audi or mg?mmmmm I know which I would choose. my grand Cherokee is a cracking beast but much prefer mg with top down and does a bit better than 12mpg.Foxy wrote:I wanted to go to York in mine yesterday with the roof down as we stayed over for the night but the missus demanded we went in the Audi. When I got to the Holiday Inn, there was a silver TF parked at the entrance so I felt more upset. I was going to wash and polish mine today but feel too hungover to do anything.

mirror bulbs are standard 501 wedge bulbs same as side lights and the bottom lights are 39mm tungsten. no problems with dimming they just go straight off.

Nope, gave up pretty quickly as the screw became more circular!arsvs wrote: did you happen to get round the rusted screws pal?
im thinking of trying soldering iron on the screw before I round my heads off, bit of heat sometimes helps, if worst il endup melting them out.Phil_B wrote:Nope, gave up pretty quickly as the screw became more circular!arsvs wrote: did you happen to get round the rusted screws pal?
I had the same issue on Project Shed, getting it ready for it's first MoT. The screws were rotten and there was nothing for the screw driver to bite into.arsvs wrote:Phil_B wrote:Lol, I did that a few weeks ago too, same problem with the plate bulbs.arsvs wrote:changed the interior lights to led ones, no longer is the interior yellow at night its a nice bright white.

thanks for the offer of the bulbs, thought the other day I at some previous point ordered some off eBay for the caravan but were too wide for the covered, found them last night and put them in footwell lights, much better. Replaced the ones in mirror with some zenon gassed 501s to still have a good courtesy light. Might have another go at number plate lights at weekend.arsvs wrote:mirror bulbs are standard 501 wedge bulbs same as side lights and the bottom lights are 39mm tungsten. no problems with dimming they just go straight off.
