Cookey09 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 So, I've got my first service soon, after owning the car for a year and not yet reached 10,000 miles... Do I need to remove and replace my upgraded halogen DRL's that have a blue coating and rated at "5800k"? And replace them back to stock? And I'm also going to ask for my headlights to be adjusted as mine seem to be pointing about 5 yards in front of the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The dealership aren't interested in any modifications you've done mate so just leave it as it is. 1st service will only be oil and oil filter, pollen filter (inside the car) and a general check over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all for ~£150, scandalous. £30 oil (max), filter £2 (max). All for £50 at any local garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the headlight level setting - its usually a little dial near to the steering wheel, it should be set to '0' if its just you in the car, you might find that a previous owner has had a higher load and has adjusted it higher - this means that the headlights point down more to compensate for the extra weight in the boot.

Cookey09 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Cheers for that mate, im aware of that thanks, a couple of others on here have had their lights adjusted because of the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookey09 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 So, I had my first service, as soon as I got my car back, I noticed a clicking coming from the passengers side whenever my wipers "wiped"... (Also had new wipers fitted by them) Any ideas to what this is? I reckon it's coming from the fuse box behind the glovebox... But the fuse seems to "in" properly...

Willy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That'll be the relay mate, quite normal to here it at the same time as the wipers. The rear does it too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't click before...I know it's not a problem, hahaha just my curiosity 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It will always have clicked for some reason you've now heard it and focus on it more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookey09 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Maybe so, seems more prominent though. But, yeah I get what your saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensambrook Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Did they adjust your headlights mate? I installed some apparently brighter H7 bulbs but they're poo and I can't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed some apparently brighter H7 bulbs but they're !Removed! and I can't see !Removed!. No mate, completely forgot to ask! It was a case of drop it off and sort out later, had a busy day! What bulbs did you put in? I'm wanting them adjusting still. Might have a good at it myself to be honest matey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 If your going to adjust headlights, I would turn the adjuster no more than half a turn of allen key, half a turn does make headlight go up quite a bit , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookey09 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Ah right cheers mate! I'll have a look later tonight I think. Would it be clockwise/anti?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Clockwise, 7mm Allen key or the like or even a large flat blade screw driver fits, confirmed half a turn does bring it up sufficiently in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
