I agree though, I like how it drives, it seems to fly!!
But I sold the Type R, because I have a bad back and because I wanted an AWD, so its definitely going back on. I think it's the end of the month when I'm getting it.

I like the bulbs make a surprising difference

The indicator bulbs, can you not see the orange tint missing?? Or your winding me up?
Thanks for the comments

oh yeah

i weren't looking at them

Got the garage to change the brake and clutch fluids, gear changes are now much easier and the bite is a good bit higher too, it was just off the floor with the old fluid and the brakes feel firmer too

Gave it an oil and filter change too.

I like the look of those chrome bulbs.

All parts except VCU now ready for the weekend:
- 2 new front struts
- 2 new front driveshafts
- OS TRE
- OS new strut top mount (bit of an experiment, might need a NS one as well)
- OS top engine mount

Picking up the VCU first thing Saturday morning from deepest darkest Norfolk, and having the ABS fault codes cleared to check I have solved the HDC warning light problem.

Hopefully this will then be it. Recon IRD and VCU, plus fully serviced including belts, plus new front suspension, plus other little issues sorted, should give me a well sorted Freelander by the time it gets dark on Saturday. Shame the weather will be colder for getting the work done!!

How do you find them? Are they better than proper bulbs?

I've done that and now what ever I try I can't get it to go back on and even any other mirror so I'm left mirror less for the rest of my life.......

A lot more light in the boot. I haven't done any reversing yet, but they lit my garage up rather well. Here's a link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-Pcs-400...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e753bca01

Any reason for chosing the 7 watt bulbs rather than the more powerful 12 watt version
