Re: Blank part of N/A guage

I've always had a hankering to illuminate the Volvo logo on the spare guage, but have not looked into it in any great depth...

... anyone else?

Re: My baby's turning into a money pit!

I've used online automotive (http://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk) for exhaust parts in the past and found them good value for money and pretty quick delivery via citylink.

Happy shopping

Re: Parts for Sale - Haynes Manual - Induction Kit - etc

Good to meet up with you too. Cheers for the parts. :D

Hope to get the springs fitted this week, once I source a set of compressors!

Theo's finger stopped bleeding eventually!!

That induction kit is a bargain, but I ain't got a turbo :cryhard:

Re: Best exhaust

Dunno 'bout the best, but I've used this lot when replacing my standard exhaust.

http://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk

Felt at the time they were reasonable cost-wise and received decent delivery if I remember rightly

Re: You've got a bulb out

have you cheacked the Registration lights?
From personal experience don't think these are on the 'bulb is out' circuit ... anyone else.

My favourite is the high level brake light which is intermittent, until I slam the hatch and the 'bulb out' light goes dims again! Ah bliss!!
