BTW mine now has red underbody lights. I need to fix them better before
driving the car, but the long side ones are held on with titanium
brackets, oh yessiree, only the best on My DeLorean!

They also power up when I remote-start the car.

Diesel Centre meet - suggest you officially book in the work you want
done and hopefully we can get Jason for the day, then we can all get
some work done. He's really keen on working on 4426 - I've already
booked it in for the engine swap. Now all I need is an engine.... Jason
has found a Volvo one for £40 but I have to go see it to know what it's
like.
