S-Club Reserve Plan
Discussion
Well, as has been elluded to by others, I have taken a punt on a 'Reserve Plan' S3 for the S-Club Tour so that I can 'fit in' properly.
Overall, in good nick and solid.
Done a few little jobs but will set aside a weekend to go over it.
Seatbelt mod done. Punto clip stalks ordered and due to arrive.
Surrey roof fitted.
Micra wiper fitted on the passenger side. From this;
To this;
Bonnet needs some adjusting;
Throttle linkage needs straightening;

Went to the TVRCC Surrey meet on Thursday. Reserve ran well there, the tyres are very positive on the dry/damp mixed conditions.
Unfortunately, the rear lights refused to operate properly come home time. Ended up having the fogs on and using hand signals. Current diagnosis is the crappy Ford plugs are at fault, so will swap for narrow spade connectors (as I did on Samy).
Got a TT cabriolet third brake to fit as additional safety measure, again as per Samy.
Will speak with Racetech on Tuesday about a V8S hand brake cable. Assuming in stock the the brakes should be swapped out next weekend.

So, chopped off the crappy Ford light plugs. Then fitted narrow spade connectors along with some heatshrink.
Didn't totally sort the problem. Helped though. Reverse lights plus brake lights aren't working. The indicators and fogs are now working constantly.
Extended the wiring up to serve the third brake light.
I have all Wednesday to work on it whilst the shutters are being serviced and fixed.

Spent the day on the cars whilst the shutters were serviced and repaired.
Swapped the seats out of Suni - found €8 - into to Tamy - found £3 - so that I can investegate Suni's intermittent dash and get Tamy's seats repaired.
The onto the Reserve S.
Fixed the intermittent side repeater by putting a proper connector on.
