Due to a couple of seemingly very keen no-shows & then me being away over the holiday period, this is still looking for a new home, and I'd quite like my drive back!

Any ideas gents? I've just installed an amp for my front speakers and after taking my foot off the accelerator the engine seemed to make a weird noise. Loose heat shield?

Hi,
After installing a new gear box (involving dismounting the engine) I have now noticed an instrument in the side of the engine next to the dip stick. There is a clear electrical connection point but no wire connected to it. (see attached photo's)
