2002 Silver Arrow
New Silver Arrow owner - Help needed.

Hi folks.
I am the proud new owner of a 2002 Silver Arrow with about 45 days remaining on its original factory warranty. I have a couple of questions for you experienced veterans out there.

1. My car came with the Xenon low beam option. The high beams are regular halogens and they are AWFUL; yellow light is projected about 150 feet out front and then it is useless after that, even though they are aimed properly. Can anyone tell me what is the standard bulb type and what is an easy upgrade bulb?

2. Does anyone have a 2002 Sales Brochure that they are willing to sell?

3. The left font brake sometimes squeals. Is this covered under warranty?

Many thanks for your anticipated answers.

Congratulations on your purchase. You will love this car.

May I suggest ... post some pics on the R129 piture thread & record your age on the R129 driver age thread.

Re:

2. I have a 2001 Canadian sales brochure. If you do not locate a 2002. PM me if you are interested.

3. Brakes squeel after washing the car. In my experience they do not squeel after some hard breaking and in the dry.
