Replaced my rear shockabsorbers. The old ones were empty, I could push them in without any force.

Now the Caddy drives much better.

I spent several hours trying to stop the bulb out warning coming on after fitting canbus smd number plate bulbs, the only way at present I have managed to stop the warning light coming on is to fit just one smd while the other bulb holder has the normal festoon in, bit of a bodge at the moment which I don't like, I have bought canbus sidelight bulbs at the same time but at the moment they can stay in the packet that they came in.
