Dave, have you like most, not got a pot of random nuts and bolts? If not, I'm sure there's probably one you could nick off the car from somewhere that isn't vital for now.

Real world, 37 mpg IME. Motorways if you can deal with being bored, 42mpg, 40 normally. Even when really abusing it you'll still see 18mpg

If you've got a sparky coming over and he hasn't got a few random bits like that lying in his van I'd be surprised.

God I'm good.

Dave: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/terminals-splices/crimp-ring-terminals/?searchTerm=ring+connector You're looking for "Crimp Ring Terminals"

From a quick bit of research, 120 amps apparently. I could be wrong though.

These are a bit too small for me, but it's the internal diameter! See it says 6mm! http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_157590_langId_-1_categoryId_255229 Dave you are chief spanner

Can you not get to a local motorfactors or even halfords?

Why 13mm Dave? Are you on crack? The outside of the nut will be 13mm, the hole on that bolt is likely 6 8 or 10mm. So the inside of that o-ring wants to be 6/8/10mm, right??

In terms of reliability, coming from my ph1, they're really very good. In the time I had mine I did the clutch (age/miles), and the only thing to actually fail on me other than that was the top engine mount. It cost me a box of beer for DannyR to drive me another one down. Oh, and my passenger...

Got a multi meter? Go through the wires and see if you can identify which wires go live on switch unlock and switch lock?

I know Adam on here did, but I don't know if he got it all working. Are you any good with electrics? You may be able to get it going with a mutlimeter. How many wires for each?

Interesting one.... Try to take a look at both haynes manuals is my only advice.

Personally I like to fit four different tyres to every new car I get, then I do a series of tests to see which I like best. Corner hard right and accelerate, corner hard left and accelerate, which ever corner feels like it has the most grip, the opposing side to the direction you cornered...

Dave you can crimp with pliers just not little ***** ones, either mole grips, or something big.

Pictures?

I could always take the car and then sell you the bits once you've got the funds and dropped the pounds ;-)

End of feb, we'll talk figures. ;)

Are you keeping it until Manch? If its end of march I'd think about it yeah...

FFS I want it. But to put recaros and back seats in. Are you selling in march?

That's awesome Ben. That light isn't there in the ph1, no. Tbh if I did it again I'd be half tempted to try and splice a ph2 interior loom in, whether it'd work I don't know. John, depends how competent you are really? When I undertook mine I was just someone with a tool kit, the dash, and a...

I did actually mate, thanks for reminding me. I was going to look at changing the switches over on the board to make it work. But yeah the ac does need double clicking. Does your heated rear window work Ben?

Interesting, I hope there will be plenty of pictures etc?? Sounds awesome!!!!!

Yeah I was a bit annoyed though because I rushed the guide and rushed the dash, I got it all in before i had it 100%, then ended up pulling that AC panel about 8 times. I thought I'd amended it right, but I've had a few PM's to say I haven't. I'm pretty sure the switches are just in series...

If you do it, could you post a picture of the connector, and then what wire you moved where, most of mine is right, I know it, I just know there's one mistake (possibly two) somewhere and it's too long ago to remember. Drives me mental. If someone local wanted it done I'd jump all over it so I...

Double FYI, if you put the ph2 dash in with care, it'll rattle a LOT less. Buying a pack of those J clip thing because you'll need some is also a good idea.

FYI there is a small mistake in my guide somewhere but it's from so long ago I can't remember what the right way is. Infact, there's two in the same place. It's to do with the wiring of the AC panel, I show it one way in a picture, but the text disagree's, also, I'm quite sure the heated...

Thanks to Chris' post I've just realise where this is. I love that road so so much, JD's dad caught me on kirkstone pass after I'd been there and text him to ask if one of his 'Clio buddies' was hooning around the lakes... :o So jealous you're local to this, like, insanely.

Enjoyed that Piers, and great to know the crash hasn't ruined driving for you. Got to be the best thing about the mk2's, they're the perfect mix of pace and that go kart feeling we all love. They're not do fast that giving it hell on the road will see you either dead or in prison, and they're...

I have no words, more money than sense....
