Thanks for the heads up, Mr Wobbles, Jimbo or Smithy will be along any time some with some alternative advice no doubt, but still got to find a supplier for the OEM wiring connectors

Update
Got fed up with the 'supermarket trolley' handling characteristics of late and haven't liked the front end ride height since fitting the V70r front springs and struts. Also nasty knock is regularly coming from the front end, so time to strip out the struts, check bushes and mountings and fit the old t5-r spring to the v70r struts. The bushes are all fine ( but will polybush the lower arms soon ) and drop link are also still good. Whilst manipulating the anti-roll bar from the passenger side, I found the knock, the drivers side anti-roll bar mounting looked to have broke its back fixing bolt, damn I thought, as this will be hard to extract without dropping the sub-frame. I finished off working on the passenger side and whipped the wheel back off the drivers side, as I'd already done this side, I started to investigate the broken bolt to discover no broken bolt, but the mounting has ripped out of the sub-frame by cracking all the way around underneath it. So looks like a sub-frame swap is now on the cards

Makes a nice improvement to the lighting these kits
MoleT-5R (Sunday 2nd March 2014)
Not really the day I planned today, started stripping bits of to give the gearbox a good clean and ready it for fitting, but in the process I snapped an engine mounting bolt
So some heating, wd-40, a good stud extractor were required and some patience as had to get it out with out damaging the thread. The Stanley Proto extractors are excellent and wish I'd discovered them years ago
Also goto the heater matrix changed as well today, got one off the bay £22.50 plus the postage
not the nicest of places to work, but no way as bad a job as I had been lead to believe

This arrived today ( thanks Pete ), so I couldn't resist fitting it
and as the weather was good today I decided to do a dummy run on subframe removal before doing the T-5R, obviously the T-5R will have to be a lot higher as the engine and box will still be in the subframe, all seams simple enough and the dolly makes light work of rolling it out when disconnected, steering joint looks like it could be a pain when the engine is in the way, but I sure I'll manage
Also stripped the V70 of the rest of Claymore's new front end eg. bumper, wings and readied the bonnet for popping off, for when I'm next going over to Shrewsbury
