I opted for Newcastle, even though they are supposed to be pretty harsh, I did have a think about Beverley but it is a wee bit too far away and Newcastle is only 40 mins.....Carlisle was my second choice, you are welcome to come along to see what its all about David.

I'm only 2 mins from the test centre so if you need any urgent mods you can lend my tools!

Thats brill Dave ....I will let you know when my test date is when I get it.
Been having a play with some buttons today and so far so good I now have an engine start button in the dash..except you cannot see it as I am working it so you have to press the "word" START to turn the engine over and at the same time I have put a remote start button in the engine bay as well so I don't have to run backwards and forwards to start the engine. will get some photo's up tonight.

Question

Here are those photos I promised off last time showing my "invisible" start button, and my remote start in the engine bay.....and speaking of which I have now finished the wiring in the engine bay yet it still looks like spaggetti junction but at least it is all secured, need to move on to internal wiring which is done but needs taping and cable ties

Hi Kev
Just noticed your post re water leak a little while ago.
Mine developed a leak at the test centre It wasn't a fail in itself but the testers were concerned about either possible burst or having hot water dripping on them whilst checking the car. They asked me to do something about it. I fixed it while they were inspecting
The car is running for a long time during the test

Funny you should mention that AJ, as I could'nt live with the said leak so I sent away for a new water pump yesterday and it has just come a few minutes ago. so it is a job for today.....tw*t of a job as the crank pulley has to come off
I did get my clutch and brake system filled and bled ...pleased to say no leaks and brake pedal has hardened up very nicely.
