The crack on youtube is to unsolder all the leds and resolder new ones. I rattle too much for that shit.

Tbf no one has honked at me yet for not signaling right. I think they just accept it from audi drivers.

Maybe rig up a trafficator?

I'm sure that Merc would have an idea where to get one from.

Not yet. I'm just waiting for Eddie to find one for £40 delivered by cross referencing part numbers and adding discount vouchers. I'm really hoping the part number might match a reliant regal nearside fog light and He'll have one in his stash.

I could use hand signals. I seem to get plenty while I'm driving it.

I remember being about 18 and my gaffer was watching me having to use two hands to steady a screwdriver. He said 'you're going to have to lay off that broon ale son'.

Alternator £350 and you have to drop the subframe to fit it. I chopped it in for a new fabia in 2008 when the bastard shit it's head gasket at around 70k.
That fabia was a good car. Top spec and the 1.9tdi with a remap. 60mpg and went like a stabbed rat. Got rid when ex was pregnant with my daughter and bought the '05 V70 which I kept for over ten years till partner wrote the fucker off. I would've kept that car forever.
A family member had a 1994 Accord as a company car when it was new. I gave him a lift to the dealers to collect it after a service and while we were there we witnessed a lady rep with her 18 year old son collecting her company Civic. The conversation between her and the service manager was hilarious.

SM. "We've had to contact your company as having to replace the tyres and clutch after 9000 miles is unheard of, the car has been thrashed within an inch of its life"'

Lady Rep to her son. "WTF have you been doing to my car? If I lose my job over this I'll fucking kill you!"

Her lad went white and looked incredibly sheepish.

I've been could be swapping with Cpjitservices for his s type jag. I'm very keen but I'll have to approach partner as she loves the audi. So much so she has offered to buy it off me when I do get rid.
