I tried a few store and they didn't have them. Autobarn had a massive stock of globes and fuses, will be purchasing items from them now, that is of course after my current stock runs out! I bought a few extras while I was there! LOL!

Should be able to pull them off with your hands. Not hard to change at all.

Grab indicator and pull towards the rear and then pull out. Should just click out. Change glbe and push back in.

Very happy, thanks mate.

It's spot on for me. Handles much better and doesn't wallow like a boat. Also looks much better sitting a bit lower.

Have you ever seen the front coils on an AU F/Ghia? Honestly, they are about 300mm longer than the XR's I got from you.

I was sceptical when the shockie guy told me it would handle *and* ride better with better quality shockies, but he was right, it does.

As a by the by, at the time you sold me the coils I didn't realise how good a deal it was.

Thanks again.
