Hi,

Just wanted to say that i have serviced her for the first time.
Changed the breather too (vortex) and get nil black smoke. She pulls like a train now!  8)

Next- brake Discs, pads, diesel filter (dealer sent wrong version >:() and left side mirror puddle light.
Yes, I've changed the interior bulbs to those smd bulbs and the car looks amazing now. Managed to open the driver side Wing mirror cover (spent half hour on it making sure i do not break any clips) but for some reason i can't seem to open the passenger side mirror cover. Will give it a go tomorrow. Any tips?
For some reason the rear passenger leg lights do not work, even the original ones since I've opened them. Didn't break anything, am i doing something wrong?
And finally - angel eyes. Awaiting seller to send a working lead, as the one he sent keeps coming off. Would it be a problem if i use black electrical tape, or will it burn the tape by overheating?

Best
Sonny

Maybe the problem with the interior lights is that the bulbs, if they are the capsule ones it is possible you have put them in the wrong way around, unlike your old element ones the LED's are polarity conscience , so flip them over and retry.
As far as the other lights go, be cautious of poor connections, they generate heat, as well as will throw canbus messages all the time.
