yeah its 700 tuition fees 155 materials and rest is exam fees its a nvq and this is my second level and im dreadingly going to hopefully go back to for a level 3 which again is going to cost me more. i though exactly the same they wonder why the unemplymet rate is so high its because no one is willing to take on people without the qualifications and to get the qualification you have to pay thousands and how you going to afford to do that no one has sort of money lying around at this age its ridiculous thats why i didnt vote Cuntservatives but bloody Cameron and his Butt pirate Clegg got voted in

 

Rant over :D

 

well level 3 is what i have just got onto and thats how much it would have cost 4k so good look to that lmao pain in ass it is and yes i know exactly what you mean.

 

Anyway best get back on topic, updates coming in the morning :D

Came across a problem yesterday when i heard a rattle and my exhaust was hanging but the engineer did say i did need a new one and thats my exhaust rubber mount that snapped:

Luckily that is on order and i should hopefully have that soon :)

 

So i managed to get my dashboard sorted all wired up from ECU so i tested it out before i put it all backtogether and good news it worked :D

Soooo time for an update, don't worry I am still working on this, just short on funds until the end of this year due to saving up for insurance, tax, MOT etc...now i have passed my theory so just waiting for my driving test on 06th December. Also got holiday to pay for in June. But as I have said modding my car is still happening just at smaller steps here and there.

 

So anyway enough of the life story and forward with the update :)

 

So i managed to buy a cover off Ebay for £3 inc P+P
