One word Brilliant!!

However there are two things niggling me.

1. I have found that the black pillars by the front windscreen to be very thinly scratched i think cause i used a brush to clean it with. :-(
Anyone know how to get these small brush marks off a black roof and pillars?

2. Driving back from Lockerbie at night i could notice that the headlights seem to flicker very slightly only by concentrating on them. Does anyone know of this and is it ok?

Many Thanks for any help,
Stuart

You will notice that the lights dim when turning the steering wheel, as the power steering seems to draw current and the effect is noticable.

Hope that's the effect that you're encountering.
