Did you try Sky insurance?
Don't insure our area Adam.
Ahh aye, i remember LeeH saying now
Had a few minutes this morning so i got done some jobs that i had been waiting to do for ages!
First job was something that i've been wanting to sort for ages. My xe has always had a problem with idling when warmed up etc, it used to hunt quite badly and the revs would fluctuate up and down and when you were coasting in gear it would kangaroo backwards and forwards and be really annoying. the breather mod has been done, the icv has been changed, all the breathers had been checked aswell EXCEPT for the one on the front of the rocker cover, i thought it was in ok conidtion but when i stripped my engine to paint the block i realised it looked like this:

Which i'm guessing isnt going to be helping the engine at all, so one trip to vauxhall and £9 later, et voila,

Fitted a new pipe, only took about 30 seconds but hopefully should make all the difference! Got a bit gay and fitted some blingy new jubilee clips too :wtf:
Second job of the morning was too fit this:

First of all i had it powdercoated to fit in with the whole engine bay theme i've got going on:

and then i got on to the fitting of it!Before:

i think it looks quite nice in there and ties in really well with all the other powdercoated bits and pieces i've got in there!
Also managed to get my alarm working the other day :d The wire for the bonnet switch is brown and when i wired the alarm loom into my mk1 i just presumed brwon=earth and earthed the brown wire, soooo the alarm thought the bonnet switch was open all the time and wouldnt arm, now it does wooo! Also wired a 5 wire solenoid into the drivers door so that the alarm operates the central locking, cheers to Lee H for his help n the cold and Mr Rigg for the wire colours!
Lastly just a couple of random pics to finish the update:
Shot of digi dash all working and stuff, a pic i look so up it goes:

Iv really enjoyed watching this nova being built up, top work.
Is that a fiber glass tailgate ? looks like one.
i know what you mean bud, you often see then on Minis but like like we both saying personal taste, other than that 12/10
