No pics mate but:

Wiring loom
Stalk
ECU
Actuator with throttle cable and bracket
ECU bracket
Clutch switch and bracket (unless it's from an auto then there's a shorting link)
Green connector block on the back of the instrument cluster
Possibly the lower half of the steering column cowl with the cut-out for the switch (I didn't get one with my kit and used a dremel to make the cut-out, it's pre-marked as standard anyway).

Cheers,

Don't suppose you know the exact location that the ECU bracket should be ?

I've just bought a new bracket but can't see where it should fit, I know it's above the glovebox but it's a bit tight in there with the ABS ECU :mad:

yup work manuals to...though you would need a clutch pedal bracket and switch...(or link the wires together)

not so easy to find.....scrap cars mostly.

only difficult bit could be the actuator bracket...there are two types, the rest is plug and play
