Deal. I'll PM you.

I bought this only to find I already had one fitted... Replaces OEM crappy plastic p/n 021-121-050C. Machined from super light and super strong 6061-T651 aluminum with TIG welded full threaded bungs on both the oil cooler feed nipple and the drain plug (no tapped thin wall regions) to EXACTLY match the OEM part. You can remove the oil cooler feed nipple and plug it with a ¼ NPT plug if you want to ditch the problematic OEM factory oil cooler and install a more serious air/oil cooler. Likewise, you can also install a temp sender in the plug location. [ATTACH=CONFIG]70850[/ATTACH] £55 + postage

Is this just a replacement part or an upgrade?

Why are you selling? Where is it, and if not at Stealth, can you get it there? What's your price for the full setup?

Found them - here all the time:- [ATTACH=CONFIG]70742[/ATTACH] (Feet not included in sale) [ATTACH=CONFIG]70743[/ATTACH] £45 collected

I have one. Got some pics somewhere. I'll dig them out.

Ok, Ron, will do. Might take a day or so as I'll have to dig them out, so please bear with me.

I have both in excellent condition. Wheel is £45; gearknob £15.

I have one. What are you offering?

I think it's a fair price at 200 quid.

Bought this for a project, since abandoned, and now need the space. It's been assembled, used to lift an engine about half a dozen times and is in near-perfect condition, more or less unmarked, with just light scratches. It easily disassembles into a relatively small space. [ATTACH=CONFIG]69390[/ATTACH] The Clarke CFC 1000 workshop crane offers rugged construction combined with the convenience of a compact, space saving folding frame. A four stage extending jib offers excellent lifting range whilst long legs, with heavy-duty castors and wheels, ensure ample stability and manoeuvrability. •Lifting capacity of 250kg to 1000kg in four stages; •Maximum lifting height 1920mm; •Maximum jib length 1137mm (4-stage); •Leg height 160mm; •Overall leg width 962mm outside, 812mm inside; •Supplied with lifting hook. Cost new is £275.98 from Machine Mart. I'm looking for £200, collected from Cambridge.

They do a cheaper version, CES500A, with a different base on 3 wheels at £46.99 + VAT, ie £56.39

Hi all I have 2 brand new Clarke CES 750A Engine Stands which I bought for a project I've abandoned. They are both unused and still in their boxes as delivered, although the boxes are both slightly water damaged. [ATTACH=CONFIG]69368[/ATTACH] Allows all round access to an engine, cylinder head or automatic transmission for major repairs and servicing when removed from the vehicle. The 4 multi position arms can secure a wide variety of items from different manufacturers. Strong steel construction combined with an extra wide base offers maximum stability and rigidity. •Weight capacity 340 Kg; •Secured item can be rotated through 360 degrees for maximum accessibility; •Wide base frame with 4 wheels for extra stability and ease of movement; •Includes a useful parts storage tray; •Dimensions (LWH) 1050 x 830 x 860mm. They are currently £83.98 from Clarkes. Grab a bargain at £60 (each), collected from Cambridge. I also have a Clarke Folding Crane, slightly used, which I'll be posting up shortly.

Did you not get the pic I emailed to you on 14th?

Pics of subframe assembly (should be) attached. Forgot to get a quote for shipping, tho'. Duh.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]68976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]68977[/ATTACH] Aldershot is miles away from me. Have you tried any of your local scrappies. Might be cheaper.

There is much confusion about rear beam track widths. There's an interesting thread on track widths on Mk2s and 3s etc over on Club Gti. Seems they can vary considerably both front and rear in the same models for no apparent reason. Bear in mind the rear track of a FWD car should always be narrower than the front. Dangerous otherwise. Measure carefully... I have a VR6 and a Mk3 GTi 16V rear beam, which are absolutely identical BTW, for sale at 45 quid each, if they're any use to you. One is polybushed and one has braided lines on (may be on the same beam) IIRC. Been in my garage about 4 years waiting for me to get around to it, which I'm clearly unlikely to. I'm about 45 mins from NW London up the A1(M) or poss M11 in Cambridge.

Like I said, it's scruffy but sound. I'll post some pics later tomorrow. There's no 'need' to blast and p/c it, but since it's off the car it's an ideal opportunity to get it done, mate. There again, you could just give it a scrub up and wash and a lick of Hammerite, or just stick it on as is. Up to you, really. While you're at it, there's a pair of wishbones going, too, if you're interested in doing those at the same time. Delivery cost would depend a lot on where it's got to go to. Where are you?

I have one. Scruffy but sound. Ideal for blasting and p/c. 45 quid + del?

Sounds like they're worth knowing about. Which breakers did you use?

I've got one, Gus. Bought it from a forum member about 2 years ago for 25 quid. Looks a bit tatty but AFAIK it's sound. Had planned to get it blasted and powder coated but it's still in the garage where I unloaded it and doesn't look like I'm likely to get around to doing anything with it. You can have it for the 25 quid it cost me (or more if you prefer) + whatever shipping to Stealth.

The latest MOT Inspection Manual published by VOSA is dated 1st January 2012 and takes account of the 50 or so changes to the regulations following the revised EU testing directive (2009/40/EC) adopted on 31st December 2011. There is no requirement for washing and suspension or headlamp self-levelling systems to be fitted with HIDs. It provides only that any which are fitted must work correctly, viz:- "Vehicles equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID) or LED dipped beam headlamps may be fitted with headlamp washers and a suspension or headlamp self levelling system. Where such systems are fitted, they must work; however, it is accepted that it may not be possible to readily determine the functioning of self levelling systems. In such cases, the benefit of the doubt must be given. Headlamp washers may work in conjunction with the windscreen washers (when the dipped beam headlamps are switched on) or by a separate switch." The current IVA Inspection Manual for M1 vehicles excludes the requirement for cleaning and self-levelling headlamp devices to be fitted to new cars where the intensity of the light source is not more than 2000 lumens (12000K bulb and higher). The AA's guide, which was updated on 27th June, reads as follows:- "Where HID or LED dipped beam headlamps are fitted the tester will switch on the headlamps and check the operation of any headlamp levelling and cleaning devices fitted. The car will fail if a headlamp levelling or cleaning device is inoperative or otherwise obviously defective. If a headlamp bulb is not seated correctly the resulting beam pattern will be indistinct and this will result in a test fail." and "The new testable components subject to the 'bedding in' period are: headlamp levelling and cleaning devices when fitted for HID or LED headlamps...."

Sounds interesting. Could you post a few pics, please, mate?

You could always use them to run ducts to the front brakes... I had this set up on a Mk2 16V.
