Thanks for the quick replies chaps just what I needed to know thanks.

Hello chaps could someone do a quick diagram on how I can wire up some led strip lights to use as drl's.
Ideally if possible I would like them to come on when the car is running but go off when the headlights are turned on. Is this possible? Think ive put this in the correct section.
Cheers

That's a sweet motor you have there mate,nice touches,looks so clean you could eat your dinner off it.
Keep it up mate.

Yeah if you could do that,that would be great cheers

Small update,snapped the dipstick holder now replaced new cts sensor as temp gauge was on zero,now sorted,new mot,went straight through,cleaned it again,still trying to remove scratches from my zenons. Think im sorted for a while lol,still looking for some cheap leathers and give the inside a spruce...

Looks nice mate,i like the mats,wonder if they do them for a b5 estate,mine are looking a bit worn,could do with sprucing up the inside. Keep it up fellow somerserter

Looking good mate nice and shiney,youve got a fair list of stuff you want done,makes me want to carry on my search for some leathers, Keep it up mate

Still having problems with mine,more noticeable with the lights on,it looks hazy directly on the beam but look more closely and its fine scratches. Is more 2500 wet and dry needed or use more polish with my polisher,they are xenons so there is a bit more scatter light. Any ideas?
Cheers

Cant drink beer,lager and cider gives me hangovers so I drink jd and coke,i know its not beer lol

1st car I drove was a simca,nearly put me off driving for good lol my own 1st car was a yellow mk3 escort estate with all the xr3i trimmings lol

If I had funds the new saab estate bi turbo derv,or lots of funds rs4 wagon

Although mine is a 1.8t vw wanted 700 just to fit mine so 250 sounds cheap compared to mine,did it myself in the end.

Sorry to bring this post up,ive been doing mine on and off and although they are much better when I first started and indeed I said they looked like new,im still not happy with them. I still can see light scratches from using the wet and dry,more so with the lights on. Ive tried the kits,toothpaste ...

If you want some work mirror polish the whole wheel it takes time and is a mare lol,i did one on my build thread but had to spray them all in the end as there was a deep scrape one of the spokes. Yours should look pukka when you've done them. Nice rims

Sounds like it could be the evap valve, it clicks open and closed quickly now and then, its allowing the evaporated petrol fumes to pass into the engine rather than vent to atmosphere. If you take off the top plastic cover that sits over the airbox you will be able to see the valve which is fitted ...

It could be something to do with the aircon think there is a valve or something near the airbox,mine make a noise think its normal,if its that. If its a metallic sort of sound it might be the wastegate flap on the turbo has broke,as mine did. Apart from that cant really help you. Not much help though.

Nice motor mate nice rims and lovin that interior want it for mine lol,some touches you've got going on there keep it up.

I had to remove the liner off to get my module off didn't touch the pump.

The temp issue has now been sorted put a genuine cts in and all is back to normal. FIXED

Only goes up to 44 in my b5 so would it be on another channel

I tried to read it on the climatic controller but couldn't find it,managed to get different numbers up,i assume they were channels but only goes to 45 unless im doing something wrong.

Thanks for the reply mate,i will try one from the main dealers then just wanted to get confirmation first.
Cheers

Hi all my temp gauge used to read dead on 90 but gradually recently its begun to slowly to move slowly back to its starting point. After a 50 mile drive its hardly moved. Header tank is on max and I have hot air still as well. Am I right in thinking its the cts that's at fault? Had a new water pump ...

Ive never owned a derv so cant really compare mines been remapped and it much better than standard,always thought dervs sounded like tractors but technology has improved somewhat and modern dervs are a lot more economical with some grunt if you need it,probably quicker than mine. Personally if I nee...

Could be why ive seen you then,good idea with the build thread will keep an eye on it.
