It's been delivered this weekend, not sure Friday or Saturday as I've been away, but quick service. All assembled as well, was expecting the sockets ends to be in a separate bag.Just ordered for mine, thanks for the links

I got mine today and fitted it no problem, thanks you for the details. It's a shame you can't choose whether to engage the lock or not.Gadget wrote: There's a sleeve which they install over one of the strut tubes. It's offset with a spring so that at full extension it prevents the other tube retracting. Pushing in the orange section effectively straightens that sleeve, allowing the other tube to slide past it. Sadly only a single position lock and only works at full extension.

Some minor changes over the last couple of weeks.
Wanted a matte screen protector for my stereo - couldn't find anything designed for it, so used a tablet protector which does the job if you ignore the sensor cutout!
Two things I've never understood are a) lack of an engine coolant temp gauge (blue/red light aside) and b) no digital speed display, despite the car being able to display the limited speed setting, really weird that could probably have been added with a dozen lines of code in the ECU.
Both fixed with a £30 OBD2 display from Amazon. It takes a while to power up the first time you use it, but after that it takes 2-3 seconds to come on and powers itself off 20 seconds after turning off the ignition. Displayed speed can be calibrated if it's mismatched to the speedo, but seems spot on up to 40mph, overreads by 1mph at 50 and by 2mph at 60. Visible in bright sunlight, not too obtrusive at night and doesn't look too out of place perched on the dash. Detachable mini USB cable can be tucked down between windscreen and dash, then run down behind dash to OBD port.
Note: photo not taken by driver!

Same here, would prefer a temp gauge, then you can see as soon as it starts going above normal. I have a Scangauge 2 on the dash for temp readout.
