Can't believe your car actually looked like this at once, I guess it was well before I ever had a VX!

It looked quite good from about that distance. any closer though and it was a different story

It was June 2009 - In only left it on for three weeks.

'the catch mechanism'

Blimey, there is a part on my car that is in better nick than James

this was a bit of a problem

So i took it all apart, had the holder for the switch restored and powder coated



And then put it all back on the car:


thats better, i can get on with putting it back together now.

Surely it is meant to be straight on the bracket?

Do you still need a fuel rail? Have one in the shed and will be passing Thatcham on Saturday morning..

[JG]

I've bought one (the one i linked to actually) it should be here tomorrow but thanks for the offer.

I've noticed one other thing during my heater fitting - the later Turbos have a cable tie around the wiring block on the wiper motor to stop the connects from popping out (mine have done that previously). If you can deal with the lack of OEM-ness, might be worth adding.

[JG]

i don't think i'm completely following. the block with the green and red going into it?
