my fault for not putting who and what i meant down
sorry for confusing everyone
A lot of stripping, trying to find out where the loom goes that I need to replace. FML
Welcome to the wire hunting club! Making good progress though, getting to that stage is the time consuming bit. Where's your wires melted?
Went to get a replacement loom and carpet as it was much better than mine.
Speaking as an Electrician. That looks messy.
Good luck with the new installation.
#7143. Nice knob.

I’ve been getting more and more into auto electrics due to work place and being fed up with terrible wiring, it’s not actually that bad. The cougar is full steam ahead. After I weld the floor and not set any more on fire.
well sod it!
the bearings in tillys water pump decided to completely seize up yesterday and rip the belt to shreds...
no leak no nothing except a loud squeal when i started her, took the pump apart and rust and balls came out of it!
i wouldn't mind but that pump was fitted new 2021 when i brought her home with a hole in the pump body..
thank god for my stash of parts

Love the underbonnet improvement, I hope you can feel it. Bigger TB too It’s all about the diameter
Bootlid clearly aimed at those of a certain age that prefer a bold text. Who, me ? Surely not.

Thanks for the positive comments and yes, even though it's an auto, it definitely feels and sounds more 'lively'.
A length of masking tape stuck across the tailgate tight under the vinyl letters I had on there previously helped line-up the plastic letters. The letters are sold on eBay as Hawke, of Range Rover fame, although they can't officially supply the letters to make up any name to do with that brand.
Adding the ST200 TB with it's bracket has thrown-up a problem with the auto's cruise cable but I'll address that in the correct section.
