yeah ive had two problems since we bought.
1. Gearbox was fucked lol Luckily i had a spare which had only done 16k miles so now thats sorted. Also replaced the clutch.
2. after washing it, it wouldnt start. Turned out to be a fucked relay even though it was clicking and telling our diag...
not worth it for returning it back to a running car. Its a cat C so when fixed it will be worth £4500 max and it will cost near £1200 to get it sorted.
Breaking is another question lol

the difference is crazy to be honest. This is running 420 cams, matched inlets, group_n ecu (not mapped for cams though),SS exhaust, decat, relocated battery and no interior. About 185bhp.

will paint calipers black
ive removed all engine bay relays and clean the nodes on them and the base plate. Ive bumped the car and still wont start. How else would you check the relays without replacing?
The red light goes off with the key turned.
thanks

after washing the ph1 today i noticed one of the relays behind the glovebox was clicking on and off quickly (kpet stopping and starting) while a few lights on the dash were lighting up. Would start fine etc so took it out as i thought it would be water getting to some electrics so i took it out...
