Depends how you define bad....
They are an incredibly complex vehicle and are getting on a bit to say the least - anything from 8 to 15 years old.
Some have been looked after with no expense spared, others have been neglected.
I love mine and don't intend to change it for a long time - and then I'll probably just get a newer Rangie. So in the meantime, I've got to pay out for repairs or leave my "investment" (and I use the term VERY loosely) sitting outside.
This weekend I've got to replace the driver's door window regulator and maybe look at the transmission fluid again.
Hey ho, if you can't take a joke, don't buy a P38!

Hi all
well got around to fitting my HID kit £59.99 from fleebay inc p&p works very well took 40 mins to do both sides but you have to remove the battery to get at the offside bulb.
no dash warning lights either so a happy upgrade and amazing clear white 800k light.
thanks for your input all will post an ebay link if any one else thinking of upgrading.

Update on the legality questions.
Range adjusters (height) washers wipers etc aren't neccessary for HID's although they are illegal if not fitted inside a projector beam unit (the little balls inside the headlight that looks like a magnifying glass).
As a result, the only real legal HID kits would be H7's as no H4's that I know of were fitted with projector beams (wait to be corrected).
A standard head could be modified and a projector beam fitted although its probably easier to fit an L322 headlight instead.
Quick edit, most MOT testers couldn't give a toss as long as the beam is correct hence the pass rate with H4 HID kits fitted.

I fitted 4 of these units on my MG ZT-T, 2 dip & 2 main, the only issue's I found were finding space to fit the ballast units and the "Strike" delay when you switch to main which can be intersting when you want light in a hurry, like when you want to indicate to the driver coming the other way with their main beem on what a tw*t he/she is. !!

A long shot I know as this was posted a year ago but any chance you could look up the seller ID in your purchase history as the link doesnt work any more and my hids have packed up and I need another set.
