Re: R8 binnacle illumination

No problem. You could sell the ones you use on to someone else.

If they are LED, I might be interested.

Re: Cabriolet and Coupe Boot Lids the same?

I have seen a bootlid with the spoiler off a coupe and quite fancy it as its the correct colour.

I'll have to remove the areal and fit a rubber bung though as it will interfere.

As mentioned above, check the plugs, leads, cap.

I'd also check for a vacuum leak by spraying brake cleaner around vac hoses and the intske manifold.

Agreed, it would be a valuable source.

I'm not a fan of pay walling, but if this info was added to the site, it should be a paid members perk.

Otherwise, buy branded T5 and T6.5 bulbs, such as those made by Osram.

Linky no worky pal, think it's short a number.

Re: R8 binnacle illumination

Where can I find these please? I’ve been struggling! Also does anyone know of an effective orange filter (paint or sleeve) you can buy to put over it? I had a look on eBay and found these in orange.

Archive of the old Rimmer Bros Parts Listings?

As per title.

I'm trying to cross reference some R8 parts, but Rimmers only have partial listings these days, as they don't list times that they don't sell or are unavailable.
