Bit of a small update. Still rolling around with odd injectors but has behaved on them.
The stud that was made at work surprise surprise snapped. Ended up banging a torx down the inside to extract the stud which came out alright.
Cleared the hole with an m10 tap again and thread seemed perfectly fine so jumped on my own suggestion of the vw step sted.

Been fitted just over a week now and been pushing the car to its limits to try get it to pop the stud but appears to finally be a nice strong solution to what sounds like a reasonably common issue.

Got the mocal thermostatic cooler plumbed up now but not driven it yet. Decided to go for a stubby renualt filter as i thought i would have clearance issues with the rad... well i was wrong [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
im gonna run it for 4/5k then go back to the standard filter. Dumped new oil in her tho it was only less then 1k old because whats the point in re-using old oil? Hopefully flushed some of the deposits out of her.

Decided to finally do the belt again after a neighbour complained about the "dead cat" under my bonnet.. still had more life in it yet in my eyes [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

Tended to the rust i unearther when i moved the ecu. Slapped some krust on it and a coat of primer and went nuts. Far from perfect in my eyes but its as good as its gonna get without pulling the engine out to do it all
correctly

Got a similar scenario on the drivers side tho seems very minor in comparison. Still a few more cans and that side will be touched up to.

Any of you eagle eyed folk may have noticed ive added more of the contersunk bolts on the grille and cover too. Decided to ditch the spikes on the cover for a little bit of uniformity as im running the counter sinks in as many visual places as i can
