Thanks for the help an suggestions all! Am super happy I got a low Kay car... Its lowest Kms of all the cars in my house bar the brand new one!
The wiring in these things seems to be so cobbled together... And just stuff added all over the joint, with hardware changes that are undocumented... Seems a bit of a mess but I should be able to work through it (this is coming from a Renault owner!!!)

The car doesn't need too much... The few bits and pieces I've got below.. as well as brakes (warped rotors) and power steering lines.. they're loose at the metal to hose part so I think they're junk. Has new tyres though!

1)Okay so I have all the items to test the switch, so shouldn't be too difficult to see where it's failing? Should I clean the switch?

2)Radio works. Was a dead fuse, and the aerial works too now! Cheers all.

Also... I tried removing the stereo... but I cannot for the life of me get the steering column shroud off. There are two screws or something so far down with like torx or something on them and I can't get it off. And I am not overly keen on pulling the dash trim off either with it in place, it's 22 yo now and feels like it's gonna break...

3) should I just replace both the crank angle and cam angle sensors at this age? Crank angle seems a bit of a bastard to get to but can is easy..

4) general consensus is the engine mount will take a fair whack of time..
Is this the correct part?

5)I have purchased the following today-
Plugs
Leads
Dizzy cap and rotor
Air filter
Fuel filter
Hopefully they make a difference. Anything else anyone would suggest?

Changing to OBD-2 on one of these would be a big pain in the ass wouldn't it? Like whole loom and all that?

6) Cheers, will run 12v to them. The connectors look completely different. Maybe I was doing it incorrectly... I'll have another crack.


Also. My oil pressure sensor isn't working (it pegs right up to as high as possible lol) apparently the last owner replaced it with a refresh model one. What would I be looking for here?


Also I'll drop a pic of the car as pictures make everyone happy! Thanks for the help! Can't wait to have it on the road!!
