I've been busy the last couple of days, installed a bov to stop compressor surge, fixed my dccd which wasn't working (car drives better through corners now), and fixed the water temp gauge which wasnt working. I also found a full nokia hands free kit under the dash so I pulled that out along with a few meters of old amp/speaker wires. I am quite suprised how easy these cars are to work on, a lot easier than the previous car.
