That was the cheapest one on there, some were as much as £14 :ermm: . Should I go for it :) ?

Make sure you get the right relay for your hazards. They have different ratings for different cars. E.G a car with side repeaters will need a different relay as theres more load on it and will change the flash rate.

The alarm looks ok, but when I've fitted it, if its not what I want, it should be easy to upgrade :) .

Right, my room was turning into a bit of a mini parts garage :) , so I asked my mum if she could repair my bucket seats, so I could get them into my mini. She did a great job, had a bit of trouble getting the subframes on :teehee: , but got there in the end, and here they are:

They seem to be sitting a bit funny to me, but that just may be how they sit :teehee: , it it isn't I might be able to get them to sit a bit more differently. However, I don't think back seat passengers can be allowed anymore :teehee: , I'll have to wait and see.
