Removed crappy looking traffic master smartnav thingy from the dash, and all its sensors that were stuck all over the car... Dash looks much better and no blue glow in your eyes whilst driving ++! Also got very scared after discovering lots of shonky wiring, black tape, and a male and female mp3 jack stuffed up under the dash?? Looks like something that was connected to the radio, but radio hasnt been tampered with, any ideas??

It appears to have no connection to the radio tho, there are two plugs in the back of the radio and both look original, what was throwing me was why is there a male and a female, connected together along with a bunch of two core wire and insulating tape, the insulating tape gave it away, was realy gash looking!

Fitted my new DS2500 pads - eventually got the correct ones sent.
Fitted new aero front wipers (after trimming down the passenger side)
Picked up new EGR inlet hose then removed the Allard delete pipe, refitted my cleaned EGR valve with new hose - had to revert back due to EML staying on and as mine is 55reg the light cannot be mapped out :(
Removed rocker cover pipe that routes into intake pipe and replaced with a bung, then routed a length of silicone hose from rocker cover down back of engine to atmosphere.

In a shed
Washed with my new Auto Glym pack of goodies. The Window polish is awesome. Didn't polish today as car looked super clean when I finished. Also cleaned inside bonnet area.
