Think I've got a varta e44 from euro cp when on offer. Re the battery location change. If you've not done it yet I got all the bits off a scrapped 5 series tourer. It has a part under the bonnet you can connect the existing + lead to which also has a jump start point on it. Then run the rest of the cable to the rear job done.

Thanks for the offer but ordered all the parts now. Similar setup as you mention with a breaker near the battery and a cut off switch for the dash.Originally posted by simon20vq View Post

It's actually matte military NATO green. Bought a 5ltr pot off eBay for £36 and should be enough for two coats.Originally posted by Filip_FIN View Post

Well I have bought the Bosch S5 battery in the end with 25mm2 cable.
Can someone tell me what size circuit breaker I should buy to install next to the battery?Comment

Should I be concerned about this rust I've found in the spare wheel area?

I'd give that a DGI.

Finished installing the battery, circuit breaker, cutoff and junction box today. Pretty pleased so far. Just needs the cable tiding up a bit and locate the cut off switch on the dash.
I have 12v showing on the dial 😁
Remover the spark plug and turned the key for the first time in over 3 years and the engine turned over without a issue.
Popped the plugs back in and shut my eyes as I tried to start it. Surprise surprise it didn't fire up. [emoji20]
Hope it's a fuel issue as the lines have been disconnected for ages. I'm 99% sure I had less than 1/4 tank but when I looked at the gauge it's saying over 3/4!!!! Either I have a fuel fairy or something isn't right.
I have removed the Cobra alarm too but fairly sure that I connected the wires back up correctly.
Also got another coat of paint on whilst the sun is out and trial fitted the front end to see how it looks. Fairly pleased so far.

I might be being thick but have you mounted it next to the fuel tank?Comment

Yeah in the space between the bumper and tank. Not fixed there yet though.

Plus it cost me £35 for five Ltrs. If it gets scratched or chipped just get the roller out. LolOriginally posted by LHD_Kid View PostI think it looks pretty cool in that colour...

Pulled the fuel pump relay apart and added a LED as per s2central's handy little thread. When turning over the engine on the key it lights up!
Only issue now is that the fuel pump isn't getting power so need to trace the wire to see were it's broken.
I put power to the pump to make sure it was working and then started the car. She fired up straight away and idled nicely
I disconnected the temporary power to the pump and it continued to run until it ran out of fuel. So I am guessing that the issue is the power feed to the pump for the relay. Probably something to do with how I reconnected the wires after I removed the alarm. Dash out again at the weekend to see what I can find.
Does anyone know what colour wire I should be looking for?
