Further updates on my daughter's 90

My daughter's 90 was down for some work. I took the opportunity of getting DRL lights fitted aswell as a master light switch as hers had burnt out. Got rid of the dash clock as she uses her phone. I had an ammeter fitted instead of the clock as it is more useful. Fuel gauge was erratic so the fuel sender was changed as the original was well worn.
She does over 300 miles a week so it is getting used. There are a few new dents in it since I last saw it plus lots of bush scrapes. She tows a horse box. It is well looked after but used..no fluffy dice or air fresheners in it. She has a tool kit and spanners, top up oil, coolant etc instead.
She leaves her house at 7.00am and sees to her pony then it is college or some days lectures online. Then it is back to the pony in the evenings. That is why she got the 90 as her first car. Nothing else would suit. This Saturday she is away with the 90 with a friend of hers. They are bringing the pony and a horse to an event in the horse box. Yep well used is the word.
I put a plastic mesh over the DRL's to stop them getting broken. Photos below plus one of her practicing high range to low range changes.

Nice story, good pics. Your daughter is lucky to have such a vehicle.
DRL good investment, you probably should have invested in a new light relay kit which bypasses the switch and prevents the burn out.
Replacing the clock with another gauge is a good idea, I might do it myself.

Yes, the idea for the DRL's was so that my daughter could use them while driving during the day and only use her lights when necessary at night.
Funnily enough I fitted DRL lights to two Pumas without any problems but I could not get them to work on the 300 tdi or my own 200 tdi. A relay had to be fitted on the 300 tdi (not by me!) to get them to work.
My daughter loves the 300 tdi.
