Booked car in for a new turbo back stainless exhaust (inc. dummy cat) at Tony Banks in Leeds (comes highly recommended). Must be good has 2 week waiting list

The original 14 year old backbox has finally given up and has a small hole just above the rear tailpipes.

Replaced my cracked dash. Looks loads better. Reworked the software on my headunit to test the vis motors and to give me a MPG readout. Just need to install a tpms now

I finally got my abs issue sorted. It did end up costing £400 though. I needed both drivers side sensors replacing and a new rear hub assembly as the original was badly corroded and damaged. I may need the from doing sometime too as it was very dirty.

Today, I've bought a working 75! It'll keep the dead one company

It's a 2000 2.0 CDT Connie SE.

It needs a couple of minor bits doing to it and a bit of tidying around the edges, but I'm happy with it.

If it's not chucking it down tomorrow, I'll get a few pics of it

Finally fitted all the cruise control bits that have been in a box in the garage for weeks. Main switch has the little green light, but nothing showing on the dash... guess I'll be checking the clutch and brake switches tomorrow!
