuel but she's all done for the time being and I managed 333 miles exact on my last trip, not bad for city driving I think ehevezeh.jpg

  • If it was in our house, probably a cat...

  • All bulbs are there, not that they'll be used (apart from the indicator) I didn't realise until today it's brand new

  • Worked for VW with their Harlequin range . . . . .

About what I get out of mine all short jourenys around town, always around 340-380.

 

I'll check out HID direct :thumbup:

Got them from hids direct, no issues at the moment apart from the interior indicater noise/light that goes super fast now, doesn't bother me much though but will get it sorted at some point.

 

Doesn't that also mean that the indicators are flashing fast too?

 

The system is designed to do this to warn the driver of a blown indicator bulb.

 

The change in resistence by fitting the LED's is fooling the system into thinking a bulb has blown.

Yep totally right.

They flash fast inside, but completely fine on the outside, standard flash that comes stock with the car

It's about time Skoda got up to date with LED,s instead of all this faffing around. The days of candles are long gone.

I think we have to take into account that that won't happen until Volkswagen swap to LEDs

So another package arrived today for the car, the new wheel arch, I'll see what time I get home from work today and what the weather's like, boy do I wish it came yesterday though, at least then I didn't need to take the wheel off again today

All this jacking the car up it's about time you invested in a proper trolley jack and axel stand!

 

You wouldn't catch me spending more time than necessary underneath a 'widow maker'.

I'm not married ;) and that was going to be it's last time on the jack, if I hadn't ordered the part for the wrong side :swear:

It's been well over 3 weeks so it's time for an update! I'm taking the car back to the garage on Wednesday that painted the panel for me to have the bonnet straightened out and hopefully do something with the bumper that's sticking out a small amount, then she's pretty much back to her normal state, next up will be mods! :D
