    Add more grounding bud, hopefully that will end the dimming?

    Thanks everyone for the advice. Bought a cheap thermostat from aurobarn which should last at least the 3 days I need it to.

    The electronics are second on my list. I'll properly look into then when the new engine enters the scene... Along with the new 90A alternator.

    In all honesty, I just want her to make it to albury. Anything beyond that is a bonus and a blessing

    VITS was mint! Unfortunately I didn't take any pics at the show, but those who came know how sick it was anyway.

    Some friends and I decided to make a weekend of it and camped the night at the local caravan park.

    My little girl loaded to the brim!

    Had a grand old time and am definitely doing it all again next year

    Surprisingly, the car made it up and back without a hitch. It actually ran better than ever A little pickle

    Wonderful news... Nissan finally provided me with a company car, so no need to drive my little golf to work everyday A little pickle

    To those who can't read between the lines, that means that the golf will remained garaged for as long as possible, just in time for the engine transplant, interior refresh, many MANY new parts and possibly a new paint job... Many exciting things to come I can assure you

    Deadline is DOVW, if not GAD! Fingers crossed
