March 21, 20169 yr Got the gauge setup all plumbed in to the engine bay yesterday with the much appreciated help of stants :) Realized a silicone set of pipes will make working on the car less hassle - that stock plastic intercooler y-pipe is the worst! Would never have got that off on my own would have ended up throwing my tools out the pram. Only gauge we didn't get a reading off is the water temp - going to fault find that when I get chance this week assume the it is most likely a dud sender sensor but will check it's not the gauge either. Got boost, oil pressure, oil temp and voltage all working as they should though which is pleasing and tidied all the wiring up to keep it as neat as possible.
March 21, 20169 yr Author Looking good mate, So my 'sf5' zeros ports undertray arrived today, as I expected it's not looks like a classic one, so there's a 2" gap all the way round to the i/c and it's about 3" too long so do I go to the hassle of modifying a skirt to fit,of just sell it on ?? Gappage

March 24, 20169 yr heat wrapped downpipe was waiting for me upon my return from 4 days away working :)
March 25, 20169 yr Gave the new girl a quick clean today. Getting a proper valet/detail next week so not gone mad but come up well. Got a proper look at the paint while cleaning too. Paint work on the whole is a lot better than my old one. FAR less stone chips, but has got a few more blemishes and slight scratches. Lacquer is bubbling on the boot lid too, but planning on getting that sprayed anyway as per usually with these it's showing signs of surface rust under the spoiler. The rest I'll get sorted a and when. Overall, very happy with it though. Over last couple of days got a major service and check over sorted by Martin too. All fluids replaced, dodgy top rad coolant pipe replaced and undersealed. Looks to be in good condition :). Although found whoever fitted last spark plugs must have struggled and not been well versed in doing them on Scoobs. All coil packs finger tight, 1 of which actually just pushed into place and not tightened. All plugs were just slightly more than finger tight too, one of which the crusher washer was still in tact. 😁 Luckily no signs of any damage because of this and was running fine. Very happy he found them though. Fitted new 7b's ready for when it's mapped 😀. Said its a sweet sounding and running engine too so all good. Had a Cat 1 alarm fitted too as the !Removed! don't have them on there's. Been a busy couple of days. New brakes have been delivered and tyres are on there way. 😊 One of the original wind deflectors is missing too so picking one of those up tomorrow all going well.
