After being given some duff info :devil:, where should these pipes with arrows be re-routed to after the plenum bypass? pretty please

After all my hard work of plenum off, water bypass, polish, chrome, fuse box and powersteering pot moved ect ect, It was time to put her back together and fire the baby up. BUT... after forgetting to tighten the water pump pulley and the belt flying off and a fuel leak with a split hose she fired up 2nd time!!!! whooooooo took her for a quick drive and there was water pissing everywhere:no: I think it was more than just 1 pipe on the bypass which needed re-routing!! It seems to be coming from 1 small metal pipe behind the engine? but I am sooo happy I`m nearly there, so a few more questions to ask in another thread and I`m back on the road in my vert again,…

Hi guys sorry another wheel thread. I've been waiting for my wheels since June and now they say they are in stock...but now I can't remember the offsets I wanted. Pton are useless and have lost the info. I was going to have to do some light arch work I'm sure the sizes were. Front ET25 9.5 245/40/18 Back ET35 265/35/18. Does that sound about right? I'm sure its similar to j1mmytt spec but I can't use the search menu using my mobile. Cheers dan
