Cheers for the comments :)

Bit of an update; Having sat in the workshop for about 7months it was filthy and wanted to take it to the Elsecar Megameet on Easter Monday, so gave it a good clean over the bank holiday weekend. Makes such a difference having a clean car, so much nicer to drive I always think  :cool:

Also made up a bit of a loom for my duostyling gauges, didn't want to just chock block them in there so bought proper connectors - came out pretty well and makes it easy to remove them if I ever need to.

Got the car indoors at Elsecar which was nice, doesn't meet 'show car' quality, but it was nice to be able to show it off a bit before it gets abused as a daily driver. Speaking of which, got stuck in traffic on the way home last night and was amused to see my mfa reading 17mpg  :laugh: If you don't laugh you'd cry...

Bit of a squeeking from around the pulleys which had been annoying me, so bought some new idler pulleys to see if that sorted it. Made a slight improvement, but something is still a bit noisy which is annoying. Planning on leaving it be until it gets bad enough to properly identify what it is ... or it might just go away as these things sometimes do.

Took a few pics along the way;

How grubby it was;

Made up the loom and fitted my gauges;

Out with the old, in with the new;

Like!

is that AFR gauge the one that piggybacks a signal from the stock O2 sensor? Dunno if they're different now, but a couple of years ago they played havoc with the sensor resistance and led to lots of fuelling issues.

Thanks. It is and yeah I heard about that. I believe Duostyling have since sorted the issue :) I haven't noticed any difference in running since fitting it anyway.
