On that basis, I will leave well alone.
It is well to a degree; no misfire on start up but a random non-smoothness when idling.
I was thinking of replacing the coil packs but it is driving satsifactorily. So will leave well alone.

Changed the spark plugs and found that the screws holding in the coil packs were not working. A PO had stripped the thread in the head.
My question is, should I leave things alone or put in an appropriate helicoil insert in the head. Would there be enough meat in the head to take a helicoil?
Suitable precautions will be taken when drilling and tapping; tape over the spark plug holes, vacuum cleaner during the work.

Resistors fitted.
Superglued them to the back of the cluster covers, near the cover vents.
Thanks for the advice.
The Philips LEDs are much brighter, especially side view.

As usual, excellent info. Much appreciated.
For £6, I have the resistors on order from the Bay. Surprised to see what large heat sinks are used on them.
Will fit and report.

My 05 TF passed the first MOT in my ownership but not after some failures:
- emissions (the engine was cold)
- both rear indicators too white
- handbrake travel
The garage who I give it to discussed with the tester and it passed. But that made me get a couple of (Philips) orange LED indicators and put them in.
The bad news is that it upset the circuit and they flash at double rate. Back to incandescents for the moment.
Has anyone changed to LEDs and what brand/type did you use?

And there is the value of the forum. Much appreciated Nota.
I have a couple of door stops in stock. This Saturday looks to be dry.

Driver side door rattle has developed after a long run to the New Forest at the weekend.
after taking the door trim off, what should I be looking for first.
The rattle seems to be near the rear of the door, close to the lock and is metallic.
Is there a rod from the open lever to the lock area? Prone to losing a bush/washer or something like that?
Any previous experience would save me hunting in the wrong place. Ta.

Nice fresh layout. Must have been a devil to do what seems like an upgrade.
But can you help this aged codger? What button do I press if I am in Recent Topics and want to just view the latest unread posts in a topic? Can anyone snip and paste what it should look like.
Ta.
