just a thought.....have you tried getting klubber(chargergrease) off your hands?? it sticks like hell...id use petrol or paint thinner... if you decide to use degreaser use it neat...fill up the ic and soak it,then use water to flush it..you can get a gallon of degreaser quite cheep at motor factors

clean em with a damp rag..like white spirit....you can also sometimes get away with jet washing em..point the nozzle in that direction btw clean em on the car...they usually break if you try to take em off

get your self a voltmeter..and test volts at battery..then at the headlamps trust the man..relays rock...best mod you can do

made my own copies...i used 6 1/2"rings made from mdf and fibre glass to build up the door pocket...then covered it with stretch vynil they look as good as the others ive seen...prob took 2-3 weeks of evenings to make but cost under£20
-
not sure if this is what your saying?? when abs is working,under hard braking the pedal pulses...so the the wheels dont lock...it is very noticable that it does it and its completly normal did the car stop properly when it happened??....you should find with the light ON the wheels will skid in wet conditions....light OFF it should just pulse the pedal and the wheels do not skid until under 5mph
-
how about a g-lader thats indestuctable??? :wink:

try setting your c/o pot to 450 -500 ohms on the outer pins....not really a mod ..more of a tune up tip....should run nicer....more ohms =more fuel
