Just had a few new jobs to tackle...
Ever since I brought the car I had realised a bit of water sitting around in the offside indicator lens. So me being me, I thought when I brought the car; I'll sort it ASAP, its an easy job.. But 3 months down the line and I've only just got to it. When I started looking properly at it, I realised it had a small crack in the lens, this was obviously where the water was getting in.. So I took the indicator out, released the lens and set about taking it apart to dry and possibly fix the damage. I dried out all the sections of it and (as a quick fix till I buy a new one or visit a scrapy) I put a tiny piece of clear double sided tape over the crack on the inside. At least it'll stop water getting in for the moment.
The second job was an idea I'd had recently that I'd seen on a few of my friends cars.. A Xenon or clear white number plate bulb. So I wielded my trusty Haynes manual and got to it.. In pretty much the dark (classic Rhys common sense). Obviously it was an easy job but I'm still not impressed.. The bulb is obviously not blue enough because it doesn't seem to be a difference. See for yourself in the pictures to follow...
I'd appreciate your opinions..
