    Editted this from earlier as i was an idiot and put the HT leads on in the wrong order :cuckoo: but the problem i still have is, i changed the aux water pump today for a 2nd hand one from ebay. Old one was leaking but worked fine. Now as soon as i turn ignition on the water pump comes on and seems to stay on when i start engine, its also really noisy. is this just a duff pump?

    not sure what the stuff is i got from gsf then, i take it VW is g12+ because i have a load of that already mixed will upload a photo of what i got from gsf, see if i can mix them?

    did mine today, the fuel lines were clamped on with a little clip with a screw in it? is that right?

    Finally got around to replacing the aux water pump today and fitted the gruvenparts bracket i've had for about a year :clap: What i need to know is, is it safe to mix the pink G12 coolant from gsf with the stuff i've bought from VW? are they the same? what is the difference between G12 and G12+?

    you should get a little knob with them that sits on the fronts, the rears have to be adjusted off the car. I should have a manual and the knob around that i don't need anymore well thats how it was when i had them on a corsa

    didn't get a photo but its the same way up as yours, so its correct

    do you know which way to slide the front one? :lol: towards battery? up towards the rest of engine? can't get mine off and a search revealed this thread?

    i'll go out to mine after dinner and get a photo, i could well be wrong when i said that above :nuts:

    i've fitted them and the rear end seems fine to me, its the front that still seems firm

    stick at it, it will go on for years after you've finished :clap:
  12. Jim Bowen
    am sure mine doesn't stick down like that in the middle

    the vampires are really rare and sought after, but by army collectors. we got the ambulance from a guy about 3 miles away and it was half the price of all the others we looked at :D deffo did well there. we went to the LRO show last year to check out a few. a judge dredd one think we might be painting it orange and black, then maybe art some artwork to it

    Got the chassis right out today and lowered the rear cab to the ground (which was pretty damn scary with the tools we had) but we got it down and no one was hurt. engine 3.5 v8, found out this was put in during 1996 some army stuff written on seat base - anyone know what it means? back on the ground STANCE! doner vehicle in background

    thanks for the diagram, was the same as they had. i've ordered 2x part 23 and 2x part 15 part 16 are nearly £14 each :shock: so i didn't order them also got the cat gasket and bolts
  20. Jim Bowen
    that looks more like it. just about to walk out door to go to VW and order some bits

    where was the fuel dripping from? i have a fuel leak problem and can't find anything, neither did the local garage. mine dripped/streams off the lowest point on the rear of the filter, so could be running down a line etc i find turning car off and on a couple of times and it stops
  22. Jim Bowen
    trying to order all new gaskets, mounts and rubbers over the phone but i'm getting confused.....some mounts are £4.08 and something to do with backbox is £27each??? has anyone got a diagram showing all the connections and mounts?
  23. Jim Bowen
    a big well done from me. but tbh, being a lady you should be able to do both the above at the same time...... multi-tasking i think you call it :norty:

    i want to say i prefer the speedlines but they look great in that colour, on that car :luvlove:

    I find myself enjoying the MotoGP far more these days, F1 doesn't seem much of a "race" to me anymore, they may as well be setting lap times on gran turismo, That would probably be more exciting :lol:
