I love this car! Proper approach and everything done well and no corners cut!
How did you wire in the kill switch? Just wired to the negative or positive?
And what sort of terminals on the battery?
Cheers.
Ive got a battery box in the wheel well, 25mm2 cable with a 125 amp megafuse next to it, longacre bulkhead connector, and then cables joined in a dist. box. Ive done away with the fuse on the starter cable and crimped a new ring terminal onto it. Earthed with a short cable bolted to the wheel...
Hmm seems very high! When I was 21 I insured my 182 for 1k, that was with Elephant, fully comp, business cover, 3 points and a claim!
Look around and add named drivers etc and fiddle with the parking on road/garage options and see what gets it as low as possible.
The wiring for EPAS will probably end at the bulkhead connector and need a wire fitting into the engine bay side and a fuse adding to the box.

@GrahamS hmm I might nip to the scrappys tomorrow and see what I can pilfer.
Can I get to the bulkhead connector with the dash top off or is it a dash-out job?
Yeah, I suppose I could actually use my 8awg wire to that plug and to the bulkhead connector block anyway?
How easy are the pins to remove and fit onto a new wire?
Wow, ridiculously helpful! Thanks for the time and effort doing that.
Il have a look tonight and sure will have some more headscratching!
Ive ordered this kit and it comes with a new plug to wire to...
@GrahamS that would be great if you could. Could you point me to the pins I would need?
So plug and wire from scrappies - pin to bulkhead connector interior side - pin to bulkhead connector engine bay side - run cable to fusebox and fuse it 50 amp from there? Or have you used an OE fuse...
@GrahamS
Thanks, very helpful!
Do you think running it to the through connector and fused just before would be adequate if I were to use my 8awg wire? I will look into the DCI wiring, would it be a case of getting the dash wire from a scrappy or would I need to change my bulkhead plug to the...
I have wiring for cruise but not fitted, its a ph2 172 and behind the panel with the ESP switch, I have a purple plug which I believe is for cruise, would that be suitable?
And am I best splicing in and soldering?
I had a similar issue and it turned out to be the pump, and pipe damaged near the pressure switch causing it to lose fluid.
Ive ripped it all out and going for an EPAS conversion so I dont have to worry about those bloody pipes again!
Hi everyone,
Im going to fit this setup over the next few days now I have finally got a straight rack!
Just a few things to check;
Using an 8 gauge wiring kit from my car audio days for the power - its good quality vibe stuff - is this 'beefy' enough?
Where can I take a switched feed for the...
Thanks, sorry - I am using 25mm2 cable through a longacre connector and 175amp is to put a terminal on the standard wiring in the engine bay so I can connect it to a distribution block with the other cable from the fusebox.
Hi,
Relocating the battery to the boot and want to do away with the big fuse near the battery in the standard setup.
The battery will be megafused so no worries there.
Does anyone know the gauge of the cable this is attached to, or the easiest way to find out? I only have 10mm terminals so...
Does everyone just use QD in between washes? I always thought that would just drag the dirt around and really you should do a proper wash?
Maintanence in between washes is something I struggle with, I generally pre-wash and jetwash every week, proper wash alternate weeks.

Unboxed last night and was impressed with the quality - really nicely put together. The camera sphere is in 2 halves and unscrews to fit the micro SD card.
Downloaded the apps and really...
Ive just ordered a Foscam Ip dome camera. Was about 60 quid, has POE and a micro SD slot, both of which are important for me. Pick it up today and will let you know how it is!
Im trying to install Jarvis on a fresh stick, im at the download page in ES Explorer, but when I click on the 'ARM' link, nothing happens? Exe files etc. All seem to work but obviously arent the right ones.
