As in I seen another post about changing the bulbs to match the DRLS and what a difference!! Is there anything else anyone normally does first?

      Yeah, not surprised you feel it's underpowered if you've come from a diesel(providing it wasn't a classic non turbo!), will deffo not feel as responsive, especially low down. It won't be a 0-60 car but I find the 1.8s travel well at a cruise.

            She's right, and I suggest you jump on that opportunity! Worth the curb risk

              Check out the members cars section for some ideas buddy.
              Can get costly very quickly but it's satisfying

                        It is normal for some condensation to form in the headlight (and tail lights) but if it's droplets it could be you have leaks in them. Even if there's no leak it can get quite heavy at times depending on the weather temperatures. Try dropping some of these inside the light housing to see if it helps https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50-x-1g-P...e385bc3e6a94fb

                            Been reading a fir bit of the forum and loving it allready!!

                            Recently beacame the owner of a 2015 1.8 SRI with 49000 on the clock, loving every minute of it, although it feels very sluggish? Need to rev the back side out of it on any hills? Does that sound right for this engine?

                            First upgrade was to match the headlights with the DRLs - stolen idea from this forum!! Any other basic mods to be done?

                            Thanks
