I hear that the lights in these bad boys are H7s, I'm going to order another set of those phillips xtremepower +80% globes, I've got them in two cars now, Mum's Festiva, my Fiesta and now going to get them in my Focus, does the whole light assembly have to come out of the car like in the Fiesta? That was a bit of a bastard, I wasn't too keen on taking out the assembly because once you take something off, it never seems to seal like it used to from factory, but thats how its designed.

They made a massive increase in light intensity and throw on my Mum's Festiva and they're just halogens like any other globe, interested to take the Fiesta for a spin with them as they have pretty damn good lights from factory.

Are the oil filters cartridge type filters? Or screw on ones like petrol engines?
Damo, the Oil Filter in the TDCI is a small paper cartridge type.....looks crappy, but obviously does the job. Glad you are enjoying the diesel. Mine is now almost 3 years old with 35,000 kms, and I still enjoy driving it every day ! As for performance, I fitted a DP ( Diesel Power) chip, available from Berrima Diesel in NSW.( and a K&N Air Filter) Goes bloody hard mate !!!
