What's the part with the two wires(red and brown)going into it? Top right hand plug on pic. Ben

Yeah I'd never been there until last year( apart from a school trip years ago). I think it was 100 miles from Luton to the ferry terminal in Southampton . Then an hour on the ferry , and finally about half hour to the showground. I did it in my mk2 gtd last year . even that didn't take that long and the turbos nakered !! The fact that the sun was beatin down all weekend and the tunes were consistently good made it quality.

Haha yea might help! It's the 2nd to the 6th of August at the isle of white county showground. http://www.v-dubisland.com

Any1 goin to this? Me and a load of mates went last year and was awesome. Proper chilled out atmosphere and people but would've been better if there was some Corrados. Think there was 1 lol. I'll be drivin mine there this year no matter what . I'll be more careful gettin on and off the ferry this time too😳. it's 25 quid for the weekend but can camp from Thursday I think . Loadsa good ska music n stuff and a sick tank museum next door lol. There was a surf trip last year too. Ben

H After having to wait an extra day for the rears , I've got the steels back from getting tyres. 120 quid for 4 good part worns (4-5mm) fitted! They were trying to get them on for 6 hours yesterday. Fair play to the guys there tho, we're pretty determined .! Just need to save for a decent set of coilies now. Started her up yesterday too. Ran it up to temp and noticed a slight smoking/steaming coming from the cylinder thing located behind the coilpack . There's a water pipe coming from the bottom I think has a tiny hole in. Anyone know what it is? I'll take some pics later if needed. Cheers ben

Cheers Matt looks awsome . Nice 1 Ben

Right. Yesterday I changed the leads as 1 broke. Got em from GSF for about 35 quid ( used my ccgb card for trade discount 😄) the first set I got were totally the wrong size!(too long) so went back and swapped for the shorter 1s. Got them fitted and all was good . Checked all the lights and things and seemed all in check too. Fans kick in at 90 deg like it should! There's a rather noisy noise coming from in the engine tho, sounds like the coilpack side. Like a clicky sound. I'm guessing this is the chains? Or maybe the tensioners I've read about . I'll check tonight if it's had them done yet but if not its something I'll need doing!(probly attempt it myself with a couple of mates! Could be fun ! I'll study the wiki page as much as poss lol Also thanx to 8vmatt for sortin out the new headlight switch, looks beautiful lol. And thanx also to daves16v for the radiator fixings. Nice 1. Cheers guys
