Re: Convert twin square headlight back to single round

No hassle in the conversion back to round headlights I imagine - should just screw straight in. LIke said above you won't be short of offers to trade.

Re: T25 Brakes Problem

you have got enough brake fluid in haven't you?
can you see any leaks anywhere?
you're 100% sure they're bled properly?
