Fitted mine today. There's talk of hacksawing etc on here, don't know why, unless that only applies to ealier LS's. 12mm spanner to remove the old ball studs (with old strut attached), 13mm to refit the new ones (I used a deep socket, fitted ball studs first then attached new struts and locking pins).

I didn't want the strutsdirect label on, warm it with a hardrier and it peels right off.

Very Nice :)

If that's Paul G's old car, you know it will have been fastidiously looked after.

I'd like some too. My 17" DHP are c.54mm dia though.

I can post detail for all the diy'ers if you are interested, just let me know.

Yes please. Ideally I'd like to patch in a 3.5mm aux socket (this is done commonly on Alfa 166's), but would be interested to hear how you installed this.

Another pair ordered, another vote of thanks.

Still £39.18 delivered/pair, including VAT.

Many thanks, I'll be sure to give them a go. Might pop it in there whilst the missus is shopping in Brighton, as I sure will NOT park it in Churchill Sq (or any other) multistorey!

It's wearing the previous owners' reg R60 EST at the mo. I will probably get it changed back to a (hopefully the original) W- plate.

I'll be taking it up to the family in Scotland sometime. Last time's (overnight, fully loaded) journey of 550 miles on one tank; computer said avg 34.9mpg iirc. which I was blown away by.

Yep, noticed a few of you in Sussex. There's a recommended garage in Hove isn't there?

Many thanks. I think I can see where the sensor is from above, I'll have a wiggle and pull it out.

I've noticed some minor spec improvements between 98 and 2000, previously I thought they were identical, might be of use to others?

'blank' option on the message centre display - my favourite improvement!

both mirrors dip on reverse when switch over to Left.

Also, I'm sure this one isn't quite as silent from the cabin. It has the undertray present, where the old one didn't. That would figure I guess.

Hello fellow Lexians,

Bought my first LS a while ago, '98 Mk4, and caught the bug (as you do). Bodywork wasn't brilliant so I recently acquired a 2000 DHP which is in much finer fettle, despite 170-odd K.

I'm on the Sussex coast. First car came from Wales and is now in Suffolk. Newer car came from Cheshire.

Anyways, the little problem. Exterior Temp is always showing 50c. It's also affecting the climate control I'm sure, I have to have it at least 28c to get any heat out. Any clues on how to fix this? Knowing where the ext temp sensor is would help!

Many thanks for any assistance.
