rain stopped, i started! i went balls deep and kept all my fingers crossed that the rain that was threatening didnt happen. so i got wash, clay, paint cleaner and then half through polish when it started spitting youve never seen someone get polish on the other half of the car as fast as i did! so i got it on but unfotunately didnt get to buff it off when it started raining. i hope she'll be ok! tomorrow morning is going to have to be another full wash and then re polish her and then wax before leaving at 10am. in defiance of the rain i cleaned all the alloys and tyres and dressed the tyres with the megs stuff. they look lovely! f**k you rain! i got soaked anyway, because it rained in the morning she didnt get the oil change, drop links or spark plugs fingers crossed for tomorrow afternoon! but hey, some of the interior lighting is white now so i cant complain. im going to have a bevy now, lots and lots of

bl***y rained

thats the easy bit aswell, im ordering the gauge faces from black cat customs now so when they arrive, part two although im tempted to do the LED's now and take it all apart again to fit the faces, eager

the xk looks nicer than when they are brand new

+1 mines cracked from the previous owner. would like.

a day pic of it for you. if you turn the lights on in the day it makes sod all difference as the white just blends in. it only makes a difference at night. i do find myslef staring at it all when in an underground carpark though [attachment=0]090711_155153.jpg[/attachment]

tbh any combination is possible, your imagination is the limit. and keeping track of which packet you picked the led out of

cut the 30 sign down then take pic? nah im only joking. cov is terrible for randomly posting speedlimits with very few/confusing signs at parts. i juts plod through being tailed cos im not going fast enough. we zedders shall not be rushed!

it'll look like a driverless car as she blends in with the seats

Dear god, and you lived, the first mention of woodend and everybody checks thier pockets for theft! what a hole!

sad to hear :'(

yeah actually the weather is to a scottish island but your to drunk to notice! you must be buned to a crip by now??

nice you may have to learn sign language to continue to communicate with him though...

right, im turning in for the night. ive put all the AC back together, that same blue led is still illuding me though its for the recurculation so im not to fussed at the moment. i can open it up again when im doing the dial etc. im knackered and so my gift to you is the completed AC system (ish ) [attachment=0]090711_001523 - Copy.jpg[/attachment] im way too tired to take a better pic so youll have to make do till the guide...

got lots of spares lying about so once i have a bit of time i will pick your brains are all the leds your replacing the same size ? indeed they are. basically i read up on all the different how to's people did on the american sites and checked out the spec of the led's they are using, found a uk supplied equivilant and hey presto! ill put all the details in the write up. youll just have to bear with me i have a busy weekend planned

thought you might

Cov! holy c**p im amazed your alive!

lol reds for old saxos green would look amazing but you would need the car to pull it off aswell

oh and ill get the triposd out i think to take the proper pics of the finished article that way youll be able to see the white in the doors cos i'll put the shutter speed right.

well im nearly there, one pesky blue is being a little bugger but im nealry there i put some of it back together to see what it looked like and here we go : (its not pushed all the way home so it will be slightly brighter than this.) (i have nicer pics on the camera, these are phone.)

That looks awesome mate lovely pictures

OH! you caught me lol well im gonna keep going till ive put the AC back together. the door switches look good at night its so much cleaner looking and more modern. i think if you look at the time stamps on my posts you can see how long it takes if your plodding along taking many breaks and pissing about. it not that time consuming tbh its just fiddly. i like it funny, i am more than happy to embark on this but im pooping myself about changing the drop links tomorrow. obviously not a mechanical engineer anywayheres some more teasers of the progress: a couple of bad solders ive to correct on 2 of the blue led's other than that the whole board in one go almost perfect first time [attachment=1]090710_224233.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=0]090710_224251.jpg[/attachment]

i would say, quite handy with a soldering iron! i bought a new smaller gas one to do this and im glad i did it makes a huge difference. tweezers would make it alot easier but im doing with a tiny screwdriver to chase the LED round the board anyway, down to bussiness. ive finished soldering the AC board im off to the car to test it, and guess what, its dark

now remember no matter what you read here, its gone horribly wrong and my car it up in a ball of flame, theres no way you should attempt this will that level of lie do for you marzman?
