So had a moment with the car and did this. Is roughly done as it did have a mile counter in there, reason why there is a hole in the right side.
When I stripped it out I've been wondering what to do with it...now need to find a place for the petrol cap switch, also didn't know the switches are the same as in just a switch. So you can use petrol switch for esp and vice versa

Changed gearbox oil and added Wynns gearbox treatment as I have a slight whine at certain revs, also did an oil service and reseated turbo pipe and put screws through the connecting parts it to hold it in place.

Gave it a wash and found a knackered 40A fuse. Great, now I need to find out why that blew and whether I need to splice in new resistors for the fans... and I haven't finished fixing the glow plug fault code problem (deoxit d5 on order) or replaced the coolant sensor yet (also on order).

One day I'll fix the leaks too. I'm beginning to hate this car - more stuff breaks on it quicker than I fix everything!

Serviced, repaired front Lambda sensor wiring, pollen filter replaced, thermostat replaced, SAI removed and fitted new discs and pads all round. A busy day of it.

Scanned codes to get to the bottom of sporadic limp mode.

Filled water bottle :D

Won a Pioneer DEH-2700ui CD/iPhone/USB player of eBay for £19! (sick of buying tape adapters!)

Looking through some old receipts and seeing that AMD Technik charged me £170 for a thermostat change, £70 just to clean throttle body and £70 to replace front splitter (splitter supplied ).

Rare 70 quid to fit a splitter. It only pushes in. Takes about 3 minutes if you take your time.

Fitted new stereo!

...then realised I need a facia and adapter for the aerial. :cry:

Still, at least I can control and charge my iPhone while I drive :)

Embarrassed a Mk3 Civic Type R. With no torque they're not much good uphill!
I love shocking people with my little blue Banger haha. Ep3 type r isn't all that, to much hype and VTEC crap. I've been up against a eg6 b18 and beat it. VTEC lol I like turbo's.
