OEM Strut Brace & Battery Issues

Today, I completed my de-tango mission. Tomorrow my car will no longer have amber headlights :)

However, my success comes with 2 sad stories :cry:

1. My OEM strut bar (the one which is made up of two bars, which join in the middle of the engine bay at the rear) - has come off its nearside strut mount. Is this a weld job to get it fixed??? The nut is still in place, it's like the metal has snapped at the join to the strut :(

2. I disconnected the battery to do the headlights. The headlights have some sealant which needs to dry. I tried to start the car to tuck it up in the garage over night, but when I turned the key something went "pop" and now no dash lights, nothing. I have disconnected the battery again, and hope I havent done any damage.

Anyone have experience of either of these issues? Help!

As you've found the firewall strut braces do have a habit of snapping their mounts.

Have you checked your fuses?
 
Going to do a full check of everything once the headlights are back in :thumbsup:

Need to find a decent Indy that can weld

Agree :thumbsup:

Just spent 40 mins trying to reset the fecking windows after having the battery disconnected. Turns out Shipkiller is still the God of Windows :D

Glad to hear you are making steady mod progress though Adam ...

Depends what it is your looking to do, rear lights, side indicators fron lights, Basically its a case of changing them out, Plenty of threads on here reference light changing. :thumbsup:
