Illuminating Sill Plate

legal / illegal ? rear panel / other lighting mods.
hi all. just reading up on the laws for rear illuminations on vehicles before i go down the road of rear panel lighting DIY ( thanks sussex stu for pointing out the you tube vid ). Think to keep within the law i will have to go with red ? think green can only be shown on a doctors car? so am thinking perhaps of tiny red 12v led's with a diffuser either wired to brake lights or side lights. has anyone been pulled over by the flashing blues yet for the same idea ? or come to think of it any other wierd and wonderful lighting modifications ?

a real shame ! !
hi all. does anyone know who to contact in the club regarding items advertised on here by another member that i payed for and never received. the guy wont even contact me to explain why. has anyone else experienced this ? ? i have been a member now for a while and so far found this club to be extremely helpfull for advice and parts. it would be a real shame if people started to abuse the trust and honesty promoted by most. any advice on this would be great.

hot starting problem
hi to all. car starting instantly when cold. also fine when hot. but if left unstarted for 15 plus minutes when hot -then the problem occurs. will not start except after 5 to 10 seconds turn over. sometimes, for no apparent reason, its ok -but mostly the problem is there. car cools right down and hey presto its back to normal. have checked : plugs cleaned ptu checked all contacts that i can get to no fuel leaks that i can find / smell temp sender not the end of the world - as oil pressure has a chance of building before ignition- but would be nice to perhaps deal with once and for all. any advice would be great. regards cris

help help help
had, an auto years ago- same problem as yours. turned out to be the auto fluid cooler that was partially blocked and had starved the box. the cooler is located on side of radiator in same housing. cost me a rebuild box and larger oil cooler. ouch ! hope yours is not as serious. ( standard cooler for auto trans oil is pretty bad and well known for failing after time )
