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...

Re: New MOT changes for 2012
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.

Re: Squig's CDX v6; WIP
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.

Re: Squig's CDX v6; WIP
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

Re: Squig's CDX v6; WIP
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.

Re: Squig's CDX v6; WIP
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...
