Cheers Riny :D ...this has been a right ole journey to say the least...

I am no Sparky and the last few months ...YES MONTHS have been me sorting out the electrics...and to be completely honest I have absolutely hated every minute if it LOL
For whatever reason I just find the whole process completely tedious...I absolutely agree that its just not for me...I just need to get over and through it.
Weekend after weekend of sacking it off and cracking open a Stella.

Latest conundrum has been getting the MG fixed up....went off the manual and just couldn't get it operating anything like it should.

Anyway booked a couple days off work went on Amazon and bought some M2 rose joints and M2 threaded rod and it appears to have cracked it.
