Sync 3.4 update done. Looks neater but haven't really noticed a huge improvement over the sync 3, although mine was fairly up to date so possibly not as big an improvement as it might be to some. The maps should be more current though and it does look a bit more modern. 35W headlight harnesses...

Ahh, understood. I'd assumed it was a new one when you said it's coming across the Atlantic, importing didn't even cross my mind! There's a fair few in the local area thinking about it, not that you see them every day but they are there. If you need parts for it and you're doing the work...

That thread is an excellent one and all points I'd agree with. My last track day was in a 2003 Mini Cooper S and that was an awesome track car, but suffered badly with heat soak on the top mount IC when parked so a couple of cooldown laps were necessary. On that day it absolutely chucked it down...

Definitely bring tools and extra fluids, both for yourself and the car. Obviously give your car a good check over before you go and make sure it isn't dropping any fluids or that anything's about to fall off, as you won't get thanked for leaving bits of your car on track, especially fluids...

How does it hold up on track regarding temperatures etc? Keep thinking about giving mine a chance to stretch its legs albeit I'd need a loud day, my only concerns are mainly brake temperatures/fade and diff temps.

Washed mine also, however my wash literally consisted of getting the car wet and wiping it with a sponge and some car shampoo. Downloaded the sync 3.4 software from cyanlabs so will be installing that on a longer drive over the weekend, along with hopefully doing the headlights

Hi mate, I'm in Warwick so very close to you and can highly recommend Modurstang. I'm guessing yours is an S650? I know they had a Dark Horse there the other day and mechanically the S650 isn't too different to the S550 so they can probably help you out :like:

Hi all, I'm wondering if someone in the US can help me. I'm UK-based and currently in the process of acquiring parts to upgrade my headlights to the 35W system you guys are packing. I have ballasts and bulbs, but I'm having to modify a set of wiring harnesses from a different car to replace the...

The issues nearly always come from the bean counters to be honest, at least my job they're very much involved with which has resulted in some rather unfortunate and very publicly embarrassing issues. I think possibly the only cars I can think of that bean counters haven't been involved with are...

I used to use the Konis with Eibach springs. The idea behind the Konis is great IMO, but in practice it doesn't work. They need more rebound in them, they're too soft to control the higher spring rates of a near 2-tonne car. I still have them however for when my Öhlins coilovers need servicing...

I have fat hands, fat wrists, I'd like to think I'm slightly mechanically minded if not amazing at electronics (although the vehicles in my day-to-day mechanical work don't really have much in the way of those for me to worry about), the precision of an ape wielding a sledgehammer and mostly...

Their parts availability appears to be crap across the range also. Lots of posts about people waiting for parts or space at the dealer to fit those parts. I've seen 3 months for a steering rack, 5 months for an engine and 4 months just for a tow hitch which was one of their accessories rather...

That's also a common claim I'd seen, albeit not really unique to the I-Pace, that they weren't hitting anywhere near the quoted mileage figures. I've seen with the Ingenium engines in the ICE cars as well that they have issues with the bottom ends failing. One on instagram had a Defender that...

That's exactly what I'm aiming for, just something with no BS, clear and to the point for UK cars. I'll include a tools list as well, I'm currently planning on removing the airbox during the process as well for more access to the passenger side ballast unit. Might take slightly longer but in my...

Jaguar/Land Rover products are a total ballache. Without going into too much detail, in my previous job I used to work very closely with JLR, and while the people I dealt with were perfectly fine to me and I actually still speak to some of them as friends, I got the feeling they were exasperated...

Never! But I guess this is what happens when you do something like this. I will definitely be making a guide for this though if it works, with part numbers, places to buy parts from and photos of the whole process because the information is available in bits and pieces across faceache/M6G/other...

Update on the 35W headlight upgrade. The cheaper set of harnesses I ordered have turned up, and while they're longer the connectors are unsuitable. No locking collars to keep the connectors secure in the ballasts and bulbs which I'm not comfortable with (imagine those falling out at night!), and...

Handbrake cable done so something has been achieved today. Hoping the longer wiring harnesses turn up tomorrow but I might have to swap the bulb end connectors from the short ones onto the longer ones. Will see what happens!

Completely forgot about American Muscle, handy to have the part number. Unfortunately they don't ship internationally which is annoying, but if the ones I've ordered fail along with lengthening the wiring I already have I might pop into Ford and ask if they can order them, or potentially Nemesis...

I did see the aliexpress ones, unfortunately I'm not sure those will fit. They have 90 degree connectors at the bulb end and from the way our bulbs are mounted I think it might put stress on the connector/cable. I might order some anyway as they're ridiculously cheap, then I can give them a go...
