Was that the carpark in Switzerland where we weren't allowed to leave any oil marks?

Just had a quick look through my S2N photos in case I had any with Zebrocco in. Sadly can't see any.

I think that was actually in Calais on the first night. It dumped its coolant. Several times if I remember rightly

I'm sure I could find a more colourful way of saying this, if I could be bothered: no.

Great work! The fun of putting it all back together. I am looking forward yet dreading it at the same time. :-D

I am looking forward to seeing the colour. :pilot:

bit of an update. no pics as nothing much has changed to look at. original wiring is now mostly back in and operational. spent last few days chasing silly little problems like the alt warning light, which eventually turned out to be the bulb fallen out :diablo:

this evening hopefully getting the digipants loom connected up and a new fuel pump loom made, then it should start on the key. woo yeah!

i know it'll start. i'm more worried about my home made loom for the headlights, engine and ecu catching fire! i've got fuses everywhere, and all the new stuff is on an extra 10 way fusebox

You can bin the ISV and run an aux air valve instead, if you want to simplify the wiring. I'm running that with an ABF on Kjet. The idle isn't perfect, but the ISV'll never clog up or fail to engage because the throttle microswitch failed….
