The T has become an F.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Good luck with it mate. Stick some pics up when you're done.

Have you used a projector or just stuck a bulb kit in? If it's not in a projector housing then it's not great for other road users, my god they will see you mind, but they won't be best pleased lol

Feck knows, I will assume its just the bulb kit as it doesn't look like a projector like my E30 HID convo is.

I converted it from a twin headlight effort. if anyone has a spring to hold the bulb in I will pay decent money for one delivered.....right now the HID bulb is floating about with no spring.

The rubber doofer holds it in well enough but I wouldn't want to do big miles with it loose.

Took mine for a good run round north wales and found a slight leak from the new rad... Hoping its the hoses want nipping up.
And the gear linkage fell off cos some tit had forgot to fit locknuts on the adjuster.

Its now got 272 on the clock lol
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Into the garage I went to trace why it didn't start at tescos .
It was the r/r again it was charging good with the lights off 14.4v but only giving out 12.2v with them on .
So I remove the r1 reg and fitted a later finned one now I'm getting a good 14.5v with the lights on or off .
That was my 3rd r/r in two years .
Two of them were from a r1 and the other was the sh1t standard one .
So going by that the r1 regs are just as bad as the standard un-finned crap .
I'm going to be on the look out for a MOSFET now just in case this one packs up !

All the failed r/r have been under charging .

Need to get a gasket first tho
