You can have the actual headlamp unit in black- obviously the reflector units are chrome but the bits that arent needed are in black. Looks propper good on a black car

Is this why it wouldn't start the other day Max?
Sep 05 2012 08:11 PM -
minimaxie
Do you know what Paul I reckon it couldve been, seems odd why it done it so must of been the immobilizer. The only thing is I dont recall seeing the light blinking on the dash indicating the immobilizer was active last time

Got in Sheldon yesterday to find my alarm is somehow working again?! Swear this car is slowly repairing itself all on its own accord!


minimaxie
Dream Mini just found :) want my Sheldon to look like this, minus the mahoosive exhaust from it, a nice RC40 centre exit and that's perfect for me http://www.delta-mini.com/car/salecar/green/green39.html#img/green39/img01.jpg

When replacing a fuel sender unit, does all the fuel in the tank need to be drained? Stupid question I know but I'm still learning lol

-
Skortchio
Only enough so that it doesn't pour out the hole when you remove the sender ;-)
Aug 28 2012 04:30 PM -
minimaxie
Haha yeah that was a dumb question then thanks mate :)
