Few more parts arrived, some 12 pin deutsch connectors to replace the other plug/socket: Got on with the injector wiring, just need to make the labels for them, not bad for a first attempt. I’ve used similar coloured cables as the factory loom to keep consistency and for trouble...

I ordered some new EV1 connectors to make up a different cleaner loom for the injectors, however the wrong parts turned up, So I set about doing what I could for now with what I have. Started by doing what I could with the existing looms that where in place. Handy Temu de-Pinner came in...

Another angle New gasket put on, The bottom two bolts the nuts have been seized but have worked as normal bolts instead. All back together for now, Next up is do the crank case cover and get the injectors back in, I've ordered some braid and heat shrink to make the looms for the...

I thought id rebuild it get it back on for mot, then over winter I might buy another set and rebuild them but get them powder coated. Got them bled the other day, And everything back together. Just need to sort out what im doing regarding the inlet. I have a new catalytic converter to go on...

Rebuild kit was about £36 for both fronts think AUTODOC is about 47 for 1 from ate, quite satisfying rebuilding them lol

Wishbones turned up. A lot of WD40 and a lot of swearing... got the ball joint detached, thanks to Andy_Mk3 and his tip of nut on and chisel between the CV and the nut. worked a treat... New Vs Old... got sore arms tonight, will keep the old one and probs refurbish it. Just need to...

Started on the Mot failures... Got the front brake off, and managed to slip it down and replace the piston and the seals.... It was difficult to turn the wheel even with it in neutral. Clamped the flexi to stop too much brake fluid leaking... Very crusty.. Gave the surfaces a once...
