VW/Audi in Bradford On Avon have replaced the manifold / exhaust mesh gasket and clips. It was that on acceleration, gear change and backing off causes a squeak/ chirp. Will keep an ear out but hopefully the noise has stopped.

How did you clean the headlights?

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

There are a couple of metal tabs at the back of the headlight, prise these open. Ideally remove the headlight to do (I didnt). Then find a soft cloth to put on a stick or screwdriver. Then I just used window cleaner

Brilliant Kit very sturdy several mounting points on it.. also good shoulder height on the seatbelt.. Was nervous of cutting the metal by the parcel shelf at first but there is a template with the instructions.

So you split the glass 'lense' from the silver 'bowl'? or just removed the bulbs?

Not the neatest job but should save the rust. Removed the push switches from the old alarm filled and painted.

After searching for boot carpet other than paying £40 decided to do a diy job. £12 for car carpet delivered enough for 4x layers meaning underlay/sound proofing not required.
