Just a couple of of estate questions really....

Anyone have experience of removing the ugly black tape like stuff that runs across the tailgate below the glass?

Also I recall reading a looong time ago about some sort of mod to the tail light cluster, something about the fog light being swopped with brake light IIRC? Can someone clarify what this was about please?

Piece of pi$$ mate.
Find out which wire is the live feed for the brake light and fog light on the ribbon cable.
Cut and splice, jobbed.
10 mins max. Even I can do it, and I aint no electrician.
Although I'm better than the helmuts in work, so be warned, stay away from our buses, they're lethal.

Ed - there's a section on estate light swappage here on the BX DIY site - though it may not detail exactly which wire colours are involved.

Thanks for the info lads, a sudden flashback to a previous BX with heavily tinted front side windows .... I used a steam wallpaper stripper to remove it, worked a treat leaving no residue! That should work for the 'orrible placky bit too

Brilliant, there's a wealth of electrical mods to be found there!!

Oh, and it does give wiring details including the interesting fact that the mod only needs doing to the left side ribbon as it follows through to the rhs
