Tiny Steps forward

OK, think we (well Tim) has worked out the wiring of the speed trasnducer, there is no loom connection as such the wire that it comes with just goes all the way back through the scuttle on to the speedo (doh!).

Also have successfully converted the lambda sensor connector block to the little AMP connector that fits the loom. We have not found any crimping mechanism that is satisfactory, though that is obviously what the connectors are meant for, but if, like us, you solder, then you need to be very careful not to fill in the little well just before the blade of the connector as this locates the plastic lock device inside the connector body, and if it's full of solder you this mechanism won't work.

Spent a fruitless half an hour searching and re-searching the remaining bits for the lower steering column support bracket, only to find that ours does not have one, as a single piece unlike that shown in the manual I guess it doesn't need one.

That said have failed to get the lower steering column to fit on the splines at each end despite loosening the steering rack.
