What with the missus and daughter away this weekend I finally got outside for some much needed tinkering on the car and started digging out some of the parts ive collected over the past few months.
First port of call was to rip the horrendous alarm system that was installed by or for the previous owner, not only was it old and unreliable it was appallingly installed and looked as it someone had just thrown the wiring under the bonnet and and behind the glovebox whilst wearing a blindfold!
Once that was all discarded and tidied up I went about fitting the remote central locking kit i purchased from RightClick :
http://www.rclick.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=50&products_id=671ridiculously easy to fit, especially with the mk3 Golf specific plug & play loom. as a bonus it also includes two mk4 style switchblade keys which meant i could debulk my bunch of keys.
Next job was change the few last pieces of vacuum hoses to silicone ones, remove the scuttle tray and clean out the crap from the pollen filter area, replace the broken loom tidy that attaches to the bulkhead and put some new fixings back in the scuttle tray as the ones that were in there were completely mangled from when i had it off for installing the ECU chip yonks ago. Basically it all looks a lot neater now.
Hopefully in the next couple of days il get the opportunity to crack on with these poxy brakes, the plan was to do them today but absent mindedness meant that i forgot to buy some brake fluid and an ABS sensor yesterday whilst my local VW motor factors was open...
Also awaiting the arrival of a middle exhaust box from an eBay seller as the baffles have started to break down in my current one. £20 posted - happy days
