UPDATE TIME:
Right yesterday i had a guy i know come out and sort out a few niggly problems i had as got the MOT coming up so thought as better time as any even though some dont even come on an MOT. the problems i got sorted are:
1. bad earth to the horn
2. found out which ABS sensor has gone
3. got cruise control re-configured so it now works again
4. got the diesel additive counter reset as filled it but didnt have equipment to reset it
5. sorted out auto wipers
So glad its all sorted out now and got it all done at a bargain price too :)

Today came round and car was booked in to have a new windscreen put in as mine had a big crack in it from previous owner and also today had a few packages turn up, got the newer style LED rear lights as mine were a little bit tatty, new tax disc holder, new headlight bulbs 100W and a temp sensor! Heres some pics:
Lights:


Old vs New:




Fitted to car:


All bits:


Things to do for the MOT now is fit droplinks(already got) and fit ABS sensor(already got) then its all ready to go! due on the 17th but ill try and get it in the week before!

Comments appreciated :)

Lights look spot on fella.

On my list to do after the new year once I have replaced my tyres and wheel bearing.

New lights look loads better dude.

luke im going to need 2 front tyres in the near future mate too, but how easy they were to fit and how much they cost think it looks alot better :)

cheers for the comments barratt and ben its getting there slowly how i want it, looks so much fresher though with the newer lights

Which tyres you going for?

I opted for Michelin Primacy. Expensive, but very good. 205/55 R17.

not sure mate decide a little bit nearer too, from working in the garge before i do know the michelins are good :)

look steady with new style lights dnt thy....clutch started slippin last nite on mine just after id decided 2 keep it lol soo gona have it done but a solid flywheel conversion

Well today was the dreaded MOT time and i was confident but stil had that feeling in the back of my mind it would fail lol id already done a couple of things for it like new windscreen, ABS sensor and droplink.

Turned up to the garage at 2 and in it went, hour later i was told all it needs is a N/S track rod end so got that done and a 12month ticket :) well happy! got couple of advisories which are: O/S front tyre getting low on edge, lower arm bushes starting to deteriorate but no play! nothing costly or major :)

Also got a parcel arrive which was my K&N panel filter, got recommended by luke so got one and will fit it very soon! all in all a good day! (alsoot my PT stickers to fit)
Heres some pics:







Hope you all enjoy :)

whr did u get your panel filter from? hit a pothole yesterday...got a bit further dwn road and heard a bangin managed 2 get home...sorted it 2day it had completely ripped the top rubber strut...pushed the shocker straight through it lol....changed the both...just glad it didnt scrap the rim

Got it from ebay mate, £25 posted which i thought was decent tbh

God you was lucky to of not got anymore damage, cost you much to sort out? you going to claim from the pothole or not bother?
