Oh! Which one is it? Advertised on here?

Epic value for money!

I aimed to pull my lump out and stick the 24v in and be done in a couple of weekends. Oh how it has gone so badly wrong! Don't let that worry you though

Another day, another update! As part of the 02J gearchange upgrade, the reverse light switch changes and you are no longer able to plug the reverse light loom in. You have 2 options. Option one is to make sure that you get the first part of the 02J switch loom and solder that into the Corrado loom. The other option is to change the switch for one which the Corrado can plug into. There is a switch from a Mk1 that works, Part number 020 945 415 A and looks like Got it from eBay Volksbits for 5 or 6 quid delivered and it works a treat. Simple things! List of things still to sort out! ABS Light Exhaust system - Thinking of the full dubpower system once I've seen how the replacement OEM system looks Battery tray New Drivers wing mirror as the old one fell off! Suspect brake light switch. VCDS is showing the position sensor as failed but the light switch as working. Poxy thing isn't even that old from VW! May go and get it swapped under the 2 year warranty on parts scheme. And then maybe i'll be able to get it MOT'd, tracking sorted, Insured and taxed. Then I can look finishing any shake down tests before using it as a car!

£35 transferred to you over PayPal Ron, Thanks again fella!

Good job! Let me know, PayPal is awaiting! Can I be cheeky and ask for one of that latest ones. I'm just a bit of a "last ever batch" kinda guy!

Sweet!

Look at the 1.8t thread on club gti. Same ecu and the major wiring is the same. Some subtle differences but it's all there in that thread!

Build it yourself. If you can solder and read a current diagram, it's easy. There are plenty of guides dotted about.

Ah, dunno how I got it for that much then. I'll look at my receipts at some point.

I think that's the cost including a new barrel is it not?

Not cheap ones either!

New ignition switch for under 15 quid from the dealer. Total oem!

Sounds like a vacuum leak to me.

Aren't those more expensive than your ENTIRE car?

Out of a scrapped E46 318 BMW. I get bored wondering around scrap yards looking for things that I can use! Basically, I went around all of the BMW's in my local scrappy and had a look around at what all the different solutions were to a battery in the boot. There are 3 different ways on the E46 shell alone on how electrics are sent from the boot.

No real gain in doing it any other way! I fix flying stuff for a living, it's kind of in me to not cut corners!

My OCD forces me to do it this way mate. That and I can't be doing with listening to the missus moaning in my ear if it breaks down on me even once!

Cheers James. Slowly slowly catchy monkey!

Nice wheels! Is this one of the very early ones that avoid the Aston Martin levels of tax?

Got a little bit further in my battery relocation today. I fitted the fuse holder in place below the earth strap and light. I've got to fit the tray yet but that is a problem for a different day. Pictures tell a thousand words and all that. The setup in detail - The end of the wire has been heat shrink wrapped since this picture and the bolt head below it has been insulated against the battery feed. There is a few mm of clearance anyway but best safe than sorry! A wider view With the cover on I'm going to have to remove the carpet around the earth strap and fuse holder but i'm going to put a false wall in to hide all of this or I may just live with the lumpy carpet. Not sure yet. I'm straying towards the false side to hide all the workings.

Sorry fella, not really in my neck of the world. Good luck!

I mean the hatch btw!

Where are you? I'll have it if you are geographically convenient! I'm on my tablet hence I can't see any profile location shizz!
