Tee hee, I guessed that was what you meant. It just looked funny.

I think I manage about 30k a year collectively in both cars

I meant to ask Greenie what did you do about venting the fuel tank after blanking everything off on the engine bay? Assuming you removed carbon canister as well? :o

Lovely bug! :ok:

I like the blobeye rear lights on a bug, it's on my to-do list
I'm pleased it isn't a bumper swap.

So another year on and need to MOT it at some point. Think I've only done about 1000 miles since the last one. My turbo is knackered sadly, oil seals have definitely gone. Loads of oil in the intercooler pipe coming off the turbo and a little smoke on boost.
Took it out on the weekend and also has a crack in the exhaust housing. Time to look for a new turbo.

Had a crack in one of my morette headlights. I couldn't find a replacement lens online however a search of the US forums showed people using a fog light lens from a mazda tribute.
Picked up a new one off ebay cheap. Heated both up in the oven, cut through and removed all the glue and swapped them over then sealed with some silicone.
Reinstalled and looks fine.
Just need to sort out the mess of wiring and multiple relays that have been used for the headlights now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9874767217.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...07955b27c1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...652bd33d0e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d413dc9d7e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9eba8865e3.jpg

Great fix there mate :ok:

Great job, I've got morettes too and I dread the day I get a cracked lens, just can't get hold of the genuine valeo lenses these days. Great to know there's a decent workaround :ok:
