Update on progress so far..

This is the washer bottle that doesn't hold fluid.. So not much use. It is a mess of cut up bottles and bits and needs addressing at some point soon!



Decided to change the side repeaters, the ones fitted had loads of excess cable left bundled up and wanted a more factory look so set about fitting the standard items.



Holes ready to be cored



New lights fitted with the correct wiring loom and plugs



Looked into the anti-lag wiring and it seemed very messy, although fun to use for now I decided to remove the wiring. The anti lag also meant the idle valve didn't work properly and the cold idle was awful, so I also looked into the idle valve..




Found the valve to be butchered so set about replacing it






New valve fitted.. Turned out it was easier to remove the throttle body housing as one of the threads on the housing had been stripped.. So decide to nut and bolt through. Later realised this wasn't the best idea as it's impossible really to remove the valve on the car so repaired the thirds with helicoils.

Whilst it was off I noticed fuel lying in the intake elbow.. Shows how badly the car is over fuelling.. So soon looked to getting the management changed.



And cleaned



Then turned my attentions back to the front driveshafts and bought these



These are the extended GGR shafts and are designed to stop the front shafts pulling out when the car is lowered so they should be a good replacement for the current worn items

Fitting




With these fitted thought it was time for a drive again.. Lots had been apart and it was more of a test drive to make sure everything was working as it should.. Except this happened



Inner CV joint popped out on the passenger side.. Great. So something wasn't right. FIVE HOURS later I finally got picked up by the RAC!!!



So back to the garage and wait for another day to find out why this had happened.
