Re: Watercooled tinware?

It's a bit tricky taking photos of them without the van being lifted quite a bit unfortunately! Next time I am under it I will have a try. Unless anyone else has pics please?

Re: Hardwired Dash Mod

Thanks for your reply to my question. Some of it went over my head, but I understood most of it!:-) I quite like the idea of using a computer connector (Maplins).
