Running a wire from engine bay

[mantis946]

I have a gauge that runs off the intake and looking at threads it seems most use the bonnet release grommet behind the glove box, ive tried to feed the tube through it with a bit of washing up liquid but it just gets stuck and the space in the1.4 bay makes it fiddley to get to. Anybody got any ideas or better, another place to feed it through Also, how long does it normally take for membership cards to arrive

it's usually the firewall that stops it; What ya need to do is unclip the power steering fluid bottle and move it out the way, peel back the firwall so you can see the grommet from the engine side, then fron the inside use an old coat hanger or like I sid just some strong rigid earth cable or the like to feed through and tape the cable you want to go through to it then just feed it all through until you spot it from the engine bay then carefully pull through. Hope that helps fella. Not sure on the membership, mine came through within a week...
