evening all, Kain is home

 

Very easy. The hard bit will be finding a replacement bulb!

 

Thats good news H, all the best matey.

 

oh god that sounds about right lol any suggestions??

 

Give API a call. They may have some in the filing cabinet and they could post it out to you. Its just a philips screwdriver to remove the dials, 3 wiring plugs, and then the bulb unclipped. They are all clear bulbs, its the background that gives them the green or blue colour tone..

 

Nice One mate don't suppose u have the number for them and how much are they ???

Here you go...

 

Nice one mate how much u reckon they will be

 

Thats good news H

 

Aint got a clue, so somewhere between 1p and £10 each. My guess is the postage will cost more than the bulb itself, but it will be less than the cost of the petrol to drive there. Dont "hound" David too much,,,, he`s building me an engine

 

Ha ha ha cheers for all That buddy will give him a call later oohhhh what's the spec of the engine he's building for ya then

 

Its a forged 2.5 with SC46 billet twin-scroll, and supporting bits and bobs.

 

I remember having to repalce one of the green bulbs behind the heater controls on mine and it cost about £8 from Subaru!

 

Hiya mate, the below is from memory but should cover it all!

I used Halfords grey Plastic Primer and Halfords Satin Black.

• Remove 2 screws from back of light
• Put light into oven for around 10 mins at around 80 degrees
• Get out of oven and use a large flat-head screwdriver (or 2) to slot between the lens and the headlight unit and seperate them
• Once apart, undo the 2 screws holding the reflectors into place and remove them
• Now put the headlight unit and lens to one side
• Seperate the main headlight reflector and the rest of the reflectors/background
• Unclip the orange blob on the lens (indicator) and throw over a hedge
• Unclip clear plastic dome on the lens (sidelight) remember to put back on
• Mask the indicator area of the lens
• Rub down all the shiny bits you want paitning with some wet and dry paper to give the paint a good key (600 should do the trick)
• Spray 2 or 3 light coats of Halfords Grey Plastic Primer
• Leave to dry for an hour or 2
• Spray 2 or 3 light coats of Halfords Satin Black
• Leave to dry overnight
• Put the reflectors back together, re-fixing the sidelight dome, and re-screw to lens
• Use black silicone (I used Loctite stuff from Halfords) to line to whole recess of the headlight unit - there will still be a fair bit of the old glue left in here too, but it will need heating up again to work so...
• Put headlight unit in oven for 10 minutes again on 80 degrees
• Remove from oven and place back together with the other half of light (reflector and lens)
• Re-place 2 small screws in the back of the headlight unit
• Now put a seal of black silicone around the whole of the mating edge of the headlight to prevent anything getting in or out (water and condensation!!!). Smooth this over with your finger to make it look smarter.
• Leave overnight for everything to dry properly.
• Now put your home-made STI look-a-like headlights back on your Scooby.

 

AndyP will be interested in that mod Tom

You have a text re something else

H

 

Makes a stupendous difference to the front end especially on silver ones.

 

Thanks Tom for that I'm now summoning up the courage to have a go

Really wanted to take the TypeR for a blast today but forgot to charge her up, DOH !

 

morning guys

 

morning,
Spent yet another morning trying to track down this mysterious knock which no garage can seem to correctly identify. I'm starting to think its the prop shaft as the noise now appears to be coming from the middle of the vehicle as well as the rear.

 

Is it there all the time or is it intermitant ? Over bumps etc.. Turning ... ?

 

there will be a new addition to the wmi family shortly .....

 

Mainly when pulling away/ manoeuvring slowly, Applying power from coasting or simply lifting the clutch suddenly when changing gear. I've had new suspension and a rear diff so I know its not that. Its driving me insane and costing me a fortune mate.

 

Are we talking about cars or babies!?

 

Will happily have a look for you at MVS when you can shoot down won't cost you anything to take a look mate.

 

Hey Jonnfin, dropped you a PM

 

Double DOH

 

Take a guess andy lol you ok anyways? Not seen you around lately

 

Lagamorph pop it down mine when you get 2mins and ill have a look/drive, also get MVS or thwaites to look at it.
