OV9

That's probably my favourite ever clip from Shooting Stars

oh, and:

Ace

Great stuff!

Although, minor detail. The '89 Rover 200 (R8) became the 1995 Rover 200 (R3) which became the Rover 25 in '99. The R3 had the front end of the R8, but the back (suspension) from a modified Maestro setup. So if you cut the back of '8' you get '3'. Clever huh?

Need to rewatch this today. Fell asleep half way through it last night

Anyone else wince when they put the live cable through a sharp edged metal hole without a grommet?

Awesome as usual though. The working loom all wired up on the floor was particularly satisfying.

Massively - but there's no way they will have that as the final fix. I live in hope

I always wondered how you tested a loom - it seems so obvious now

Loved the fabrication of the fuse box carrier

I was waiting for them to put the grommet on, but it wasn't live so it didn't matter.

Experience tells me that despite the fact they tie wrapped it into position it'll be in and out again at least 30 times before they're done.

Childish I know, but the comedy timing around Nick having 'the horn' (parp!) tickled me greatly.

I like that multi-plug disassembly tool that they have. I need one of those!

And the confusion around putting the negative cable on the cut-off switch?

Ive got one of them. Needed it to fit the hifi upgrade on the Golf.

Where did you get it Scott? Need something similar for the quadlock connector on the Fjord.

It’s not about boring. You’re both old duffers now.

I have no argument to present.

Electrons move from -ve to +ve. Don’t confuse it with conventional current flow.

Yes, but if you have a running engine and kill the negative then nothing will happen as the running engine will 'ground' the rest of the car anyway...
