    LED headlights and other lights

    Retrofitted led bulbs arenot allowed. But no if the led replacement light unit is e marked and approved by a testing body (and I don't mean fake emarked like lots of the eBay ones) then it's not illigal. Not sure why your quoting all that hid ****. No one mentioned fitting hids.

    but as i said if LR are fitting them then surely using quality items adjusted correctly it should be no different. Surely it would not have been allowed if dangerous as per fitting HIDS or retrograde bulbs into reflector units not designed.

    i remember a lad i met on the west coast who had a big 50+" light bar on his roof , LED headlights , a light bar on the bumper , DRLS etc looked like aliens were landing - and equally melted my car when i came out the dip. I did wonder if the guy was blind - i certainly was afterwards

    Driving up the lane to my.house it transpires that the issue is not with my lights. They are plenty bright. How ever with the gigawatts being pumped out by other cars coming towarss my lights are reduced to two tiny puddles.

    cheers hicap . i currently reverse up my drive with the hazards on because the reverse light rarely works without hitting it and im fed up replacing the units with more cheap ****e units.

    When i say cheap they are still 210 quid. I'm not looking at the 40 quid jobs off ebay - those look horrific. I have crystals , boomslang and nightbreakers. - and yes i probably just need to change the bulbs as the hue is now very yellow - but for anyone who has a winch bumper and light guards...

    200tdi Brake Vacuum pump repair kit P/N

    other than the famous four one - does any one have the correct part number for the brake vacuum pump refurb kit for a 200tdi ? got advisory for lack of vac on last mot so best change it before the next one..... pipe work is good and it gives a tiny bit of vac but not much - unless revved

    Chassis removed what to do? Video

    Just seen your reply. Not that you care as your going to do your own thing regardless. Series chassis were 4 plates welded together as you plan to do. 90 onwards were 2 u /c profile welded together in the center and welded up the center. So you'll not end up with a direct replacement for...

    Original chassis is 2 u channels and then full depth side plates. Not just a case of cutting out a side profile from sheet
