Replaced W5W interior light bulbs with LEDs I got from amazon.de. Will need to wait for the evening to see how much brightness they brought.

Only Normal Ride Height Available
Took my MY14 D4 HSE in to Harwoods Chichester on Monday due to the above suspension issue.
3 days later I have it back sporting a new compressor and compressor relay FOC thanks to Approved Used Warranty.
In terms of my feedback regarding the dealer...
1. Very friendly and helpful on the phone when booking the vehicle in.
2. No loan car available due to short notice but they arranged a cheap rental car for me - so OK.
3. Prompt diagnosis of the problem and a call back - good.
4. 3 days to sort this seems a long time... Meh
5. Went to collect today. Jump in to the car, start her up, select off road height... up she goes. Select normal height, down she goes. Then Ping and Ping and up pops "Suspension Warning!" Go back inside, service guy suitably dismayed. Clearly they fitted the new compressor but did not even give it a cursory test. Sat around for half an hour drinking their coffee and then was approached and told car sorted. It was a loose connection inside the compressor housing. - Not exactly confidence inspiring but will test and monitor closely.
Glad to be back in my D4 and out of the Fiesta 1.0

Tried to fit a Land Rover roof box to the expedition roof rack, it won’t fit Off with the roof rack, on with the roof bars. Roof box now fitted. I am a bit surprised that it wouldn’t fit on the expedition rack, the pitch of the cross bars was wider than the molded base of the box.Simon.

At last, I've added my forum sticker to Miss Moneypit. Oh, and discovered the prop centre bearing is cream crackered

Fixed funkily rattling tailgate by applying some silicone grease on both the body and tailgate wedges. Miraculous.

Well a side wall puncture on a Pirelli ATR, has resulted in ordering a set of Duratrac tyres.
£520 fitted so couldn't say no.

Applied some CRC to the rear window wiper joint and spring. The tension is back and it touches the rear window once again well. Seems like sand and dirt collects between the rivet which makes it stiff.
Did it last time sometime in the fall, I think. As long as this fixes the problem there’s no need to buy a new stalk.
