Takes a little getting used to, hitting standing water at speed is an interesting experience.
refitting is todays task aslong as the rain holds off

Can you give me a link to these bits please? The only bits I can't find to fit the lines.
I've got everything else, just can't see how to connect to the hardlines properly. It may end up in a epic bodge otherwise haha

"cut and paste"
Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing (ATB) limited slip differential.
Quaife (ATB) limited slip differential automatically biases the torque across the axle to the wheel with the most grip. Unwanted wheelspin and slip are greatly reduced, resulting in less understeer on front wheel drive machine,
the Quaife ATB limited slip differential also delivers significant performance benefits during heavy braking. In this situation the Quaife differential’s inherent torque transfer characteristics work in reverse to transfer torque away from the locking wheel. This enhances deceleration, delaying the intrusion of electronic ABS systems and allowing drivers to brake later and deepe

Now, switch in a spare cluster of clocks... Wait until a month before the next MOT and put the originals back in...

Me neither.
It will get jetwashed and a bucket of soap, maybe, before I make my way. It usually rains on route anyway.

I wished it didnt!
pulled 5th to the limit then changed to 6th powered fine then lifted off gas and the car snaked!
I didnt like that 
more power or a trail of brakes settled it though
