what is the OBC II mpg since you reset it when you replaced the clutch switch?
what was it before the reset?
the other half was driving it.. :roll: my average was 17.8mpg, i will leave it a few months before comparing it. that will give it around 500 miles,and i will let you know..as expected though the car feels different to drive less aggressive, and as the missus puts it less jerky and smoother on the gear change.. on a side note what have you done to s... :wink:

Sorry to all on the list, I have been up to my neck at work this week, will get an E-mail to BM-Town sorted tonight for Monday and then PM you all with prices.

Scaghead, not sure there will be a style 3 saloon but I will ask again if we now have two potential buyers. Can you PM me your name so I can add it to the list to go to BM Town? Ta. :thumbs:

got mine through the post today - took 3 weeks, which i think is a bit long.....

put them on and i think they look good, nice and bright even during the day, pics dont show them too well. Was a bit curious about the silver strip which goes onto the boot lid, but im sure i'll get used to it. Need to get some silver visions.

a couple of pics.

sorry guys - theyre style 2.

indicator, fog and reverse are bulbs - i tried replacing the indicator with orange led bulbs, but got bulb warning. Didnt have time to faff about as i came away back to work today. So the car will just have to stay like that for the next 4 weeks......

Now I am confused as they look like style 3. style 2 is the cluster group LED like on the saloon and style 3 is the rectagular strip effect. Have you got any night time shots stoddie to show them illuminated better?

P_G theyre definately style 2 red/clear. Im offshore for the next 4 weeks so the car is stuck in the garage - so im affraid im unable to take any more pics.

im gonna try and get hold of an led orange bulb and see what i can do regarding the indicators, might need a resistor bridged in there somewhere too though.

An update for everyone concenred, List has been sent to BM-Town who in turn have asked the factories who produce the lamps what discount we can expect. They are also working on getting more pics up of both style 2 and 3 illuminated from previous purchasers.

Query has gone in for Style 3 saloon lamps. Style 1 which is 'coming soon' I would suggest won't be here for a while but I'm hoping to negoatiate a continuouse G deal for RS246 members if people are preaperd to wait.
