I did find it easier for the A/C controls to remove the radio housing.

You need T4 neo wedge LED's for them both. You should use T4 tall neo wedge for the A/C, but i found the ones i used in the headlight / dimmer controls were fine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10pcs-T4-N.../191528702617?
That's spot on 👍

Cheers

Yes, what the farmers do round here is smash the entire hedge to bits and leave branches and small trees littered around the roads and as much hawthorn and blackthorn fragments as possible. A couple of years ago they took out the power transformer for the entire area. They aren't fussy really.

To be fair its mostly contractors these days although not always.

Added pressed plates as fed up of the rubbish plastic ones which the PO radomly screwed into the bumper! For some reason now gives the S40 a late 80's look, or more like reminds ne of my older cars back in the 80's.

Replaced a tail lamp, and fashioned some mud flaps out of some plastic whist I wait for a genuine set.

Next to tackle, near side passenger door laquer peel.

I took my new T4 to the jet wash, the wind had blown all sorts of crap over it. Been a long time since I've owned a white car & with my OCD this could be a problem.
Whilst cleaning it I found the front tyre to be nearly flat, so I decided it would be a good time to buy some new wheels! Pick them up Friday
