I don't think it was asked ...... .

Copyright - Big no-no. VW(UK) whose poster it is will ........ .

Fortunately I don't have such limitations. So have a collection in one room! Dealer original photo print in the frame it was supplied with. climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfDSCN8288a.jpg[/attachment:3k08cky8] A limited 1 of 50 edition issued by VW (UK), signed by Murray Walker & Jonathan Palmer. 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDSCN8290a.jpg[/attachment:3k08cky8] And this arrived on my birthday about 5 years ago, a very limited edition of 1. My own Storm in the Storm poster. Very unique as it is Classic Green. :D DSCN8291a.jpg[/attachment:3k08cky8] .

Amazing it has taken so long to shift them and now they are "obsolete", the demand rises, bit like Corrado spare parts! :lol: Feels like a "group buy" coming on! .

Is that the last of the lot printed 7 - 8 years ago? .

Maybe not clear what I wrote, no planning permission or building regs required for the cantilever (Other than clearance by the manufacturer of the design). Yes PP for the structure if on the ground or touches the ground. Then grounded structures get into building regs on how its done. House deeds are another matter. Current ones are even more lengthy on what can & what can't etc. do. 9 pages of it for me. .

With my council and I believe with a lot of others, the cantilever type above doesn't need planning permission. Planning permission is only if the carport touches the ground and if it does, drains have to be moved or encased where the load bearing support is placed. Thats why the cantilever type off the house wall side is popular. Second thing that didn't affect me for nearly twenty years and stung just when it wasn't needed. Check your house deeds. In my case despite it being freehold, there was a convenent in the deeds (c.1979) about altering the appearance of the property (ie.land & house). It stated I had to have the permission of the builders. In my house sale, the buyer's solicitor raised the point and asked for the builder's paperwork granting the change. Got round it eventually but it was a sticking point. .

If they have exported it Japan, there will be a RHD. Can't find it at the moment but there are on-line Chinese ETKA's. .

Not quite the old Jetta but a VW China purchase of the old production stopped designs... http://direct.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/vie ... se#p344455 The photos from the link have gone but here they are..... .

Why don't lay out in plan view on the ground (photo) what you are putting together so we can see the whole set of parts you are assembling at the top of the strut and it what order. .

I've had a Road going front mount in for 12 years. It's been fine and never touched it. .

Your problem is getting the pad face parrallel with the back plate or the pads will not contact the disc correctly. Therefore reducing your braking capability. The only way is to machine grind them down on a flat bed machine or something similar. If the pad face are not parrallel to the back plate, I doubt if they will ever wear to make it parrallel for a long time. If they do, it will be thousands of miles, not hundreds before full braking potential is acheived again. .

Winter blues Eric. Mr K will be there. .

I've had a doodle and made one in PowerPoint. Camber Protractor 150111.ppt[/attachment:291x122u] Note the dimension requirements when printed otherwise the angles on the bottom scale will be incorrect. .

Considering they are behind the small pocket shelf and hidden. Do you think a judge is about to rip apart your car on the line in front of you? You are having a joke aren't you? :D On a line a car gets about 20 mins to be assessed, 30 mins at most. I have loads of old fuses spares. They don't go "off" with time if stored. They do "life" if in use if working near their current rating. .

Genuine Storm. Classic Green model. .

Can't export it out of Freelance as Lotus were at logger heads with Microsoft back then and therefore no filter. Simple to make in PowerPoint. Just make a scale up that represents and check it by physical measurement of the printed copy. At the time Freelance had an angle window so you could rotate the line to devise the scale. But still measured off dimensions and use trig to fettle it to an accurate scale. I actually keep the legacy Freelance application loaded on the PC just to print this file! .

I made the gauge out of two 90' decking angle brackets with a flat decking plate. All bolted. Then screwed the 2 x 1 with 2.5 inch screws to the middle. Also two narrower 90' angle brackets on the sides of the 2 x 1. Dipped the two end edges ("feet") in blue rubber paint to stop paint being scratched. The paper protractor was draw out in Lotus Freelance v2.1 years ago. Measured up to ensure the angles were correctly printed. It prints on A4. Its marked out in major - degrees -3 to +3 and minors to 15 minutes. Rest is reading judgement. 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfCamber Protractor Illustration only.jpg[/attachment:2k07c8q4] camber.zip[/attachment:2k07c8q4] Setting up is a matter of pinning the top drawing pin & cotton to the top hairline cross. Put the instrument on a measured flat surface. Move the paper protractor to near as vertical as the cotton (with nut weight) indicates all th eway down to the angle scale. Pin it in place on either side of the vertical line as shown. Length of cotton & nut has to hang short of the footing points so it can swing. To get plumb dead on, bend the decking brackets slightly. The decking brackets and decking plate (B&Q) are about 50mm wide for stability while standing. On the car roof, use a digital camera to read the readings (thats what the 2nd photo was for) due to the awkward position to take a visual eye reading. Make sure its taken on the centre line to avoid parrellax errors. I also know from creating a known flat bed for the cars at the previous house that on my Corrado, the roof just a couple of inches behind the sunroof rear edge on the centre line is "flat" for where the instrument is placed. On the Scirocco in the photo, that's its level point on the roof I can use. You will have to measure the point to point of the garage floor (ie. 4 tyre spots) where the Corrado will stand to understand the garage floor levels. From this, the roof readings position can be determined and errors etc.. Once you've done this once, there's no need again as the roof spot is now known that represents the wheel on ground. I don't do it to the last minute of arc.. I just look for ball-park abd go from there. .

You know tyres have a "pulling" factor? Thats what the coloured lines on the tread are about when bought new. In some cases, not matching these lines correctly on an axle can lead to the tyres steering the car left or right, irrespective of camber/tracking being correct. .

To do with VR6 is cloth as standard, Storm was Leather as standard. So value of the car when new was higher. So higher insurance grouping. .

But why weigh in the first place? .

If by bumpy you mean softly boucing up/down. No. It should a be a comfortable/slightly firm ride with the rear gas dampers. And.... if the rears are as badly worn as that, then the front oil filled are long past their sell by date if original. .

Red on a '95. Isn't the VW part number stamped into the damper body near the axle mounting end? .

I find it quite fun using Heath Robinson tools only to go down the road and see similar readings appear on laser technology tools which cost. They were utterly amazed the first time when they saw the homemade tools in the boot. Mine are out of the B&Q parts bins, aka decking brackets and other bits & bobs plus the good old friend... 2 x1. Its piece of mind at the end of the day. How do you take account of the garage floor not being level? .

Static test across ...... Pins 1 & 2 is 500 to 700ohms expected. Pins 1 & 3 is open circuit. Pins 2 & 3 is open circuit. .
