I had the same dilemma whereby like the look of LED sidelights but knew they can be temperamental and when access is poor, needed something longlife. Bought the below and they've been fitted over 3yrs with no issue. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-127996000KX2-X-tremeVision-6000K-CeraLight/dp/B00OYT1322/ref=sr_1_5?crid=35S39U21ANE6O&keywords=philips+501+led+bulbs&qid=1573896381&sprefix=501+led+bulb+phili%2Caps%2C368&sr=8-5

Since moving in and the road had nice down LED's, with replacing the defective one the new installment looks a different style to the old one. In an hour or so time il see what's what. This is the 'highlight' of my day lol Edit - it's grand, council tax doing its job. Lights the road, foot path and part of the drive.

Yeah exactly, folks at work say why bother if you know it's going to get mucky the day after? I say do you not clean your house before a party, even though you know it'll need doing soon after - works every time. As the nights draw in, any evening wash I do will be in the dark and just today Amey have been out to install a bright LED unit to replace the defective one outside the property - result.

Cheers, you clearly know more than most about detailing however I would say since my first car meet various members have commented on how great my cars paintwork looks. I've been passionate about car care like most for many years and looking online, I've not seen any evidence to suggest my practices are lacking. Bought these a week too late, as could have done with them for my annual wheel and spacer swap. Need an excuse to whip a wheel off now as it's service isn't till march either. In typical fashion, hours spent cleaning and it rains that very night huff

Cheers for the reply, no evidence provided to confirm FL leaves anything that a stream of cold water couldn't remove. Very well might be an idea to start an new thread if you can't provide the back up.

I'm totally at a lost what element of fairy liquid will be able to sit comfortably on top of a wax and remains after washing. Polish and waxes contains oils, weather I have food on my hands are grease, oil or been gardening or any kind of general grime I reach for the FL and not IPA. "wash of wax with plain water?" not sure what to do with that tbh. Ultimately if you are speaking from experience that's all well and fair for actually using FL or can present evidence, I'm speaking from experience and I've not known a different when washing up and finally rinsing with cold or hot water. Using a warm bucket of suds with a good ratio of FL goes a long way to removing any old polish and wax, the paintwork doesn't bead at all however does sheet water slowly. I could be completely wrong and now I have a layer of polish, wax, fairy liquid, polish and now wax again. I know one thing, I'm set for the winter in that case.

It's also breaks down grease and grime from old food and drink, it won't be leaving much on our washed and rinsed plates if anything as plates are designed to be eaten off. How do surfactants clean... by breaking down what they come into contact with allowing media to the rinsed away. Thanks for playing? Please troll another build thread if immaturity is your sketch.

Some seriously tasty stuff there for sure, hopefully you got to hear plenty too.

and yet...

Literally done this for years and never ran into any issues, plus my hands felt so soft.

Joys of being old ay

All cleaned and protected for winter. Single stage machine polish and wax, rubbers and glass sealant applied. Could really tell the difference after the wash as the paintwork was bare and perfect for prep. Bilt Hamber Autofoam 10.1 pre wash Rinse APC 10.1 badges, door handles and window seals then rinse. Two bucket wash *in a fashion Fairy liquid as car shampoo to breakdown all previous polishes and waxes. MF drying towel Single stage machine polish, Auto Finesse Triple with Menzera finishing pad. Autoglym Ultra HD wax Autobrite Project32 as last touch Gtechniq C4 for window rubbers, grille, front splitter & door mirrors base. Gtechniq glass sealant Autoglym Rubber Plus for tyre dressing

Great interview Neil, very interesting - enjoyed that.

Just awful, Godless folks

Doubt il be needing to undo anything near 400nm of torque tbf. Just now tried it on a couple of wheel nuts recently torque up to 105nm and they were no bother.

Year of the Supra!! Mega pictures Adrian.

Pretty sure the entire Z community echo's this, as for the money there's tones of other quicker cars you can buy, but we choose the characterful Z

Showing the love and spring with soon be here.

Could have done with this for my bi annual wheel and spacer swap over but I have it now and can't wait to blitz some bits.

Horrendous mate, so pleased you ok. How did this happen?

The interior is a massive step forward, exterior looks of course follow the brand's new look. Lots of lovely soft touch plastics, leather and alcantra and 225/45 R19 tyres on a 1ltr 3cylinder Juke wow. Nissan bought one into work today for the techs to have a nose round. Feel and quality reminds my very much of a Q30 executive model, felt very solid. The sensation from Bose speakers in the headrest is very cool and I'd imagine handy for Bluetooth calls. To see a fuel rail and coil packs on the same engine was very odd also.

Sounds like the classic case of RWYB Going to be a very special Christmas for sure.

Very special indeed Sounds insane mated to stock y pipe and cats......

I'd very much like to see that dash cam footage if available, love the Welsh A/B roads.

Also quicker around the ol TG test track than a e46 M3......
