Phil, do you have the emissions figures for when you had trouble with your MOT? Would be interesting to compare!
Speedo converter installed and everything back together, all working lovely and only had to solder 1 wire in the dash loom. Tactile difference to steering response, feels more planted. That might just be psychological though :lol:

2tongues John you missed off one tiny but annoying point: Chase Amplifier whine.
There's less of that these days, since I redid the power wiring for the amp board. Still some there but it doesn't rise with volume, it's at a constant level, so I just turn the music up
