Providing they sort my lights out I'll be content at the end of the month 
My issue is they say they can't do mechanical work (don't even have a ramp). My issue is if they say they can't fix it.... Where to then? Back to indy? I'd then need to hope that an indy is willing to open up the lights for me and then also hope they can properly seal them. And then contact American Express.....
But lots of ifs and bits but I truly hope kycs can fix it. As said, the light output is mighty impressive and once sorted they'll be fantastic. I'm annoyed enough as it is, if I need to go to Birmingham and back twice (drop the car off, then collect it later) and it STILL need to go elsewhere I'll be extremely unhappy.

I wonder if theres an outside chance the lights just haven't been fitted to the car correctly? Ie the housings are just pointing at the floor too much. Stranger things have happened, but seeing as two or three separate companies have looked at them you might think something as obvious as this would be picked up already. Good luck with getting them sorted. The light output on mine looks weak compared!

You'd have thought so, especially considering kycs said they have already removed them and tested another pair.Yep, the light output is seriously impressive, it's a shame that by the time they're sorted it'll be BST and I won't need them

Well my replies were removed. Yet Ross' detailing his constant issues and the company name are still there. Grow up, who ever reported it, pathetic.
Anyway, I hope these fantastic* lights by a flawless* company, clearly run by lovely* caring* people, get sorted soon.
We shall see. If they don't sort them I shall be at a bit of a loose end to be honest. Anyway, I hope these fantastic* lights by a flawless* company, clearly run by lovely* caring* people, get sorted soon.

Bluddy'ell Ross 
I can't get to them until quote late on the Saturday as I'm going straight after work. Apparently the main guy will be hanging around to allow me to drop it off. With that in mind, I anticipate them to start work on the Monday 18th and if I'm very lucky I'll hear back then.The car is otherwise doing very well.

Naming and shaming is against site rules.Anyway, I hope these fantastic* lights by a flawless* company, clearly run by lovely* caring* people, get sorted soon.
My post warning you of this was also removed ironically because I quoted you.
I noticed yesterday that there was a slightly larger gap between the bottom outer edges of the headlights and the bumpers than before (checked with photos). This suggests that maybe kycs did indeed take the bumper off, so it is probably quite likely they did swap the lights out. Who knows.

Any updates Ross or is this still testing your resolve?
No updates, it hasn't been looked at since the last update. Being driven to KYCS tomorrow after I finish work. They usually finish at 4pm, which may be pushing it time-wise for me but they said they'd wait for me to arrive. Will leave it with them and hope to collect it all working on the 23rd, although I must admit I'm not hopeful. The last thing I want is to collect it and it still not be working, I don't want the faff of going to yet another place to investigate.E90_M3Ross said:

Fingers crossed they can sort it for collection next weekend.
I am doing a north Scotland trip in June which will be around 2000 miles again, I'm half tempted to get the car booked in for a general check in early May to make sure all is well (eg radiator/water pump/hoses, PAS hoses, brake hoses, check engine, gearbox, diff etc for leaks, check the pulleys and belts and so on) but not sure if it's worth it or not. I probably will as a check won't cost much.

Can you imagine if all of this was just because the sensor was fitted upside down
Unfortunately yes... Been there/done that when I refreshed all the suspension on my E39 touring Ross...Think I mentioned this a few pages back...
I could not for the life of me figure out what was going on; until I took the rear wheels off to clean them as per my OCD goes at times
and thought it didn't look right... Cos it wasn't d_a_n1979 said:
