That one was my own stupidity and forgetfulness... luck didn't have a hand in that.

Serious dent in the wallet... not a mark on the car.

Well I have good news and bad news then some more good news... Good news 1; the battery survived the night and the car fired this morning and throughout the day... the new battery (read second hand tatty thing from the mother-in-law-to-be's old golf) is performing very well and appears happy with th...

I assume if you did remap the vehicle and could demonstrate correct insurance (i.e it's been declared...) they couldn't fail you for illegal ecu modification.

Looking good mate... Patterson's is utterly fantastic for getting random shit made too, they did my crank locking tool as well.

Anyone on here? Didn't catch the reg

Many congratulations on that good news mate.

That is the last resort... I'd rather run a 120A one (obviously) but after todays pantomime I very well may just jump straight to that solution and go from there. Oh and I'm 100% sure the battery is discharging horribly fast.

Indeed it is fella

She also had some new all weather tyres for the standard alloys on the front, next is to sort the charging issue. I'd tested the alternator and it seems to be charging incorrectly, so I'll be looking for a 3 litre v6 alternator next, or solutions

Thirdly just buy that cav turbo, the longer you spend dicking about with swaps the less likely you are to get your fabled turbo as they are quickl...

Turns out it was simple... and weird.

The clutch cable has seized inside the sheath... found it disconnecting it from the box. So I'll replace the bugger and then I can fit the other new tyre, win.

Yup... but today we have no movement whatsoever. Release bearing I think...

bearing I believe.

The cav's reign over the roads began today at 12:30 and ended 12:35 today... I think I have an almost seized release bearing that would not free off. So it would appear I have to remove my gearbox this week... in the persistent slush, I'd prefer to do it in snow than slush but hey ho. I'm rambling s...

Rasputin

...and the radiator is fitted with new jubilee clips to match the new rad and fan switch, I jump started the poor girl (she's losing electricity... and this is the third battery but that's another problem for another day) and after a moment to gather some spark she turned and fired on the first atte...
