Hello all, I've read lots of posts concerning the problems encountered with LED light conversions. I'm hoping you can tell me that these all stem from the way the car is wired and original relays etc not being designed for LED's So I'm hopeful you can tell me I won't have the same problems if I...

Apologies for raking up an old subject, but be assured I've read all the posts on the subject before posting in desperation. I've just had a galvanised chassis rebuild, so I'm in too deep to give up on this. My 1999 TD5 has been temperamental to start (turning over but no firing) since I had it...
