One pair of goodridge flexis for standard rear calipers £25 posted uk
-
I have a new pair, pm me an offer if you like

Yes, 288mm and 312mm use the same calipers, the carriers allow the differing disk diameters
-
Why not use a length of studding and slim nuts?

With stupid prices like that it ensures Fuzzer and Purpletom will always be needed / busy selling parts to forum users. That said if you look through his feedback of the stuff he's actually sold the prices seem reasonable? I always thought sams salvage was our old friend badboyhiggins (banned from this forum)?

Ok, will measure the dusks for you asap and if they suit your needs ill forward my paypal details
-
The best thing to do is measure the voltage across the battery terminals with the engine running and then compare the voltage at the bulbs, if its the same then the loom is doing its job
-
Great stuff, can i paypal you?

All the above are used, the disks have slight wear, they've been in storage for a few years and I've cleaned them up with a wire brush in a grinder, rears come with there Greenstuff pads and bearings (I'm keeping the stub axles) The MK4 rears were fitted to one of my own cars I've broken in the past that were fully functional but need a clean up and paint. £70 delivered by Myhermes signed for. I can measure the thickness of the disks with a micrometer if you require me to do so

Look for Seat Toledo V5s as they are almost free, sell the wheels and electric seats and you'll be on your way to getting your money back. The AGZ estate was a nice cruiser, pulled well from idle and made touring Cornish coastal roads effortless, where as a 1.8T required gear changes on the twisty roads making it a bit of a pain in comparison. You'll need a VR6 gearbox (the V5 gearbox ratios wont really suit the MK1 and you'd have to change the drive cups from 108 mm to 100mm anyway).

Ive owned a couple of v5s, early agz is a vr6 less one cylinder but with variable inlet, will map to around 165 bhp with decat and exhaust. Late has aqn and is the same as bde less one cylinder so variable inlet and vvt on both cams. The complexity is the same as with the 6 cylinder engines and the finished value less so i don't know why anyone would bother?

Very nice:) MK4 golf strut top plate covers? Has anyone ever fitted a MK4 golf plastic battery cover?

Patrolling around car show venues at weekends will be like shooting fish in a barrel, its not a fad, its been popular for 15 years or so in the uk

You can be emissions tested at the side of the road or be breath tested or have the tread depth checked on your tyres etc etc You'd be unlucky with the above, but poking wheels and stretched tyres are an easy spot for anyone to see
-
But the car will still be illegal and if stopped by the police or the dvlas registered body they're in the ****
-
Your car has to comply with the MOT regs for 365 days of the year, not just on the day its presented.
-
Well if you read the first post excessive stretch has now been legislated against and its an MOT fail, if the tester cant prove its excessive then its "Pass and Advise", so it will be recorded on the MOT cert as such for your insurance co to read in the event of a claim

I recently measured the boss on the rear disks at around 17mm from the hub face, if the centre bore of the spacer wasn't parallel there's a chance the spigot boss on the spacer would bind to the point where it may shear off whilst tightening the wheel bolts

There's a graph in the Bentley manual
