Been a good thread to follow, Daz is such a nice guy, glad it's all come together.
I assume it's done, or almost done now?
Late plate MV6 with 3.0 engine and manual  it is a good creation!
And I'd like to thank Daz, he did me a huge favour buying it from me in the first place and has given me phone updates...which I really appreciated, it was really good to see it come along from being a dead 2.6 to a strong 3.0 now 

I have the scratches too sort out which are booked in for when I get back from our hols Then a new windscreen through the insurance me thinks
Obi is now legal on the road and I hae done about 150 miles in it up to yet... It goes really well pulls excellent in 5th too from low revs upwards...
Annoyed that my Rick Astley CD's wont play but The Boy will sort that for me in a week or so  after a Brackley cuppa tea

What happened to the screen?
If you're over Brackely way, it's only a 15/20 min drive for me...I'd happily pop over and catch up with you?
Is the CCR 2006 not working? I used it for about 15 minutes, I played Pachebel Canon and Chaconne in F minor and it worked ok for me? Maybe it doesn't like Rick Astley? 

Hoping to Visit The Boy on 31st May don't think I have told him yet
The head unit is jumping its nuts off I nearly stuck my foot in it but my Rick CD was in there 
Josh son know wonder the bloody thing is shafted playing that garbage Listen to some proper music, proper music ah say
I will have a word with Mr. Blobby (don't want to see him really Mrs The Biy is far nicer  )and see what he has to say  then make some arrangements

  that did make me laugh.
I promise I do listen to good music aswell, currently got Genesis, Rolling Stones, The Who, Mixed CD, Led Zeppelin and Mixed Classical CD

Just out of Curiosity, what did they sing?

After all this work I have done I drove it on the road the other day but was disappointed... it seemed a little flat. So I checked the multi rams etc etc then although knowing the Cambelt Timing was spot on I checked it to find it still cock on.
This morning got Obi insured and taxed and noticed there was a light on the dash "A car with a spanner in it" got home stuck my computer on it and found a Knock Sensor Fault. I personally have never seen a Knock Sensor fault until today. I gave "The Master DTM" a ring who said check the Knock sensor wire is still ok after you may have caught it fitting the engine etc....so checked from the top could not see any breaks etc... jacked Obi up and got my hand in like "James Herriot " to find the Knock sensor loose from the Block..... so either I have left it loose when I changed it or it has worked loose but tightened it up, cleared the code, then went for a spin it is now running how it should

So I then popped my "Rick Astley" cd in for the bloody head unit to keep jumping 

So a few thanks needed here

1. The Master for your Guidance when the Force was not Clear

2. The Boy for his help with a new head unit & getting Rick Astley playing full bore again 

3. Last but not least, Josh Wyatt for selling me Obi, as none of this would have happened without his Generous Ways 


The finishing touches i.e a few scratches will be sorted in a couple of weeks time then Obi's Saga will come to an end.

Hope you have enjoyed this all as much as me

What about the fat bloke who turned up and got his clean best shirt dirty fittin the exhaust?
