Re: Brake pedal adjustment
Ive got a picture somewhere of the adjuster, I will dig it out later and post it. If you get it too cose on clearance you might find the brakes start binding slightly after a short drive but you just need to back the clearance off very slightly if that happens. Watch this space.

Re: Potential Buyer Looking for Advice Please
One of the slight issues Ive had with my injection setup has been 'noise' through the wiring causing fault codes and even cutting out, it is a pain to deal with and twisted wires and rfi sleeves does seem to be the cure.
