Found the cause of my problems with the central locking and lights, was the little wire from the battery to the loom, it had been crushed and had probably split so swapped that with the one from the v6 loom and my problems were gone.

the wire which caused the problems

and an engine bay shot now looking a bit more complete

Yeah was a v8 cluster, I have another one that i can try

I did have them out that night so will recheck when I get a chance. Its a level 3 cluster and just the screen which shows the k’s doesnt work properly, didnt actually turn the car on as such, just on accessories. Radiator hoses im good for, bought a new set a while ago.

Yeah thats the type im after, I would probably grab that one off eBay if he actually had the radio surround with it. Might just get a VQ one when one pops up locally

New fuel tank in, all breather lines and hoses replaced, also put a new fuel filter in

Motor and extractors are now in

Its got roller rockers (standard ratio) and its been decked just to clean it up and make sure it seals properly  I think, other then that its fairly standard just freshened up

Stands for new old stock, basically new genuine parts which you cant get any more
