I decided to get myself some LED side indicators to match my rear LED Hella's and LED sidelights. Wired them in today. Much better in my opinion. Twice as bright and with no spot in the middle when you look face on. Ordered some LED's for my interior and boot light too.

I was thinking pf getting these, but I preferred the look of the OEM ones. Then after purchasing a new OEM one at Inters I saw even better single LED ones!

Had a nightmare at the weekend. My rear washjet was not working. Checked it wasn't blocked. Checked hose in tailgate. Nothing. Filled up the tank. Tried running again. Still nothing. Tried the front and then they stopped, then all I could hear was the pump running dry!

My rear washer hose had some how disconnected on the connection above the rear wheel arch at the top of the rear seats, and had just finished pumping 2 litres of water inside the car.

Removed all the trim trying to find it. Wasn't to bad as could have been much worse if it and pin holed or split.

One rear seat got wet which I removed to let it dry out, luckily no water stains and removed the foam from under the carpet which soaked most of it up.

Luckily it was clean water with only a tad of washer liquid in. All seems to be dry and stain free but leaving it all out for a couple of days to air and the car to completely dry out. It only got onto one rear seat base, carpet behind passenger seat and the foam underneath it.

Lucky escape (in a way!). Any one else had this? Think i'll tape the connection up once it put it all back together.

My rear washer jet leaked onto the boot latch ruining the microswitch in the boot.

Luckly didn't to anything to the inside of the car. I just make sure I don't use the rear jet now.

Yeah i've heard quite a lot on that problem but didn't even know there was a connection at the top of the rear seats.

They're a massive un-necessary headache. Which is why I removed mine so early on!

I can't stress enough how little they are needed! They really are never missed once off, as I'm sure you'd agree James
