Not if you learn to order in bulk not just as when needed .)
The bulbs used to be 2p each in bulk if they are the type that mount in plastic holders, I still have a hundred or so in stock, I used to fit new bulbs in the old holders for a garage, sold them at half the dealer trade price to a garage and still made a handsome proft.:D

They are sealed bulb holders unless you want to solder them unlike the dash ones where you can remove the bulb from its holder yea prices are steep nowadays .
 
ive done over 500 trouble free miles over 3 days, 200+miles with a heavey plant trailer loaded with front and rear salisbury axles for my project. most of yesterdays miles were at 10-20mph as the a38 and m1 were a f*****g nightmare yesterday evening. not many miles today but loads of work dragging my car trailer(with granada) out of the yard and pushing the plant trailer with said axles in. sounds easy but its all mud at the entrance with a tree root that throws you off course.
maybe starting to like the damn thing.
 
I decoked the EGR valve then disabled it. Shortly after I got a callout for MRT so went for a drive. Performance wise it has slightly more poke low end, still unsure until it is allowed to properly cool down, but I think the sluggish when cold issue is cured too. Will know tomorrow morning.

I am not sure how much is me just wishing it made a difference, but I'm sure the exhaust note is slightly different when underload but not WoT. I suppose it makes sense as no gasses are being recirced now, but I still think it is me wanting to hear a change.
 
Got an EAS warning again after I started the engine then immediately wound down the front windows. The pump works and the suspension lifts ok. Fecking weird, because that's what happened the last time, but it sorts it's self out.

So, go read the faults, sooner or later it's going to leave you on the bump stops.

If the EGR was sticking, you might notice a difference, otherwise apart from the lack of crap in the manifold its pretty undetectable IMO

Cheers Datatek. Am I better to read the faults when the fault happens, or will I still get a fault code reading even though the problem seems to have sorted it's self?
 
plugged in the lap top with eas software from rsw solutions ready for changing the bags next week, works a treat all the info is there on u tube
