Those wires are the two aerials that connect to the original headunit.  Your new headunit should have come with an adapter to fit one of those into it.  You can also get twin adapters too.

Google twin fakra antenna adapter or single fakra antenna adapter.

A minor update, got myself a second hand engine cover, saves cutting mine up. It looks so much better already although I do need to swap the badge over, plus I'm thinking of giving it a lick of paint, possibly some wrap. Anyways here it is:



Also gave the car a good clean yesterday before the rain started and couldn't resist a picture out in the countryside


Ive tried to make this ^^^ my sig pic but it doesn't work, any ideas?

So I had a problem over the past few weeks, initially I thought it was some bad fuel but after running down and refilling with V power nothing changed. So my car was hunting at idle and struggling when in the lower rev range. After a diagnostics scan multiple faults came up including misfires.

Changed the plugs:


They cost a few quid

Then came a new revision G DV:



I got a second opinion from Colin Gunning's in Hertford, they immediately knew and told me to change the PCV, which had been my initial thought:

So as you can see from the above I got a bit done and thankfully the new PCV solved the issue

Looking good! Like the window switch touch. My PCV also gave me the same problem, really simple fix!
