got it all working eventually, the standard wires for the stereo are all tangled and wrong, and the sub and amp and speaker wires are everywhere, I blew 2 fuses getting this thing working, and when I did get it working it never turned off so I need to make my own wire going to the ignition switch. I need an adapter for the sub and the amp as I only have 2 ports on the stereo so not everything can be plugged in, and when it did work it just kept cutting out, then I put it in my mates car and worked fine and sounded great!!! so what im going to do is,
replace fuses in fuse box as most of them are shot
new sub+amp and speakers
new wiring, start from scratch as original wiring is sh!t
wire vdo gauges in when get sub and amp
just rewire most things in and around my dash board to make them a lot tidier and so they actually work..
makes sense to me
also had the steering wheel on yesterday and spent most of the day driving it about, pulls and goes very well for a 1.3
pulled away quicker than a 1.6 ztec fiesta.. geabox is good, no second gear crunch, clutch is good, brakes are rubbish though as one of my discs are warped an the other discs are rusty. new discs and pads on the list to buy also!
