These type.
I thought as much. these are the feckers that keep in flickering and failing but good for adjusting and keeping the light at bay.

I'll have to purchase as set of the others linked earlier as I'm fed up of those cheap ones now.  :sad1:
I'll just tint them to dim them down.  :happy2:

Same issue with similar bulbs, they are naff! One turns on when I fire up, but then flickers or is off when I stop, let me know how you get on with the others you've mentioned.

(Vw/Newbie)

RetroRaz from here, fitted my speed clocks as its kph and not mph, due to it being an Japanese import. It was starting to annoy me me after three weeks. Good job by him :-)

Yesterday, not today, but I had a big day at AKS with Alex and his colleague (Chris I think).

- new front discs and pads
- new rear discs and pads
- decoke/cleaning of the inlet valves
- replace oil pick up pipe
- carbonio air intake and ITG panel filter fitted
- forge short shifter and 42 draft bushes fitted
- Powerflex dog bone engine mount and bushes fitted
- Wheel spacers fitted
- Revo settings checked and timing adjusted

The inlet valves were absolutely caked, Alex is going to ping me the photo's, so I'll get them up soon. My Ed30 has done 104k and definitely needed it done.

It was my first visit to AKS and it certainly won't be my last, even though it's a 180 mile trip from South West London. Top class blokes and top class service.  :happy2:

Yeah when funds allow I'll be upgrading the whole headunit to a Pioneer DAB one, with all the SAT NAV built in and stuff.
I've got ample music on my spotify and phone though for now.
