    Headlight Bulbs

    yeah, they actually come in a plastic cover to protect the HID, but they're in fact H1 type inside the plastic cover.. installation wise, not too bad at all to be honest, and I didn't have to take the headlight cluster out... and got away without any drilling/making holes, as the whole setup...

    Headlight Bulbs

    light output wise, its really good, I mean I've been spending loads on trying different halogens from Philips to Osram, like night breakers or diamond visions... none of em really gave me much of a satisfaction as these ones that I installed a few months ago.. I mean, the light is as good and...

    CL7 Snapped Driveshaft.

    One thing I've been curious about is, are the driveshafts for CL models compatible with each other? I guess a question for you pros, like is a driveshaft from 2.2cdti fit a CL7 or CL9 or vice versa? also do driveshafts from auto fit for manual transmission cars for same model?

    2.4 petrol battery

    awesome mate... that's really helpful first I'll try and see if it is the ignition switch, as the car does start whenever my wife does it without the buzzing sound... I'm guessing it might be just me coz my CL7 is really soft to start and starts up nicely even in cold weather... whereas the...
