    yeah you need to modify the mk4 pump sender before it will work on mk1/2/3 dash otherwise it reads backwards, if you've done that check you have an earth to G1/5 as depending on where you got the rear wiring loom from it can supply earth to the sender. to test this short the middle pins on pump plug and gauge should go to full. if not, short the purple/black to the thicker brown main pump earth see if that does anything

    Thanks RJ
    Good timing - I ran out of fuel at the weekend!
    I will take the pump out soon and do some checks

    Finally finished rebuilding my BBS RMs and fitting them at the weekend.

    Barrels have been powder coated chrome, new aluminium lips 1.5” front and 2” rear, new polished bolts, new genuine BBS valves, centres cleaned up and sealed with black RTV. Applied some Poorboys sealant and hopefully that's it for now...

    Photos don’t do them justice really, they look stunning in the flesh

    Last year I got hold of some G60 calipers and carriers and had Bigg Red rebuild and powder coat them. Sort of forgot about them over the winter but came across them in their box a few weeks back so ordered some EBC discs and red stuff pads and some red HEL lines.

    This was the last job I can remember where everything went as it should! No seized or snapped bolts etc. Took less than 1 hour each side! Bled the brakes with some fresh fluid and went for spin. The pads bedding in quick and I am very impressed with the stopping power.

    Plus they look great!

    I have managed to get to a few shows this year and none better than Bug Jam at Santa Pod. Unbelieve amount of quality vans/cars!

    Cheers all

    Single skin panel not fit for jacking imho too. I haven't put the dimples on after replacing my corner panels as there's no support above.

    On topic that's a lovely Mk2!.
