My new Veccy

[Merlin51]

Thanks guys for your favorable comments, im having fun getting to know the car and although a lot of the mods are common ones there are thjings ive done to make the car 'my own'

mick616 - the elite door handles i got on Ebay, £60 inc delivery and they are all scratch/dink free so i was chuffed with that. Easy to swap over aswell, just breaks the black up a bit and compliments the chrome strips on the top of the doors.

dougie89 - no my bottle doesn't have the sensor........ yet, but the loom plug was tied up nearby and after a good clean it will be usable but that's a job for the summer when the front bumper is off to do the other upgrades.

The warning came up on the GID because of no sensor and when i short the pins in the plug the warning goes away. So what i meant by testing the sensor was i tested the washer bottle loom plug to mimic a sensor so i know check control is doing its thing
