barbus

the manual just says w5w, i've ordered them anyway.

cheers jay, just what i wanted, will order 'em now. (btw top motor m8).

I've had a mooch but i'm confused...W5W,T10,501,CANBUS? any suggs? i don't think mine shows an error as 1 bulb is gone but no warning.

it does seem a bit of a pain considering bulbs are so important. Nice tickle for dealers!

ok,i'll try that, any advice on a bulb upgrade? i only want to do it once.

Hi, the manual says it's awkward and to go to main dealer, can i do it myself? and how?

:D i've just been and picked her up :D drives great- all good :D mechanic said it's a crackin engine :D

thanx jay

have i got to notify DVLA that i've changed the engine?

so far so good, hope i ain't jinxed it-lol :)

some good news, the guy who's fitting the engine is a bit bogged down with work(sign of a good mechanic?) and will be fitting it tomorrow, but while i've been waiting i've been reading thru forums and decided to do the 'oil pump mod' while the engine is still out,my good luck was to find a brand spanking OEM timing belt, this made me look deeper and i believe this engine had JUST had it's major service at subaru, everything clean and tidy. Result :D

bought from a ropey p***k of a trader as "mechanically sound", a used CARS dealer in BATH.(not to be specific BEWARE! ) but turned out to be full of STP to hide the noise of the worn big ends (took so called mechanic but the stp oil had him!). Hopefully got it sorted soon-nearly scrapped it i was that p****d off . ,

just to show why i wanted her back on the road!

:D no prob!

oh well, i've prob noticed it more after driving diesel's for the last 10 years, getting up and running gotta be my main concern for now i'll keep y'all posted how things go, :)
