I wouldn't pay that either!

They've listed them on ebay now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-BBS-RC-RSII-Golf-Anniversary-Wheel-Cap-Spanner-NEW-/400448292956?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item5d3c94085c

No worries, will be in touch

Texted and phoned today to try and view the shell, maybe next weekend?

Were you using taper seat bolts with OE speedlines? They should be cone seat bolts and I'd suspect the audi wheels are the same fitment too. ---------- Post added at 1:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 1:06 PM ---------- What did you torque to bolts up to? You should be able to source a speedy to complete your set easily enough. It may also be worth stating what tyre sizes are fitted to the wheels

Thats what the slide pins are for on the calipers, they allow for wear in the discs and pads, there's only one piston and that's on the inside so as the disc and pads wear the caliper moves inwards, new discs and pads and the caliper moves outwards towards the wheel. Corrado rear bearings - very much non sealed if you don't refit the cap http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK1-MK2-MK3-CORRADO-REAR-WHEEL-BEARING-KIT-191598625-NEW-GENUINE-VW-PART-/130872436870?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e789ae886 Running without the dust cover will dramatically reduce the life of the bearings and lead to wear to the stub axles.

Also if there's minimal clearance now and the discs and pads are worn there may be contact when new discs and pads are fitted ---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ---------- I wouldn't listen to anymore advice from him!

OE VAG wheels will usually be conical seat bolts (alloys or steels), aftermarket wheels are often taper seat bolts. Remove and not replace the rear bearing dust caps? What keeps the grease in and the dirt out? The wheel shop sounds like a proper maxpower outfit! Post a pic of the wheels you're trying to fit

I've read that handcleaner works well. I'd also give white spirit a try. A warmer day would help too I'd imagine? Heat gun to soften it?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2656284 Its nearly 10 years since I last went to elsecar, what are the roads around there currently like snow wise?

Yes

Nice to see a little bit of Corrado on the series even though it was attached to a plastic fantastic A N Other............

Im going to get one of those for my toolbox :)

Can i view the shell this weekend?

http://www.scribd.com/doc/8762040/23-V5-AGZ-info-doc The link is for a 10V V5 (AGZ engine code), the engine block is similar to the VR6 set up with just one cylinder less.

I may have a bag for a 4 spoke, ecu too. You may find the seat belt pretensioners are part of the system too?

Needs a scan. My MK3 CL estate on an S plate had no seat or passenger airbags.

Phone them and ask for the part number on their spanner to confirm either way?

Will the buyer need to bring wheels?

I sent a message to PWmotorsport on ebay re the RC spanner, their reply arrived today. Hi I normally have the RC spanner in stock. I expect new stock toward the end of the week, please call to order.

Was there any paint on the wheel to hub faces on the wheel? Its not unknown for paint to crush on mating surfaces and the wheel to then come off
