right got my fuel comp fitted and working and on a run on the m8 im getting 49.5 mpg
should the comp light up when your lights are on ? and ive noticed since fitting the lights on the heater controls are not working could there be a plug out the rear of the unit ? or is it just the bulbs that have poss gone ? or a fuse?

scott

[planetc]

More likely bulbs than anything else

[blackv6]

well it was that old time again and she passed with flying colours with the comment "that floor is like new son " well chuffed

scott

[TurboSteven77]

are you alive

[blackv6]

well ive put off the arches for now as im going to wait on the better weather coming but i have solved the water coming into the car the rubber seal around the fan motor (under the scuttle panel) took off the plastic guard and stuck a new seal on it,silicone as well and no water seams to be coming into the car now and its being hissing down with rain all morning.Tommorow i will be putting the sound proofing and carpets back in and all the trim back on

scott

[blackv6]

as some of you i had a water leak anyway got that sorted and today put the car back together again here is todays results:D

cheers scott

[bigmitch]

They not just glued on I sure they can be removed without damaged to paint, but I don't now how though?

[TurboSteven77]

yip can be removed no hole just wee dent where badge goes into

[Gaz]

the silver bit is part of tbadge, they are stuck on, think there may be 2 locating holes under the badge

[blackv6]
