Cleeeeeean. Wow I really need to sort mine out, not done the bay since forever.

Great stuff Tom, looking good

Look at the front of the gearbox for a 13mm bolt and thick cable. That's the earth strap. Remove it all and check it for breaks. and yup the AFM is the MAF, give that a spray with contact cleaner.

Fresh

I imagine the inside might rub on the strut and/or wishbone at full lock. 8J ET20 is a good fit, and this is what your fitment comes in at...

I've heard some of the cheaper dongles can be temperamental. Try the dongle in another car that you know should work in just ot make sure :)
