I quite like Stedi’s 5500k light and these are no different. Light output is improved compared to the old ones however the old ones were old and tired with lower output. They’ll do.Quote:

Perhaps the messiest job going dealing with that primordial goop.
Swapped out coolant block also while there. Perhaps not the best sequence as oil cooler change to follow but not sure when. Will be a lot cleaner on next dismantle. I’ll replace the intake orings at that time.

By the looks of that goop it makes me mighty glad that somewhere during my cars life it had an EGR blanking plate miraculously fall onto the engine. Holy crap!
So would a catch can prevent this ?

Glad I had EGRs blanked! Something else I dont have to worry about anymore.
Went to find a spot for my recently acquired icom IC450 CB module, only to find no way will it fit as intended under the steering wheel like in the RRC.
Where do people fit them?
I suspect it will have to go under one of the seats - and if so, just as well I don't plan any deep water crossings.
Under the passenger seat is where mine lives. If you do a deep water crossing and get water under the seats then you have many more ECU’s and other things to be worrying about. Your UHF will be the least of your worries.Quote:
