I recently bought a facelift 3.0 Elite off another OOFer with the intention of breaking it.  This has had the dis-pack relocated next the the PAS reservoir, where it has been cable tied in place!!  :o

How's he got the chord stretched there Twig?  :-\

I haven't looked that closely to be honest, but there seems to be plenty of slack on all the leads.  I assume that they are non-standard leads...  :-\

At least when someone says they need a dis-pack, I won't have to spend an hour removing it, only to find it's knackered, hey Steve!  ::) ;D :-X

Hahahahaha cheers mate ;)

i can see how the HT leads would stretch cos my ones from eurocarparts are well long compared to the originals..... i'm thinking more of the diosspac connector  :-\

Plenty of room to fashion a shelf on the drivers side , just a case of replacing longer leads and power connection .

Not sure if that is the same car Rob.  Difficult to tell being that the one I have is covered in oil ::)  The dis-pack is certainly in that general area though.

That might adversely affect performance somewhat!  ;D

I relocated mine to just below the airbox - there's even a cutout in the box that looks made to measure.
I made up a small loom to extend the wiring without damaging the original wiring and knocked up a bracket out of some 1mm steel.
I did need to borrow a no.6 lead from the Carlton though, and that one has to run over the top of the engine but after 3 months I have had no problems.

Never understand why people bother going to all that fuss of relocating?  :-\

They last at least 10 years+, with the scuttle off they are fairly easy to change, just fiddly.
