Drove and drove. That's now 1800miles on the new tc and box. Opened up the revs a bit used the throttle a bit used sport mode a bit rather then being 100 twinkle toes.
I think iv found my water/damp in the boot that caused my stereo issue loaded up at 510am and it was raining in Scotland believe it or not.
Rear window misted so put the demist on and seen a water mark right in the middle of the rear window. Turns out my 3rd brake light is cracked so i wonder if its that.

I believe it depends on year they are not on mine 97 y, so they may have come in on the 98 99 update,
i picked up a couple of door ones to fit then took the panels out to do work on the car and the panels stayed out so never fitted them
Mine's a 2000 and has footwell light just behind brake pedal. Take off panel under steering wheel (the large piece with 4 screws) and you can get to it easily

Our 2001 has them and so does the old 96 (autobiography) so guess it was a trim level thing.

i suppose i'm not really fussed, just one of those things you notice when the rest of the car is lit up, mines HSE wherever that fits into the trim level scheme
things cant be too bad if I'm worried about a light to show me where the pedals are
still not got to the bottom of the tapping/knocking noise narrowed it down to a lifter or rocker I think, but hate 'throwing money' on nothing more than a vague hope. seen other threads where folks have same/similar noises and replaced just about everything to no avail

You going to have to pull off bits matey to be sure...still not got to the bottom of the tapping/knocking noise

A trim option maybe?

I would be tempted to pull the rocker shafts off and check all the steel pads on each rocker it's not uncommon for the to wear down or even break off. I had a few bad one on mine so replaced the lot it's a pretty simple thing todo and cured mine
I believe you are correct.
notice you say a symptom was noise hot or cold, mine is only when hot. sometimes it goes away with a blip of the throttle, other times you can hear it at 1500 revs.
I saw a post a while back that said if it was a bad lifter, it would be noisy on startup, where mine is quiet.
'thinking out loud to myself'... it can't be anything other than a single lifter.. reason being, its around 3 taps per second (roughly) and if it was a rocker, it wouldnt go away with a few revs?
720rpm(idle) ÷ 60secs = 12
12 ÷ 4 = 3
is that genius?
think i need to get a cam, 16 lifters and oil pump gasket ordered!!! pretty sure you dont need anything else?
Rocker gaskets?
Timing chain case gasket?
Timing chain case gasket?
timing chain gasket.. thats what i meant
rocker gaskets might not go amiss, they do weep slightly
difference? i dont know how many miles it has done. it 'sounds' quiet enough from that perspective.
last time i did a p38 timing chain, only britpart seemed to make the bits, made me wonder if a worn oem bit was better than the alternative?

My 1995 DT has the undertrays with the square hole but not the actual light units. Door puddle lights are plenty to be able see I find

Have heard quite a bit about cheep ones wearing out, or go for a kent cam with just a little bit more power and torque.
