gonna spend the rest of the afternoon seeing if I can find a mod for it as it seems really badly designed, or at the least really cheap!!!

Turn the Connector around the other way then it cant pop out...

I saw some of these on eBay when looking at the chequered/union badges.

Yes, I've seen on Ebay aswell but I don't fancy spending 11 quid for one (S/H), sorry.

Finally got round to finishing up the power/audio for the sub in the boot.
I installed a double cigarette connector (rated up to 20a, same as my amp) and got an improved plug for it (rated up to 30a). The audio is connected via the XLR connectors (left and right).

The box in the pictures looks better than what I have fitted. I've just got a c-shaped steel plate that holds the cables and the block catches on the bolt heads. Is this a standard and a bodge? It didn't seem right to me, and seeing those boxes I think confirms it. Thanks for the help mango man and suzublu. First thing I did was turn the block round tape the cables in and cable tie everything!!!

Went to Olney to get the 160 remap (after a bit of fiddling on Phil's part) and message centre fitted, with digital spedo

Washed and polished Banana ready for tomorrow's meet in Coventry.
Baby Banana now needs a new alternator.

Cleaned my wheels. I added a coat of wax and treated the tyres to some Autoglym viny and rubber care.

They still look excellent..
