Just got the lights done today, bump stop hadn't arrived. I'll do the o/c catches tomorrow.
Here's some picies of lights before and after. Was a bit stumped tho when indicated left or right and had hazards going! Turned out to be the dash mounted single indicator warning lamp :banghead:
Right side lamp had blown anyway!
all on
They are real nice lamps but the supplied screws are ****e, broke two off at the rear trying to screw into galv, had to drill just the galv out bigger than screw. And one had a head type that I didn't have a bit for!

Here's a link on eBay, they're£15 each but I got Santa to thank for most of them. The seller also does them in batches for the full lot and also do nas ones.
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=390448458061
Looking at getting Hid conversion too for the H4 bulbs, they're about £30 -£40

Fixed dickie seat that wouldn't lock upright
Re-attached trim panel to driver's seat, with the help of some judicious whittling on the crappy push-fit placcy plugs
Fault finding on heated front screen - 170 ohm both sides, so I guess it's Just Knackered
Replaced locking wheelnuts I chewed up the other day with new non locking
Inspired by nigel1943's cautionary tale, had a 10 minute crawl around underneath - bit of slop in a few bits and bobs, including drag link ball joint, will order parts tonite

Fitted a new thermostat......what was going to be a stress free couple of hours max turned into an all day swear fest......grabbed my viscous spanner to whip the fan off ..... I have not had the fan of this 110 yet and imagine my delight when I realised that my fan spanner which I originally bought for a 200tdi is too small for the td5 fan. Off to halfords and of course they only sell the double ended type with 32mm one end and 36mm the other, so now I have a spare 32mm viscous fan spanner if anybody wants it! Back home and 2 minutes later fan off - easy. Fukkin stoopid bastard hose clips...... the 2 on the top of the thermostat caused no major issues, but access to the bottom one is limited and the clips were positioned in such a way that i struggled to get anything of them to release the c%*t. Old stat off and new one on took about 5 mins, but those 3 clips had me effin and jeffin for about 2 hours.
Once fitted, coolant added and off for a drive - even thought I have little skin on my knuckles and I am hoarse from shouting I FUKING LOVE MY (wife's) LANDY!

They are the spring clip type not worm gear/ screw type. In the end I used some mole grips to grab the clips and squeeze 'em tight, and I spent 30 mins looking for them in the garage before asking the missus if she had seen them. Found them in the bedroom......apparently her nipple clamps are broken and mole grips do just as good a job!!
