tofferson so a week back I took cluster out to change bulbs, when I put them back in batt light didn't work and alternator did not charge. I tested the switch on wire this was fine and so we're all fuses also when ignition was on there was a buzzing coming from steering pump getting louder. I thought it was the cluster due to me messing with it but when I put a live to alternator I was still getting no output from it so I just bought a new alternator to try . New alternator
tofferson Ok so got my block back today after a bore, hone and fine skim. The Pistons, rods, crank and flywheel have also been balanced.
Dave_Gilbert The steering wheel n centre consol look propper nice aswell. interested in how to do the steering wheel. would it make a worn wheel look new ? Mines quite worn on the top.
tofferson Dave Gilbert said: Do you want to do my back arches, rear chrome strip, vxr spoiler n eyebrows? Nice job. Where abouts are you from, I've just got a new chrome strip was thinking about getting it wrapped in carbon.
tofferson I used leather dye, on it mine was all worn and faded on top before I dyed it, I used white first to help blue cover then I used a leather lacquer. Always liked the gsi steering wheels but they are so expensive and I don't think they did them in blue.
Dave_Gilbert Im in chesterfield. N no i dont think they did do a blue 1. Looks really really nice n suits the car perfect. a carbon wrapped chrome strip would look good on a dark car like yours but i dont like them on a silver car(makes them look like a LS or a mk4 astra with the black door handles n trim to me)

tofferson Sjdickso said: Looks really good, what kit did you use to dye the steering wheel? I used leather dye, my boss at work does interiors and re dyes soft tops etc. so he told me how to go on with it and the leather dye is also fine on vinyl
Dave_Gilbert tofferson said: Your not a million miles from me then I'm York area, I no what you mean about the black it doesn't go with all colours al get some pics of what i need doing n see what its gonna cost me. is that what you do then?
