Brilliant, I thought so too so now I just need to find one! 

Just thinking bud, its maybe the windscreen washer bottle I'm thinking off 

[Pikey009]

I’ve seen the header tanks located there though and pretty sure in some GT’s they were there from factory too

Great help mate thanks. Now i just need to find this bloody AC connector to check if it's bridged

[Pikey009]

Absolute bust today, just wanted to start the car to bleed the cooling system and the stupid toad alarm started playing up and the car won't start!

[Claymore]

Had a quick search and came up with these threads that had photos re. ac bridging:

Some say its a 2 wire plug others say its a 4 wire? Should be located passenger side behind the battery area originally attached to a sensor in a pipe. Yours might have the sensor plugged in then taped up in the bundle behind the battery, or you might be able to compare the wire colours of the plugs to the photos on the threads above.

[Pikey009]

Thanks mate i'll check them out

[Pikey009]

So this is what I found under a mountain of tape. Looks like somethings bridged to me, fuck knows if it’s right as it looks nothing like any other pics.

Also, the car unfortunately needs taking to an auto electrician. I fucked around for hours yesterday and literally didn’t get anywhere. I’m having to trailer the car there as he won’t come out to it (not due to Covid, just because he doesn’t do call outs but he’s only 3 miles away!) total ball ache for probably around half an hours work for him. Fed uP with this stupid fan issue too so I’ll get him to sort that aswell but I feel it’s the relay.

The car is back up and running. Was a faulty immobiliser unit. Randomly, the auto electrician had a spare from when he used to fit them years ago. Now i can crack on with bleeding the cooling system and rebuilding the rear calipers.

Great news mate progress, I've an old toad alarm that's been on since new, had a issue on different car where the cobra alarm played havoc with the immobiliser 

[Pikey009]

The colour is growing on me

It's a class looking colour bud 

[Pikey009]

Thanks for the comments 😂

Fan issue is now sorted, a good friend of mine sent me a pic of his bridged connector and exactly where it's found. The confusion was that my connector is completely different to his so I was looking for something that wasn't there. I'll post up more detail and pics on the fan issue thread i started. This means it's time for me to rebuild the braking system.

[Pikey009]

Swapped the washer bottle out with another one as the original had almost corroded through

[Pikey009]

Got hold of a Glanza expansion bottle. Have it a clean up and then filled it with bleach overnight. Not perfect but happy with the results.

I just need to make a bracket to mount it and that’ll be the bay tidied a little more.

Came out well enough bud

[burty]

Always a top job mate nice and thorough makes the difference 

[Pikey009]

Slow progress I’m afraid due to work but the rear callipers have now been stripped and rebuilt. Got hold of some metal so ill

be fabricating the new header tank bracket next.

The big question jase... Was it in the way 

[Pikey009]

Knew I shouldn’t have left it there. Answer is no I’m the line manager 🤣

[Dale SR]

Great work on this Jase and brilliant attention to detail. I really like the colour. Coming together nicely.

[Pikey009]

Thanks very much, sometimes I think I’m too anal for my own good though
