A little phone camera teaser for you the first of many "Whitey's" as ive dubbed them [attachment=0]090710_202219.jpg[/attachment]

already consumed a packet of crumpets and 4 cups of tea its an engineer thing

used this http://crackaddict.com/~flynn/howtos/sh ... .howto.htm properly hurt myslef lol strained my shoulders and chest muscle. actually not going to be able to go climbing tonight now my knob is officially off though and im onto soldering the ac controls!

im gettting really miffed now i cant find the how to on removing gearn knob!

i think i need a photographer. i get so engrossed in doing it i forget ill take some snaps and nab some of the good posts off my350. i dont mind taking it all apart again tbh its such an easy car to work with. i had a hard look at the driver side led's before i changed them and the brightness is exactly the same its just white blends in in the daylight where as orange stands out. so at night it should be quite visible. there was one problem i have had though. the light for the folding mirror is not an LED! its a tiny tiny bulb. now thats lazy design work there. i get the feeling looking at the design of the mirror control unit that its taken from a different vehicle line. its in its own seperate box. there was a diffuser ofver the bulb. took that off and it just made it more orange there was nothing for it, i just had to take it out so it doesnt mess up my colour scheme. i plan to get a 3mm led i think ive got one hanging around and try that in its place. time for the AC controls and some tugging at my knob in preperation for sunday.

is everybody looking for one of those these days? two guys i know have already said exactly that to me. weird.

why??

OK! Ive changed the single LED in the passenger door to white. good news, the soldering is **** easy i dont know what everone is whining about and i didnt even use tweezers! bad news, maybe. the white led is really dim, i dont know how this compares to the orange. im going to have to take the drivers side out to compare them in the same light, it is sunny outsde and in that light you can barely see the orange drivers side anyway so untill its dark i wont know if the LED's i have will do the trick. fingers crossed. or, can someone tell me how easy it is to see the orange glow from the passenger window switch in the daylight? eg can you see it turning on and off while sitting in the drivers seat? would be good to have 2 side by side really...

if the dipstick has no reading on it could it mean theres not enough oil to reach the dipstick level?? happend to me once. not good!

martinmac, you got anything to do with this?

you havent seen my forearms if i do that i'll rip half the car off (rock climber) i assume the torque settings 'll be in the service section i cant get into at work. will check at home, cheers

yeeeey!

as im doing this at the weekend i was wondering if anyone had any more detailed information such as torque settings of the bolts etc. A workshop manual guide or something of that nature? im sure its probably simple, i just like to be prepared to save me screwing it up (no pun intended)

nooooooooooo

so how much money am i actually going to have left after i buy all your shiny wares?

right. just went down to look at the shiny polished one and it does look good. the rear sort of works somehow in the flesh, it has good presence aswell as its so big.

good point hey im not marketing *shrug* i just prod at wires aimlessly

judging by the amount i spent on wash material of late i think im going to agree! still, as long as i dont bother with another girlfreind its all ok

i think the guys with the post 2006 models are paying £400 odds

£225 or something like that i think cos its an earlier model.

Only time will tell to be honest, who knows what will happen. fingers crossed

Security torx bolts per chance?
