More jobs done this weekend. Despite getting the anti-vibration bolts for the oil cooler I opted against them and just bolted it up solid onto the brackets. Basically because this way it doesn't require the grille to be cut, and also because it sits almost perfectly inline with the cut out in the GTE bumper. I do need to do some quite severe trimming of the inside of the bumper though to make it fit. Pics to follow for that.
Only pics I got were of a switch I fitted for my digital dash. Not really needed but I've noticed when turning the car off there seems to be a slight back feed sometimes to the dash, so thought this way it'll keep the dash safe.

Other things I did were...
- Ran a new length of wire to the oil pressure gauge as the previous one had a join in which I wanted to get rid of with some nice new fresh wire.
- Wired up the fuel gauge the correct way this time lol It now reads empty when the ignition is turned on, which is accurate as there is less than a gallon in the tank, so touch wood thats sorted. Previously it was reading full when the ignition was turned on.
- Washed the car, wheels and under all the arches, also splashed a bit of polish around the engine bay and Rain-x'd my windscreen.
- Filled it with oil and ran it up for 10 minutes and took it all the way up and down the drive lol So far there doesn't appear to be any obvious leaks, and was left with a clean drive and garage floor. So touch wood I've finally managed to eliminate my oil leak.
I'll get some more pics later in the week when I get the bumper back on, but other than that it's pretty much ready for the rolling road tuning session next month
