hackett Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This happened to a mate of mine a the other day. I let her have my old stalks that i had in the shed and she said her dad had them fitted and working in 15 mins Hi mate, I have been having the same problem with the full beams, pleased to hear it such a quick fix. I'll get down the scrappy later. Sorry for the thread hi jack but you dont happen to have a air filter box for a 1.8Lx in that shed do you? Need one and struggling to find one. Am waiting for one to come into the local scrappies but thought id ask on the off chance!! Cheers mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaShiner Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've litterally just come back from the scrappy and fixed it about half hour ago!! they tried to charge me £15 for the one I took off but I only had a tenner on me so he took £10 for it lol. They said if I bought one off the shelf they would charge me £25 for it! The job itself was really easy to do, just needed to take out 4 of those star drive bolts and one phillips head screws undid two connectors and fitting was obviously just as easy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
