Also, as had the doors in pieces, decided to get the LED handle lights in.

Went with one LED initially..

Ok, but not very bright..


Then two...

Better, but could do with being more diffused.


So, settled on three :)

Just got to feed the cables back through the door connector, and get them back together, but that's a job for tomorrow..

Nice!

I did one a while back, never did get round to doing the other side :|

I should really get that done!

Fitted refurbed MFSW controls - finally! Went with plastic primer and 5-6 coats of black bumper paint. Will have to see how it holds up.

Thanks mate. Definitely a job you only want to be doing once in a lifetime (or paying Dietcokeman to do it for you!).

got up at 3am as the alarm was going off (i've replaced the bonnet switch a few months ago so i don't think it is that) - it's been parked up for 6-7 weeks at my mums as we started some building work, building work is at knock through stage so moved into my mum's .. anyway the battery was almost completely flat. I was in a panic pressing buttons and the passenger window dropped 8 inched (thats 6 if your female and reading this) and then lost all power so couldn't close it again :( shoved a bin liner over the gap to try and keep any moisture out (it stuck to the wet car so didn't need weighting down - result). I did put the trickle charger for a couple of days but i think i let it get too flat so it wouldn't charge... jump started it at 7.30 this morning and let it run for a bit.. will take it for a spin over lunch to see if i can get a bit of charge into it else it'll be a new battery..

Find someone with DIS or Carly software to clear it, DIS is better at diagnostics than Carly but both should sort it.
