Finally got round to fitting the Xenon headlights I've had in the garage for a couple of months. Start to finish it took 2.5 hours and was completely painless.

My last three Golfs had Xenon headlights, as good as Osram Nightbreaker plus bulbs are they are nowhere near as good as Xenon headlights.

Just got to find a rear levelling sensor then i can retrofit auto levelling  :smiley:

First engine mod - sort of  :grin:

Went to check the oil level this morning and noticed the top of the air intake was missing, checked around the engine bay and couldn't find it so can only assume it dropped out somewhere over the last week. Bought the part from TPS only to find Rev E has since been superseded by Rev J which is a slightly different shape meaning you also have to swap out part if the intake housing, both parts came to less than £10 so not exactly expensive.

That might be an option. Getting a little annoyed with breakers sending me incorrect or broken parts so i might just buy new.

New part number for the rear sensor from 01/05/2008 is 1K0 941 273 L - £130:21

However, these could be worth an email

Cleaned the hell out of the Golf yesterday but didn't get to finish it until today due to "Clayers thumb" Also fitted some number plate LEDs.
