So after a little hiccup i now have fog lights. The other day I wired the mod up and the car wouldnt start. What had I done! So i took the whole mod out and the car still wouldnt start. Turned out one of the starter motor wires had come loose. D'OH! So today I wired up the mod again and presto, fantastical it all runs as does the car. Yay!


I also now have a working speedo so all thats left to do now is get it booked in for an MOT, its first ever. It should pass with maybe the odd advisory but im hoping for a full clean pass. 


Its taken 4 months to get to this stage and i cant believe the day is finally here.

So did the car pass the rigorous, unforgiving and torturous MOT? Well yes it did, with flying colours. Yay!

One advisory which is the speed at which the right indicator flashes as it flashes more than 120 times a minute. Meh, a pass is a pass.

Next step.... registering

The car drove wonderfully. The temp stayed where it should so the fans never came on the whole time. I cant wait to finally drive the car regularly

Just a bit. I cant believe it and i know i shouldnt of but i took the long way to get to the MOT and the longer way back home. Its a fantastic ride. Ive never seen so many thumbs up, smiles and mobile phones.

No problems filling the car up either.
