The wheel may have been replaced with the more modern one that you got with the car, and they took all the wiring out then.

As long as the car gets you to where you want to go and back, the rest is fettling and tinkering 
Are you putting up a project thread? I'm keen to see what you've got  |
You're right Ben and I always print off the MOT history for myself, most times before buying the car, but this time, with the last MOT certificate not available, I could only print the history minus the last MOT . Until I get the V5 back with its document reference number, that information is not available. The V5C/2 which came with the car turned out to be from a previous V5...all very strange, but until the car and its paperwork arrived, something one could not have foreseen.
The car runs very well but am struggling to find a reason why the water temp gauge is not working . Have replaced the sender at the O/S rear of the engine, but with no improvement. I'm not too sure the fan is running when it should either.
Someone has done a lot of "fiddling " with the car and I'll just try and get it back to the way it was originally. S2 badge, and obvious marks on boot and front grille where other badges have been attached, the superior steering wheel plus a DAB radio which I disliked straight away. 17" alloys with excellent tyres, but I'm after a set of Craigs wagon wheels
All in all the car is quite good , and perhaps I'm just too fussy, but the lack of engine coolant temperature is something I can't live with.....
As for a thread, I don't think the car is really that interesting to justify anything like that but just wait for the next car that's supposed to arrive next Wednesday....
here's your taster!!!
