You know me too well :lol:

Ha ha, I guess it depends on what you mean by big :) It's the front facing part of the vdo gauges that fit in the cubbyhole under the ashtray

Bit of a random question. Could you map something and 3D print a mirror image of it? Reason I ask is, I have something that is for a lhd that I would like to somehow fit into a rhd

Hi, yes I still have a few. I notice you are in Finland, is yours a right hand drive? Only asking as I can only confirm these will fit the rhd models. They may well fit lhd but I've got no way of knowing?

This is the one I bought , at least I'm fairly sure it is, it's a while ago but I followed the link from on here and I'm sure it was someone with the proper knowledge as I tend to listen to people in the know. I know it states that the fronts are for 312mm but if I remember correctly, the 288mm hoses are the same? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110749814466

I have a set for this setup from Goodrich still in the box, I'll dig them out later on and get you some pictures and sizes

I removed a couple of VR6 front bearings at the weekend and they had no lip and the replacement ones also have no lip (febi)

Hopefully mate :)

Lovely sunny day today, I've been up early patiently waiting for the elusive track rod assembly for the 16v, but still no sign. So as I was outside I though I might as well do something productive......

Fingers crossed it goes ok mate, I love all the pictures as I'm sure at some point I'll be at similar points and to be able to see stuff is such a help:)

Cheers Dox, looks like force is the answer then. I've actually got the new driveshaft fitted already, and it was very straightforward.......very surprising for me

Looks great to me :)

Ha ha, I was hoping for some finesse before getting the persuader involved:lol:

The hub itself is easy enough to get the rest of the bearing out of

On another note, I've been trying to strip down some VR front hubs and I'm struggling to remove part of the bearing that gets stuck on and I can't get a puller on at there is next to no lip on the offending bit Middle part pressed out Leftover bit Can anyone tell me an easy way to get this off?..... I have 4 like this :lol:

New boot and clips ready for the track rod......if it arrives:)

Couple of wee updates coupled with a question or 2 :) The 16v, which is now my daily driver developed a clunk when pulling away, so a quick investigation found a burst cv boot on the n/s and the wheel coated in lovely black grease. As the driveshaft looked quite rough and the inner cv being as old as the outer I decided to get a driveshaft from j&r with both cv's already on it. Then I went to swap it over, all the bolts came out ok but in a schoolboy error I tried to remove the track rod end bolt to remove the hub so I could get the driveshaft out......I broke the track rod end bolt......and I couldn't get the end off the rod, completely seized with rust. So I had to order a full new track rod and end, which still hasn't arrived. I bought the removal tool, which made the job very easy although I did have to cut through the rod to use it

Ha ha, I know mate, but I've got that many , everything finds a home......eventually:lol:

Mystery solved They are indeed the rubber band type thing that holds the airbox closed Same as this http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/331985509935?_mwBanner=1

Location?

£62.50 if you pay as a gift mate, only one postage change......£65 if you don't want to do the gift thing :)

Ha ha, I know mate, I enyoy the banter. Not sure it's dedication , more like, in need of medication:lol:

Another vote for the Irwins, I'd be lost without mine......helped me get 2 driveshaft bolts out at the weekend, which were totally rounded out in the middle

:lol: To be fair, this post was half an hour old by the time I spotted it , if you're not fast....you know the rest ;)

Sorry mate, I've been looking for one for a while too
