Ahh - you learn something new everyday

To answer your bulb question -

for 5th gen
reverse bulb is called 382 (its not a wedge capless - more of a bayonet type)
tail/brake light is called 580 (large wedge capless)

Thanks for the bulb reply :)

Yea I know the tank will expand and contract, but I thought it should have a breather and some cars have a charcoal canister thingy as well?
My BMW burnt the vapours from the tank I think.

Mine also sucks air/lets air out when I open the fuel cap after driving. I figured it'd be normal though a little odd compared to other cars I guess.
