Didn't want to do the oil cooler as that was a PITA! Glad it was that and not another problem elsewhere!  :smiley:
Running good now though...pics below:

^^^^love your engine bay mate!

Today I had a rare day off work to do as I pleased so I took my tailgate to bits to suss out this quad light lark!

I was interested to find the little box that makes the rear window into an FM aerial! (Sad I know). I took off the whip from the roof and made no change - but unplugging the rear screen aerial and the signal was useless. Interesting for possible future roof antenna mod to the sleek GPS style - whatever you call em!

I also de-lensed my rear fog light to make it match the clear of the reverse on t'other side. Looked quite cool, but on painting the bulb red - it all went back as red as it was before! :sad1:!!

I managed to prise the red filter out of the lens to give this clear effect - but you can see the bulb a bit too clearly. I then found that the clear diffuser comes away from the red filter to even it up a bit - but like I said, put a red bulb in and it all looked as red as it did before - so I put it all back to standard! :stupid:

How it was all clear without the clear diffuser - but obviously giving a white fog light :rolleye:





Dropped my brakes in today also and they seem confident they can sort me out! :party:

Sounds brilliant, how was the weather?!

I was up there last week and stopped at the cafe, was quite misty and cloudy and not much fun in my 1.3l asthmatic diesel Fiat Punto work car :driver:
