I've been waiting for an interior light for a bit but got it painted and out back together.
I did order a white extra fine paint pen to draw the symbols back on, but it just kept smudging, unfortunately. Then I thought I'd just do the white dots, and that leaked, so I might be upgrading to the passat light soon as I think they are engraved.

When i looked at it i seen too many plastic bits to snap and the light itself would have needed masked to show throw the wee settings

The paint I used was the pro xl smoke grey, about 10 pounds cheaper than the upol stuff!RyanCummins wrote:Looks great. What paint brand etc did you use?

Drop links changed for some jom adjustable ones from euro car parts as the ones I put on were rubbing like f##k, all sorted now.
Got some snow foam for Christmas, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Boring mechanical post.
Tandem pump taken off and rebuilt,
Fuel temperature sensor replaced,
Cam sensor replaced,
N75 valve replaced.
All vac hoses replaced with silcone and breather filter put on.
Next week, it's going in for
Injector seals,
Injector harness
Rocker cover gasket.
Will get back on the good stuff when I've got the engine running right. It's still really struggling on the first start in the mornings.

Van dropped off to have injector seals and harness done.
Maf was changed for a bosch one as I wasn't too happy when I realised it was a 40 quid cheapy.
Engine stuff nearly out the way, and I've pretty much replaced every sensor and serviced it so it's running perfect before remapping.
