Erm..............started her up this afternoon after fitting the induction hoses and the ******* rattle is back! I am somewhat pissed off, but I shall be removing the VIS valve and have a waggle of the actuator arm to see if there is anything untoward.
Oh well, looks like I'll have to get my **** together and get that plenum assembly sorted!

Bank balance, well that's never happy  .................however, the hoses and breather only cost £28, shiftlight was £39 and the newly powder coated rims didn't cost me a penny

******* hell bud!!!!! I am sorry  I seem to have done a Murray Walker and cursed it! 
Apologies bud! 
You sure it is not the purge valve clacking up and down like a *******??? Unplug it and see if it stops.........hopefully the noise will cease and you find it is one hell of a noisey purge valve same as mine. My car sounds very noisey and that is with a brand new plenum......all because of the purge valve.

Defo not the purge valve, that was evident on the first start up last weekend, I unplugged it and all was quiet, this is something more worrying!

Why's that Fez?
The company that did mine actually supply alot of parts for my machine building, so did it as a thankyou. They are very good at what they do and take pride in their work.

mine are faking, damaged and really a right mess. I need to look around but the problem is I need my car and can't do without it.
I have been looking for some stop gap wheels but I the last couple of months have been fairly costly. So I have stopped looking for a while.

Further to my posting on the horrid rattle. Just removed the VIS unit and tested the arm, the arm is fine. On taking the pcb out and putting an eye glass to it I find something.................one of the v3 switch legs had broken away. Not obvious at first as it was such a clean break, so requires a little solder and all's well
