Replacement parts fitted: headlights and distributor |
Tue 12 May 2015 04:42:18 PM |
Hi folks!
I recently fitted some new parts, and wanted to share my experiences. I swapped the headlights as the original units with plastic lenses were casting little, if any, light at night. The plastic lens had become too milky. I also replaced the distributor, as the original had a coil pack failure. Headlights ~ $150 delivered http://www.expresscarparts.com.au/products.aspx?makeid=14&modelid=286&year=1995 These were a great buy! Local, Australian distributor. Glass lenses. Once fitted with new bulbs as well (details below), I couldn't believe the difference! Osram Nightbreaker H4 bulbs ~ $35 delivered from Ebay I got them in from the UK. Australian street legal. Nice and powerful white light. CAD brand distributor ~ $170 delivered from Ebay http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1//1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337873294&icep_item=120960327329 Another local Australian delivery. Chinese Automotive Distributors brand. Fired up first go. Works fine so far. 1 year warranty. The only comment I'll make is the configuration of attachment plugs is different to the original, so the CAS connection appears stretched. If it becomes an issue I can get an auto-electrician to make up a new cable. O2 sensor ~ $70 delivered on Ebay. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1//1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337873294&icep_item=121601376473 A plug and play unit, for a very good price. Local delivery. Otherwise, the n-CVT has clocked up over 170,000km and is still chugging along nicely. I'll next look at replacing the carbon rods in the electro-mechanical clutch, to play things safe. |
