Yeah, you can see the rusty orange bits at the edges! [emoji23]

Here you go, DS2500 that have rusted away according to Ferodo

Yeah I've read up something about a clamp you need to undo to get the steering column out. Something I can look further into. Ive not taken the plastics around the steering column off but that's something that I will look at doing tomorrow at some point. Whoever wired up the cobra alarm spliced into a hell of a lot of cables next to the fuse box so it wouldn't surprise me if they spliced into something else to. So when I put he key into the ignition, switch to on I get, oil light, battery light, I believe the coolant/temp light.. Also where the mileage should be I get IN 01 which I believe

Pmsl good excuse not to wash the car then !!!

How many keys do you have? I have one key on both my vrs that don't work with the key reader. Maybe you could try the other key if you've got 2. I'm wondering if this could be an ignition switch fault. My green vr has an issue where I have to physically push the key into the barrel whilst turning to start the car, if I don't turn the ignition that way, the car won't start.

Managed to plug the earth back into the earth tree. Still nothing happening, there is another plug that is just laying about down the back, number 3.. It then splits into this box shown below.. Could the non starting issue be something to do with the key reader around the ignition barrel? Checked earths in the bay and they seem to have oxidised. However I put a jump lead from battery to block to bypass the oxidised cables but still nothing. Is there anything else that is worth checking? Thanks, Jack.

I had DS2500's in my Golf, they lasted for less than 200 miles. Feared claimed it was all my fault for not bedding them in, once I proved I had bedded them in properly by way of in car video footage they then said the pads fell apart because I had washed the car too much and the metal content in the pads had rusted and made them fall apart! Complete tossers who do not stand by their product. That said I am now running DS3000's and they are great (I do not wash my car anymore incase the pads rust)

*UPDATE* Right so I spent an hour on the car this morning and managed to remove this.. After Removing the cobra alarm from the cables behind the fuse box I have managed to start the car twice! So there is definitely progress there. However I can't get it started again!! One cable I ant find where it should go to, it was just hanging loose behind the fuse box, any ideas what this could be? Also after removing all of the cables in the first picture, when the lights are turnt on, relay 36 is constantly buzzing. Could this just be a warning to the driver or is this a separate issue that will ne

ThanksJust getting quotes to get Bbs Rs 301s looking shiny n new!

It's already fitted mate jetex forgot to send me the fitting kit, the green vr has a full Remus exhaust fitted so the jetex system will be for sale
