VIC = Vehicle Identity Check, they check that the car has been repaired and its not a ringer. If the damage is more than 2 thirds of the cars value they apply cat C or D, it doesn't take much damage to write off a 10+ year old car. Buy on condition as you would any other purchase

I can't do 29th (working) or 11th (commitments), 18th or the 25th are good for me
-
£150 plus P&P, there are some on ebay cheaper. HTH

I don't know the part numbers, they're still on the car. Seat Toledo 2001 Y plate V5 170 BHP 2 wheel drive 256mm vented discs. If you need more info re the part numbers then the soonest I can take them off is tuesday.

I've just bought a shot blaster, the carriers were going to be the first trial, I need to transport my compressor here first and build a cabinet, hopefully by the end of next week it'll be ready for action
-
Thats fine, I'll keep them for you. I take it you're doing the MK4 rear caliper upgrade? Are you looking for 312mm fronts?
-
Make me an offer including postage if needed - (I can't post until Tuesday anyway)
-
Near side Off side The near side looks to have been renewed, the off side maybe an original

http://www.peterbestinsurance.co.uk/ My online quote was much cheaper for the same cover than over the phone, paid around £250 on a classic policy for 3K miles -
I've got 5 x 100 rears off a 170 bhp Toledo v5, 256mm vented, the calipers appear to have been replaced recently, I can post pics if needed.

46mm from the piston to the outer part of casting when the piston is fully wound back. HTH
-
I suppose what really matters is the overall pad / disc / pad measurement. I've got a pair of calipers off a 1999 Golf V5 estate in the shed, if you want pics or measurements shout up.
-
Black or silver would be my preference. A bright colour would look good if the wheel is full of brakes like your pic above, 17s would make the brakes look too small. Skud VRS have green calipers with 312mm brakes with 17s and look good, the 229mm rears would look poo on the same car IMO.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Way-Women-Stop-Smoking-A-/150643657325?pt=Non_Fiction&hash=item23130fca6d My other half quit 14 weeks ago, she read the above book and it didn't work, they gave her a refund and she attended one of their seminars (£200 or so), from that day she's been nicoteen free. She previously tried patches, pills, gum, all failed. The first three weeks were hell, rowing, bickering etc She was a 10 a day smoker so the course has already paid for itself.

We need pics
-
Are you sorted now? I've only just seen your PM from the 8th
-
Clamp the pin in a vice and tap the carrier lightly with a hammer and rotate with the carrier side to side a little at a time to get it moving. They're easy enough to straighten and emery cloth up until you get a replacement.
-
I could post them on Monday or give them to someone tomorrow to pass onto you?
-
I might have a pair of rear carriers, I'd have to check tomorrow. Are you going to Tatton Park tomorrow?
-
When I first read that I thought you were on about pics of his wife!
-
Master cylinder shot?

I've used a bolt to remove gearbox drain / fill plugs before, the bolt head goes inside the hex either weld a nut on the threaded end or lock 2 nuts together. I've also topped up via the speedo drive on earlier VW gearboxes.
-
Sometimes its better to sacrifice a nut with a grinder to keep the bolt servicable, tidy the bolts threads with wirebrush and die, its much better to replace a standard nut than order up an obscure bolt - usually because its sheared on a Saturday afternoon when the dealers are shut and you're 4 days without a car.
