Hi. I went for osram nightbreaker plus H1and H7 plus diadem bulbs for indicators. Happy so far. My brake pedal goes quite a long way. Feels like it lacks bite but the brakes are fine just needed time for me to get used to them.

Cheers, Neil.

No offence meant. Just a general comment on the lack of interest some threads get.

Try following Beckford's thread. It's a candidate for dullest thread of the year, mind you, mine are probably close behind. I can't help but agree that they aren't worth anything until you get an offer for them.

Beware. You need washers and auto levelling to be legal. Illegal means no insurance, even if it's not your fault you could lose your car just because your insurer finds an excuse not to pay out.

Hi,

I gave it 500 miles without exceeding 3000RPM. Then started to exercise it a bit. Will use it fully once I get over a 1000 miles. You probably don't need to run in these days but it's nice to when you've just got a new one.

So, the story goes on... Picked up a 250Gb (USB2.0 only) external drive (CORE by CnM) in Tesco's. It requires two USB ports one for power & data, one for power only, however, it works with a single port just fine and surprisingly the Fiesta is happy with it so that's 13,000 MP3 tracks ready to go......

So, I bagged a play.com 8Gb off flash drive off a mate and that works perfectly, if you switch from the Compact Flash card I was using to the new play.com one mid track it even remembers where it was up to (cool). So the Sony one is either greedy on power or knackered. I'll try to get something to t...

Seagate 7200 RPM job. 320Gb. I'm more frustrated with the 8Gb Sony USB pen drive. Maybe it's knacked !!

Thanks for the reply. I've carried out some further investigation. I used an 8Gb Compact Flash card from my camera, put 550 MP3 -320Kb files on it and attached it via a Sandisk USB adapter. To my surprise it all worked file, files, playlists, the works so I know the issue isn't capacity, file size o...

OK. I've got the car and love it. The USB however is winding me up. I'M using 320KB MP3 files. On a 2Gb stick fine. Same tracks on an 8GB drive gives endless errors. Then the 320 GB hard drive (maybe a tad greedy there) just refuses to play. I've stuck to the rules in the manual but it's still knack...
