So problem child is leaking water somewhere, I think I am just going to get a genuine stat housing and crossover pipe and swap them out as I cannot trace it. Track day booked in at Aintree in a month so best get this sorted! Oh and original wheels have gone off for a refurb, hopefully back next week
Also just been faffing about with NCS Expert to sort the seats. Could code the VO fine, but when writing the IHK module the controls wouldn't activate. Long story short i found doing an ECU reset on the KOMBI ecu from Bimmercode has enabled the heated seats, result! on the hottest day of the year I can have an extra hot arse!! ![furious](/inc/images/furious.gif)

Had the original alloys refurbished, in 2 minds on the colour at the moment, picture has lightened them but they are a matt bronze, will get them fitted tomorrow and see.......

I like those. Makes a change from the standard black or silver. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51343681414_b9821c93b0_b.jpg)

I found this in someone's notes for adding heated seats: edit actually iis the same as already written on page 14
Add all the hardware, then afterwards add $494 to the VO (CAS and FRM), and then default FRM, CAS, SPEG and IHKA
