I'm considering upgrading the headlights on my car to HID, but looking under the bonnet it looks a bit full and I don't know where I'd fit the ballast packs. Can anyone suggest a suitable location?
Cheers
If you can't get the corrosion on the calliper shot-blasted off, try this stuff from Bilt Hamber:

Cheers for the replies, much appreciated.
I'll look for some of the butyl sealant tape, that sounds much more user-friendly than mastic. I've since had the passenger door card off and that membrane has been badly refitted in the past - the window has been replaced at some point because there...
I've had the Drivers door card off my car today to investigate a window rattle and attempt my own dent removal!

Well it turns out the gas only lasted about 3 days before disappearing!
Had to go to a specialist for a pressure test because the local garage I'd initially gone to couldn't do a Nitrogen fill. They found a leak on the drier inlet connection. Replaced the seal and went back to the local...
Thanks for your reply. I got the system re-gassed and anti-bacteria treated today and it's now ice-cold!
For info, if anyone is interested there is 700g gas in the system (someone was asking in an old post)
The Air-Con isn't working in my car at the moment. Before I bought it it was standing around for about 2 years, only covering about 1000 miles a year.
The condition under the bonnet for a 15yr old car is very impressive and all the components look to be in good condition and I'm suspecting all...
Brilliant guide, very well written and illustrated. The airflow in my car was so bad I couldn't de-mist the windscreen on a trip out in the wain today. I am currently filter-less and have a footwell full of trim until I get a new element, but at least I can de-mist the windscreen using the now...
Wow, that was remarkably easy! What kicks it out of the Auto mode anyway? Having something stuck in the window as it goes up..?
Thanks for the solution, much appreciated.
Greetings everyone,

One minor niggle is that the driver's electric window does not operate in the "AUTO" mode. It goes up and down fine, but it won't go all the way up/down when the switch is fully pressed.
Can anyone help with a...
