Thanks mate!
So the new mission was to rewire the Knock sensor as the plug was totally missing. - Check.
Tried to get the knock sensor off but it was seized and the hex part was spinning inside the housing.. after a few hours of swearing.. I admitted defeat and called a mobile mechanic to do it whist I was at work.
Supposedly heating, a cold chisel and vise grips were required.. Hate to pay someone but if it can save me hours of messing around and getting pissed off, I dont mind so much.
Now that mission is over- I have to save up for my rear swaybar and nolathane bushes.. Might be a skint Xmas...

So the next mission was to replace the alternator...
Was going to recon mine but it looked rubbish- so I bought a new genuine unit and a billet fan and pulley to give it a better look...
Its so clean and shiny, seems a shame to put it to use haha

Been thinking of buying the fibreglass VT style engine covers.. I like the rounded look.. Plus I will fill Holden symbol and put a round HSV badge on it and maybe the 215 badges on the side.. (maybe) hmmmm

I had the VT style fibreglass covers. Were horrible and cheap looking.

Was thinking about the alloy option but I hate it being 3 piece plus I heard the cover over the throttle body doesnt line up properly?? Main reason is im not trying to make it look like a VT motor but rather more custom.. and I cant find any here in NZ let alone any for a decent price on Ebay!
