im pretty good on the wiring front as i remade my whole loom. i think the wires your describing are the ones that go to the 'excess pedal travel' switch that...

Afternoon all :) I think I overtook a dark blue Spyder on the A12 Northbound this morning. Caught a glimpse under a tarp of what looked like skoda alloys....

Hello Nikhil. I have set a record in failing the SVA twice. First time with loads of minor stuff plus emmissions, I had a 1996 Felicia engine and at this date...
