^^^^ Mine still works fine but seems to have damp inside it, not looking forward to that job, looks a PITA.
It's actually really easy, I've done 2 now and as long as you're careful its a 20 main job with no problems.

Your assuming im not a ham fisted idiot....which of course I am!

If she passes her MOT in the morning, im leaving it be!!  :innocent:

It was easy getting it out.. Stuffing all the cable back in was a bit of a pain!

Thats the thing, I'm a ham fisted idiot, every time I fix something I break something else. You just break the lens/ pull the LED strip out/ remove the old one/ as above the cable gromet is a bit of a PITA then bang in the new one.

If you find yourself in the South East and fancy fitting yet another one I supply Tea, Coffee and (if a good job) Milk Chocolate Hob Nobs!  :wink:

Doesn't feel lower, was expecting to fall into the seat the first time I got in, does feel a bit former over bumps but it's not none rattling.

Went up to Andorra in the Pyrenees. Thought i would introduce the kids to the snow. Should have checked the weather it was -6 and 60kmh+ winds by the time we got out of the car park the kids were moaning they were cold.

Learnt a few things if we are to take the golf away longer than one day we will need a roof rack & Trailer as the wife packs too much sh*t. Don't buy a two door in Spain as you have no chance of the wife getting out without hitting the doors.

A quick fill up before we left €1.08 for 98 Ron :smiley:
