It's not VVC I'm afraid, but if you still want it I was going to list as a complete set on eBay with the alarm ecu and a key fob for £35 + p&p
£25 including postage to anyone on here (softly has first refusal of course!)

That is a really good price Tony, it should fly away, a fob is £40 on its own, good luck and no i dont need it thank you, but i thinks omeone on here might at that price.

Any luck with the ARB brackets yet?? not urgent but didnt want the skeleton to dissapear with them still on. Thank you.

Thanks Bryan it's the wheels that are giving me the problems still got to get them off, nut has rounded off on both fronts, do you know if using axel stands it would be possible to get your brackets without removing the wheels?

Hi Tony , yes you should be able to get them off with the wheels on, they are in line with the axle stands on this picture, not far in from the back of the bumper, which you have already got off, two 13mm bolts in each bracket.

if it is the normal wheel nuts that are giving problems, you can try hammering on a smaller socket which may give enough force to crush the thin stainless cover and grip the nut below, if it is the locking nuts and the key wont fit a simmilar trick may work, David A split his with a thin cold chisel.

Your paint code is Tahiti Blue.

Hi all thought I would give an update, as you all know the purpose of breaking the F was to raise some funds to buy another one, well yesterday I kind of did but I think I got the wrong model it doesn't feel as powerful as the last one.....
