UniPol Etch and Raptor 50psi at shoots gun. Pics are straught after first coat application, so glossy, will dry matt / satin. I almost forgot how stinky it its until i took my mask off lol! 
love working with Raptor, easy to apply and like the finish, i specifically want rough texture, soo i will be doing the truck, gun metal tintable raptor with the black checquer plate, this is just a tart up, bonnet is gonna get it soon anyway so for now it all gooda ! and decided to just buy a new bumper and raptor that, much less hassle than trying to rub down my rusty one.

FFS Throttle Potentiometer fix.
Did not knwo this was a TD5 common 'thing', anyway flats spots on throttle then lost throttle, MIL light on but engine running.
All points to wire chaffing somewhere, so considering i have the attention span of a kitten on cocaine, so dont play nicely with broken wire tracing,
I decided to just knock up my own jump loom, after mucheos researcheos seems the thing to do. not keen on chomping the ecu wires, so decided to make it a full clean install and orginal wiring left intact just disconnected, so reversable if one day i decide to trace the brake.
So crimped on ecu females to the jump wire and switched them out ont he Black ECU plug.
Cue A team music, roll ups, john smiths, and my best 'leave me alone' look to the dogs and mrs I set to it.
Test drive all good, much betterer no more flat spots and having to drive home on tick over.
