Who can guess the engine bay changes?

Battery moved to boot (or under rear seat)

Edit, duh, it never was under the bonnet as it's LHD

More details please?

I'll put up some details at the weekend - just took me 40 hrs to drive home because of terrible border controls... need to sleep first

Some other bits:

Billet throttle pulley (which was a right nightmare to get to fit and work properly...)
Removed carbon canister
Conversion to ABY windscreen/headlight washer reservoir - this allows removal of the 3B separate headlight washer reservoir, freeing up more space
Relocation of cruise control pump and fitting of ABY cruise control diaphragm mount

Removal of ps fluid reservoir (as well as the hydraulic pump) during the electric ps conversion

Considering how much has been removed (as well as the battery already being under the rear seat....) There is still not much free space. An added bonus of the ps pump removal is access. The 2 hoses, thermostat and sensors on the block can be reached really easily...

Finally engine bay finished...

Just need to strip out a few bits... again... for the new downpipe...
