All was well and good until we parked up to have dinner. When I went to switch on the ignition the coolant alarm went off. Upon further investigatio...

Looks like you've done a neat job there. Yea I was happy enough with it. I'm not the most tech savvy person but both of them units were simple to fit :D Took it out for its first spin since fitting the TM4, just a quick spin into town so 18km round trip. Max temperature was 87 but it settled on 84....

It didn't even cross my mind to check the club shop

I will be joining as a club member once I get all the info I need together. The previous owner was a member on here anyway so it should just be a switchover of name and insurer

Is this the right bonnet stay clip for the 1998 model? I broke mine today so now the bar won't stay up :roll: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372125461511?ViewItem=&item=372125461511&ppid=PPX000608&cnac=IE&rsta=en_IE(en_AD)&cust=23G66177HW602692L&unptid=fd0c32c0-27d8-11e8-b73a-441...

I'm also planning on buying a split charge system for the front leisu...
