Too low for me! Does it ground on speed bumps?
Depends. Those horrid little yellow and black ones I have to go over sideways, but normal bumps I just slow down and it's fine.

My headlights are looking a bit sad so after following the JDM Civic thread, I thought I'd give this a go.

Tried to restore headlights but think they will need too much work so new set coming on Dec 25th.

Went to the PHSS at Goodwood which is just up the road for me, car was in some fine company smile

My reversing lights stopped working! So a bit of searching on the Internet and due to rear wiper not activating (when wipers on) when reverse selected, the reverse switch seemed like the obvious fault. So £6.20 on eBay for new switch and a very quick look under the bonnet located the switch on the gearbox just under the radiator! 5minutes under car and fixed. Very happy with myself smile

I had my side lights on most of the way home, it started to get a bit darker so I turned my headlights on and nothing! I wasn't sure what was wrong but thought it was going to be expensive plus I leave the house at 0530hrs and it dark so,a pain in the arse. It turns out that both my headlight bulbs had blown at the same time!! Never had that before.

Thanks for reply smile had it nearly 10 years. It might have to go as I'm doing more miles now and fancy something newer, Polo R Line maybe.

Car going up for sale soon as just bought a Citroen DS3.



64 plate 2015 with just over 17k. It has cruise control, auto air con, start stop, auto headlights and wipers. Looking forward to all the toys and a saving on fuel and £20 road tax smile

Pic at the dealers, pick it up Friday.
