Grill's better, bonnet's better.
Spoiler wouldn't look too bad if it at least matched the profile of the roof toward the edge. Or is it the pictures that make it look like it doesn't match/line up??

I turns the engine over indefinitely without slowing down and the headlights stay bright while it does it.
I'll explore the fuel pump relay before splashing out on a new battery I think.
Frustrating as hell though...I'd so been looking...
My car's thrown an electrical fit and won't start (thread here).
I traced the problem to a relay (nestled under a plastic cover by the battery and airbox)that's clicking 5-6 times while it flashes the gear-change light once the ignition's turned on.
It's supposed to be in this picture, and...
Do have a decat but can't be arsed with bumping it, only live in a small cul-de-sac which has a gradient to it...
I know what the knocking is now...it's a relay under the bonnet...picture to follow...
Right, I'm sat in the car at the moment, with the manual...
Definitely not the immobiliser, both keys I have work and it goes out after 3 seconds.

I hate the 'box on my Omega, got a mind of its own unless it's in 'sport' mode, when it's still got a mind of its own, but it thinks quicker.
Once you've used the CONCATENATE function, make sure you copy and 'paste special' the results as 'values'...or any subsequent copy or use will just be copying or using the formula, not the text result you're after.

Sounds nice with a cat, and better with a decat.
If you can live with that go for it.
