I'll try clearing codes with new ring in next then.

I've got a saloon,.

I was thinking maybe something to do with the light sensor, as all the lights work when just setting the switch to sidelight or main beam.

ive cleared the error codes before i got a new LED ring, the fault just came back straight away. i havent tried plugging the new LED ring in and clearing the codes afterwards yet though. All i have done is plug the new LED ring in and start the car. The fault was still present. I hadnt thought of pl...

no , no code changes, other than when i upgraded the cangateway, but that was about 10 months before the problem started. no LED bulbs, Ive not changed any bulbs at all. the problem started with just the left side light being defective, that was like that for about 2 months before the right side lig...

Anyone know if i have to clear fault codes after fitting a new LED ring for the rear side light? I plugged the new one in and have the same problem. Didnt think about clearing codes and trying again until now. These are the fault codes im getting. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/lowcorsa/th_I...

How much you want for it mate?

Just cover the postage from Ireland.

Nice one mate, thanks, let me know when you replace it.

Unless you find damaged / cracked light on ebay.

I thought that might be the case, thanks

Anyone know where I can get a replacement for the rear led ring? mine is throwing a defective message on the dash and I dont want to have to buy a whole new light unit if I can help it. Thanks **update** Both side lights are defective now (LED rings - left and right). Thing is, i leave my lights on ...

i started getting a warning about my rear left side light being defective (led ring), sometimes the warning doesnt come on and the light works.
currently looking for somewhere to buy a new led ring, rather than the whole light unit.

Thanks for the advice, Ill grab some of that sealant. rather do it properly first time.

Im going to change the glow plugs on my car soon, as I have an intermittent fault popping up, for cylinder 2 glow plug. it all looks pretty straight forward to change them. My question is, in the haynes manual, it says when replacing the cam cover back on to apply a bit of sealant in a couple of spo...

I've found them at camskill

Well i think ill be putting any mods on hold for a while. Car went into the garage just after christmas with gearbox problems. I think the DMF has failed and caused damage to the gearbox somewhere. New cluth and flywheel with a reconditioned/repaired box - £2100 fitted. :sad: Great way to start 201...

finally got around to fitting the rcd510 and the q gateway.

yeah, 5x114 to 5x112 will be fine.

5x114.3 pcd should fit with 'wobbly' bolts or PCD correctrion bolts. I used to use them on the Vectra. had Brabus style wheels, 5x112 on the car 5x110. used them for 3 years with no problems at all.
no need for adapters then.

I think it must just be the slowish traffic i drive in in the morning which is causing the slow warm up. Been out today and temperature went up fairly quick and hit optimum in about 10 - 15 minutes.

Thanks for the help mate

When I say fairly quick, I just meant at normal road speeds, Haha, just not crawling. I don't "race" on the roads, like you say, it's just too dangerous, not worth the risk. I think I'll give the tyres a go. Not really heard any bad things about them. I used to use fallen fk452's, loved th...

They alright cornering fairly quick, ok in the wet and dry?

I won't be running them through winter, so not to bothered about how they are in snow etc.

Yeah, from the reviews I've read they have come out with pretty good results, especially for the price.

I've had ditch finders before (fullrun) , on my Vectra, needless to say after having the back end step out a couple of times doing slow speeds, I changed them for something a bit better Haha.

Does anyone use Achilles ATR Sport tyres?
What are your thoughts of them.

I'll be using 225/35/19 and 235/35/19 specifically, but reviews on any size will be helpful.

Carl

Thanks for that mate. Big help.
Does seem a bit expensive, Haha, if I can't find a cheaper one I think I'll leave it.


I do tend to be driving in traffic in the mornings. I'll keep my eye on the temperature when doing a more brisk drive first thing.

Mine seems to be taking that long before the needle even starts to move.
