I have tried a load of different bulbs over the years and never really found any that made a great difference. They all seemed to be much of a muchness.
 
I fitted this HID conversion kit last week and the improvement is truly amazing. The road is so much brighter for a lot further and I haven't had one oncoming driver flash me yet!!

Hi Baz,
I will have to save up the pennies for this one -  
 
Looked out for you in Warrington last Saturday, as Iam now back on the road after my knee operation - it is harder getting in the car as I have only a 75 deg bend in the knee, so I have to sit nearly on the pasenger`s side to get my botty on the seat, Its a scream to watch.

My car was being refurbed last saturday!!  I was fitting new boot carpet to make up to the LPG tank and then that escalated to a new console arrangement for the DVD and CD Changer in the boot which then moved on to the wireless headphones and high level LED brakelight!!
 
The list goes on!
 
There does seem to be a lot of Scorpios in and around Warrington nowadays. It is like when I got my Rover 75 in April 2000; there were virtually none anywhere. We went to the South of France in July 2000 and I think we passed no more than 6 all the way there and back. There are nearly that many in my Close now!!

Bob,
 
the only problem with FDS is that it needs the base station to load the required actions into the mobile unit. I.e. If I loaded it to say interrogate everyones ABS system, it could only do that until you load more software for it to do something else. I was going to take it loaded with the software to let the boot open with the engine running. and also to test the customer convenience packages, seats etc.
