couple of updates, put the dashboard back in and the front carpet out a scirocco (which fits very badly) for the time being. black carpet will probably make a reappearance when i can be bothered.

had two breakdowns in two days. first was because the dust cap on the dizzy was split in two pieces. i knew that already from when i changed the rotor arm and cap when servicing the car but didn't thing it'd amount to much. first of all one of the pieces moved and stopped my rotor arm from spinning hence gubbing the inside of it.

new rotor arm later, the remnants of the dust cap (which i thought i'd removed) must have spun up inside the dizzy cutting the wires for the hall sender inside it. it wasn't in the best nick anyway to start with really.



so bought a new dizzy and stuck it on from eurocarparts. needs to be timed up properly, but i aligned it as best i could do the previous one, but there's no guarantee that it was right to start with.

fitted a man's fan. cool as anything. (gettit?)



well i think it's nice, fits my mk3 rad, removed off a seat cordoba (or toledo, or something.) came with the 2 speed wiring, but i never used it.
