streight from the battery mate, i thought it was best to get the best reading, so i wired it in parallel with a switch so i can turn it off an on, i used to play with electronics so i had the wire/inline fuse holder/switch and plastic surround i made myself, i just needed the meter itself, and £3.89 on ebay sorted that :thumbsup:

Right people ordered the Central locking system, which looked a little daunting to say the least when i opened it up :( however a few instruction books later, all was clear and i got cracked on :)

So here's the pics so far, i did more, but by the time i got pics, it was dark, so ill take some more tomorrow :)

Messy Wireage :)

hey guys sorry i have'nt replied sooner...

The central locking kit i bought is remote, there is alot of wires involved, to be honest, if you are going to get central locking, just get remote, its not that much more expensave, and its remote.

The worst bit about the central locking is getting the motors and rods lined up perfect so it opens and locks, the lupo's are weird, they (or mine didnt) go up and down, more left/right, so it was abit of a pain :(

sidelights were cheeper than first thought, i got mine here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Bright-Xenon-White-Sidelight-LED-Bulbs-Replacement-Capless-W5W-501-147-12v-/130610484498?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ALupo&hash=item1e68fdd512

Ill take more pics today, im just off out now to fit the rest of the central locking :) Also De-gingered my indicators :

Just a quick one people, ive mounted the box under my heater controls, the problem ive got is wiring in the hazard lights, would it be possible to wire the 2 brown wires straight to the hazard switch (as a piggy back) or does it have to go to the indicator stalk?

Can you post a link to where you bought your central locking kit from please (also is it central locking with remote feature? a lot of adds say remove central locking but you must have standard central locking.. sorry to be confusing) :P

I bought one of these the other day, had it fitted within a couple of hours. The hardest bit is having to get all the plastics out the way so you can put it in, except for that its a piece of cake (I have a lot of experience with car looms though) Its probably easier if you don't have central locking as standard because then all you have to do it connect a 12v and earth feed and your done.
