I'll get a video up this weekend of the exhaust :-)

Just the earth issue on the clocks to sort, rev counter is now not working and the displays don't illuminate plus the digits go off when the key is turned on, tried bens clocks in mine and his do same.

More tests Tomo hopefully cure this last niggle ;-)

Something must be loose at the fusebox. You need to get a meter and do some testing.

im not sure where to start  :laugh:

on a side note,  had to take the car to bens work to make a bracke, and on my travels the car has had its first test, against the car i was going to buy if i was to get a new car - A green Focus RS...  at the lights he bottled it, but tried to smoke me on a dual carriage way.. BIG mistake haha, because the golf was stuck to the RS.s tailpipe - his fumes were getting blown it to my car (and their was alot of them so he must have really been giving it some)

He opened his window at the next set of lights asking what i had under my hood, i told him and his reply was "in that old thing" haha, so i asked him to have a little blast off at the lights, guess what. He bottled it  :evil:


3rd and 4th Gears are unreal!!!!

I had the same thing with a M3.  :cool:

Study the Rubjonny's fusebox FAQ and compare with that diagram. You do need a meter though to make sure your power and earths are right. Shame your up north, i could have sorted it in no time. :wink:

will get some rolling vids if i can mate  :cool:

Here you can see the Coolant bottle is properly fixed in place by a custom bracket Ben made at work





next we will fit the mk4 windscreen wash bottle so i can relocate the induction kit where the old bottle is at present
 trial fit is good
