Bought this 2.5 years ago from Scott Walkers – best car I’ve owned.  It hasn’t put a foot wrong, but since having another child I’m sadly making very little use of it.

Some may recognise this as the ‘Le Mans 2013 AA van’…

That has to be the worst chargecooler install ever.

It does seem pretty pointless when there's plenty of room in the engine bay (and it should be as low as possible!)...

It's not a thing of beauty is it, but the wiring is almost as interesting.

 

 

There is actually sufficient space inside the former fuse box (that has been tapped through) to mount the pump invisibly, on the GT3 there is only a vacuum servo in there.

Guys, thanks for the constructive comments towards the sale of my otherwise impeccable car - much appreciated...

 

Just to be clear, I was assured by Scott Walker when I bought the car that this sensible modification was both safe and perfectly functional, qualified also by Max at Lakeside.  Agree it's not the most aesthetically pleasing solution but performs it's purpose well, nonetheless.

 

Cheers,

Ben.
