RE: *Member* Clare's BigCab
It ended up being Option 3. lol.

When I was checking the wire to the fuel pump, I found it was stuck the the exhaust. Doh. Looks like when I changed the tank, I didnt secure the wire enough and it hung too low, touched the exhaust and melted through. So I rerouted a new wire (securly) last night and its fired up perfect, with no blown fuses. YAY.

Still got no dash in yet but feel better knowing what the cause is. I can get putting in back together now.

We've had a worrying week thinking it was going to cost hundreds and all it ended up costing was about £10 in new wires, relay and fuses. Got to be happy with than. lol.

RE: *Member* Clare's BigCab
Put it all back together and its now running. YAY. Went for a blast round yesterday afternoon and all seems good. Finished putting it back together then its first polish. White cars have pros and cons when it comes to polishing. Mostly cons, you cant see where the fuck you've been. lol. But that is a double headed point. You cant see where you've missed either. lol.

Its running like a dream, it still needs a good setting up, it hold back a little on low revs but once on boost its like a totally different car and sound like an animal. I love the sound of an RS turbo.

Just one issue now, the wheel bearing is a little noisy. But that'll get done this week sometime.
