Think it's an amazon job but seems to fit fine. 

Copied @Vass and got one of these air scoops.

Was logging a trip I had done previously to compare intake temps but got side tracked by one of the 02 sensors reading higher than the other?

Is this normal? 

Also got a final stage resistor as my fan pulses sometimes when its cranked up, but man it's a pain to install. I aborted the first try as i couldnt locate the top screw and ran out of time. Will try again tonight.

Gave this final stage resistor another shot. Think I need a neck massage now. Got it done though. 

Old one dated 02 was quite different to the new one and it was a bit of a mission to get the new one in. So much so i was double checking part numbers to make sure this was the correct one.

This is the top screw that is perpendicular to the steering column requiring (in my case) a cut down T20 driver

Also replaced the rear glass switch and put the fuse back in. So far it's been behaving but I'm not holding my breath.

glad to say no more pulsing for the HVAC. 
Over the hill this weekend getting filthy. I’ve taken out the exhaust flap switch as it wasn’t working and the car was a bit loud for my liking at the lower revs. Iv plugged the vac lines together and now the butterfly is closed shut. Have ordered a new switch but in the meantime it’s nice having it a bit quieter. I’m not sure when it failed but I felt it was louder than usual ages ago but didn’t realise there’s actually a solenoid that operates the exhaust flap, not just vacuum.

Post gravel road wash I clay’d the entire car and applied a ceramic coating. A mate had sent me the last of a bottle of this hydro G9 to try out.

Looking forward to seeing how this performs over winter.
