Most impressed Adrian.
How long did it take you to complete this intricate needlework? :smile:

Well, as I was being careful to follow Steve's guide and not having done much of this before I'd say 45 minutes in total and that included removing/replacing all the trim and the battery

Cocktail stick worked for me.

One issue I did have was that I had some fun errors on the display and the steering kept trying to force me off the road. A simple restart fixed the issue, but I assume that the ABS doesn't like being disconnected and needs to remind itself of a few things.

I have also recently installed the wiring loom from steve and thanks to his excellent guide it went without a hitch,the most difficult part was passing the wire through the bulkhead.A worthwhile mod,everything works like a dream.
