Did front lights, now have sidelight LED's and some osram nightbreaker headlights. Far better than the mix match that was in them

How did you go about it? My driver door sill seems to have a tonnes of water sitting on it when I open it if it's been raining. Don't want it getting bad and into the foot wells.

There is a really good guide on here if you search for leaky doors ypu will find it. It's pretty straightforward, the hardest and most important part is getting all of the old stuff off in the area where it is perished.

Had quite a busy evening.

Started of with a stuck shut bonnet So iI took the badge out and fiddled around until it opened.

I dismantled, cleaned, greased and refitted the catch.

I painted the front s matt black


Whilst that was drying I fitted new sidelights and fog bulbs. Refitted the s badge and then raised the car into the air to fit my yellow powerflex dogbone bushes!

Cheers for that, I had thought about HIDs but I already have them in my dipped beam so I just needed something better than my standard El Cheapo bulbs for the main beam.

Find them really good mate, can see a lot more than the oe bulbs that were in before

Just ordered some Butyl tape from ebay now as when had to fix the door lock the seal had to be broke and I didn't sort it then....... hinsight is an awesome thing :censored:

Just repaired driver door seal curtesy of the thread provided by lee69. All appears good apart from the rear window locking button does not appear to work. Hopefully a fuse!
