Would smoked ones look better or just red tinted ?

washing machine powder will do it,in as hot as you dare water (rubber marigolds optional) any oil marks may not come out, Ive been known to use a dab of petrol on those.

Just back from Maplins, to cut a long story short its a bulb. The clocks dont have the ye old condom style over them merely a row of filters, I suppose thats quality nothing like using an old rubber again is there :lol!: So 59p and a not quite the same bulb and not so bright, but some of these main beam blue bulbs are too bright at night anyway arnt they? funny how it passed the last twice in the same place though without it. Thanks to all posters and Chrishill for his Prompt get the dash out instructions. Roy 'chubbybrown' p.s just need to wait n see if it passes now. Grr

Ok boys brew over, its a white led as far as I can tell and its a 1989 car. I swopped it with the indicator one and it worked fine in the main beam slot. I might buy two then :-) Wish me luck at maplins FORUM POWER :-D

Seen them done in about 30 seconds on a toyota. in the old ford days,all that happened was a an electric drill onto the gearbox speedo cable and no dash out etc. thats the first time this dash has been out of me car all for a daft LED with thanks to Chrishill its on its way to being Cured FORUM POWER :-D Edit it was a Bulb EEK

Well dash is out :-) and its the LED as I tried the indicator one in the slot so it worked ! so where do you reckon gents ? ?? Maplins are close,just need to sort the horn staying on *lol* Gonna have a brew and will return chubbz

HI all fellow forumites. Car failed MOT today as the main beam blue bulb on dash isnt working. Are they easy to change? and anyway of doing it without removing dashboard etc Feel free to fill thread,off to get car and hopefully have some replies when I come back,they said they will test it if I return it today thanks again Roy

As fas as I know you need 3 bottles for a 16v do a search its bound to have been discussed

Clarkson had his down to 11mpg whilst testing it. makes the VR look an angel Chubbz

its a known problem and Im sure covered prior maybe a search on here will help your quest

'upgraded' from a mk1 Golf Gti to a corrado We didnt think anything else compared to the Mk1 Golf in stature or reliabilty

I dont Believe it.......... SOME OLD TWAT in a Rover 25 a gold one I may add indicated and pulled out in front of me in town last night,with me stamping the horn he drove off,so I sat along side him at the lights and wound the window down,he says didnt you see me indicate? so I said your not a fucking Bus,didnt you see the car how can you miss it,its a yellow car? So he said you better watch thats road Rage,Rage I could have chinned the 3 of them,he reckons you can pull out into traffic without waiting,Dosey TWAT Sorry but thats it all Rover 25 drivers Need to be sent to china along with the bits that make them. Rage Over. Oh P.s twit the 'i' should be an 'a'

Well Bigrims got it right,they reckon suppliesa re back on track and we should see a 3-4p drop in the next few weeks. Grangemouth had 1 protester who was at the gate,everybody thought it was unfair just didnt want to do anything about it physically. We had the airlines phoning us just incase the Jet-A1 was blocked at gatwick etc.

what a long time its taken Glad your happy and have some pennies back in the bank

Old skool well in sort of age Mini Cooper S,Merc convertible,Hillman twin cam,Triumph Dolomite sprint,RS2000,Lancia Hf turbo,RS 500,RS200 or a split new corrado Vr6 New cars have gone boring,No wonder I fancy another Bike

I was but never with my own car. always had Ford demos home :-) or up the town break it,give it back :-D

Welcome... A wise choice of car to buy for lots of reasons...

A Rover 25 is the least likely car to be stopped by cops so I read the other day,probably as they always look like they are stopped. Do they still call em boys racers? As for Kate, I wouldnt kick her out of bed if she farted unlike our Valver ;-)

what does it mean as Im Stupid

This is why many bikers drive with main beam on as the laser supposedly cant get a fix on the bike being so narrow ? what do you minds think of this ?

Well Driving for Bp the rumour on the street corners is that wednesday is the day it 'could' start so make sure your topped up by then. until then check this out for laughs http://www.petroldirect.com/index.htm cheers chubbzy

The Local Audi/vw specialist has one a loaner but a mk3 very nice actually and I was surprised !

This made me laugh... 316's + 318's bottom rung of the BMW gene pool :dorky: ,no matter how new it is. its not worthy of any praise unless its a 328 or a diesel jobby ! Beemers used to be special once,honed and genuine quality Now they are just mass produced crap,I'd rather a Honda :oops: chubbz

I cant believe the cops havent come to take a statement. Is crimestoppers a national thing or just in Scotland? If you know a crime is going to be commited then they are obliged to act on it and it is in confidence,run by a charity but directly answered by the law. i think I'd be the calm one if it happened but the Mrs would flip her box
