Changing the sidelights,
funkycooljem replied to AlexTRea's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
i had this fun job on sunday, thought i may as well change the side and headligts as i was takin the lot out. put in some halfords extreme brilliance bulbs and was quite suprised how good they are, and theyr bogof at the mo too -
thanks for the warning

well my sport had it except it wasnt the piston rings it was the whole bottom end, the pistons and cylinders had gone oval. because its a nickle plated engine it couldnt be re-boared so i had to have a whole new bottom end. the main symptoms are black spotting up the rear of the car and excessive oil consumption, mine was to the extent that i had to fill up with oil every time i filled up with petrol! as long as there isnt any sign of black spots up the back after its been taken for a good hard drive it should be ok.

glad it all went ok! ive got a leak in mine but not sure if its the screen or the sunroof drainage
