I went ahead with LED bulbs in my GT - but it is important what year the car was registered in, it needs to be before 01/04/86. My 02/85 was just on the legal side for retrofitting LED headlights here which is nice!

The bulbs I installed apparently take 1.2A compared to their generic stated halogen 5A, so that should help out the old wiring. They have affected the radio reception though, apparently I need to check some earths.

DKK is officially out of hibernation and ready for summer - hopefully. A quick trip to the (long way round) tip shows he's in good health

Borrowed a Vax Spot Cleaner and gave the seats a good going over. Made quite a difference, years of dirt sucked away. The seats are almost the same colour as the door card now, they'll need another session but didn't want to get the seats too wet.

Yeah, the grey tweed does absorb the grot and grime! Mine are desperate for another steam clean, especially the drivers seat.

I can recommend the Vax device, the muck being sucked out is quite dramatic
