Fuse box all re-wired as i unplugged everything when removing the engine for ease.. loom wrapped all the interior loom so its much neater than stray wires.. top dash refitted so i can sort where everything goes.. Seems to be finally coming together.. just last bit of wiring needs tidying and find where a few loose wires go.. fit engine and off i go.. Hopefully  :grin:

On a side note the Halfords small car cover which when i bought it about 6-7 months ago was great is now shockingly bad.. its all cracked in the sun which its apparently not supposed to do and is now letting water into the car.. So ive had to revert back to using old fashioned tarpaulin  :angry: :angry:

Get back to Halfords and get a replacement, or refund.  :undecided:

That's not good enough.

A roll of DPM is just as good and will last as long.
Probably longer as you will get more than 1 piece large enough for less money!









DPM = damp proof membrane. In other words a roll of polythene
