steam from passengers side near battery
These are the new turbo water feeds for a plenum bypass , all come off the water pipes at the rear of the engine that feed the matrix . These are the feeds that normally go under the plenum through the throttle bodies and snake their way down to the tubs :nono: The metal pipe on the right side above the turbo is the only original pipe you leave on but this has a small section of rubber tubing connecting it to the turbo , this will need replacing just to be on the safe side . It all can be done with the engine in place , on the N/S you,ll have to take the battery out and remove the hard pipe coming off the turbo to gain access. On the O/S just need to remove the hard pipe off the turbo and be prepared to cut your hands :smash: It,s done with 6mm silicon pipe from Smithy,s HTH

Oil Temp Sender?
I had the in line one fitted for a while but caused problems as the top rubber water pipe has different diameters at each end, when you cut a section out to fit the inline adapter it,s a snug fit one end but a very loose fit the other meaning you have to try and squeeze the gap shut using a jubilee , but you end up doing them so tight they can cut into the rubber pipe and cause a failure :nono: Lucky for me i was only round the corner from the Z Centre when it failed :dance:

can i have pics of ferrari lights
I bought 2 red tail lamps ( these have the correct twin filliament bulb fitting ) and 6 reverse lights but fitted 2 clear lenses instead of the red ones and used coloured bulbs , brake lights were bright but the the side lights were too dim ( being only 5 watt ) so i fitted a ring of red LED,s inside the light to act as tail light . The panel and lights were from the ZCentre :bow: You can see the LED,S here : N/S inner light is a reverse light and O/S is fog again using a red tail lamp bulb but lighting the brake filliament so it,s nice and bright and obviously outer ones are indicators using amber bulbs :dance: HTH

still don't work
The original pipes they were on were replaced with some of Smithy,s stainless pipes , a mates an engineer and machined some flanges , cut holes in the stainless pipes and welded in the mounting flanges :dance: BLING Here,s a piccy of the original pipes As far as i know dump valves can be mounted on either of the pipes ( one to throttle body or one from the turbo to the intercooler) I,m sure someone will correct me if i,m wrong :dance: HTH

vibrating problem
Sounds like your prop shaft centre bearing , loosens up after a bit of use hence gets a bit better when being driven or sometimes the rear gearbox mounting rubber can cause a vibration cos it, gone hard with age :x: Hope you get it sorted bud .
