Re: Silverstone Classic
There is agood chance I won't be able to make it... as I'm going back to France!!! I bought two pass for three days when there was a 16% offer or so. If it is confirmed I'll call the orginasiers to know if I can have my money back or I'll sell the tickets to someone here... cheaper than I bought them!

Re: Ever since my diff oil change!
I do agree with del for the oil. And if you are not sure about your differential then use the 75W140 as it covers the need of the 75W90. And for the quantity it is simple. Fill up until it's full, the oil will come out of the filler plug hole and you won't be able to put any more. Make sure your car...

You can change the bigger bulbs hold by the green holders!
But you can't on the beige and black ones. It is possible to take the bulb off, but the steels parts come with it and I don't think it is possible to buy just this part!

OK, so according to real eom we have:

12V W3W x 3
And the one for the mileage and service are the 12V 1.3W. I think I'll order some on line, on somewhere I can return them easily if I'm wrong!
So last question... are they all white???
