The regulator is for the temp and fuel gauge, if they're working the reg should be all good. The purpose of the reg is to supply the fuel and temp gauges with a consistent voltage, engine running or engine off. Without the reg the alternator voltage being higher than battery voltage the gauges would read higher engine running than with the engine stopped.

Compare new hub with old? bearing with old outer part of bearing?

You push the bearing into the housing using the outer part of the bearing race only. then you support the inner part of the bearing at the rear as you push the hub into the bearing. hope this makes sense?

I’d fit a new bearing, the CV holds it all together, if the weight of the car has been on the tyre without the cv in place it’s life will be limited

If it was my car I'd roll with it

VW MK2 Golf GTI Rear Seat with Headrest Setup, Factory Fitted. | eBay

The fronts fit, but in the rear they lean too far forward, clamped the top of each bar in a vice and slid a piece of tube over them and straightened them a little

I really wanted those rear headrests... You can see them in the pic

I was lucky and found them in a scrapyard - Car Transplants, they were fitted to a car with the roof cut off by the fire brigade, they'd also cut the headrests off to extract the driver - I took them to the counter and they gave the head rests to me, when I got them home there was flesh, blood, hair etc on them... Stripped off the covers and dunked them in a bucket of hot water and washing powder. Went to a local cheap scrap yard and picked up a set of polo rests and fitted the covers to those. Got the rear seat bracket kit from VW and fitted them to the rears. Top tints were £25

When mum passed away I went through my hoard I'd left there and eBayed loads of stuff, nothing left

I did that to my MK2 twenty odd years ago, stole the idea from B3 Passat, looks so much cleaner

Member Supercharged had a pd engined C, that would probably be my ideal car…

More pics of the car you tease lol

Good spot on the export by the way "Hawkeye" lol

Just under 4 feet or 1.2M long, should fit between the seats into the footwell of the Porsche?

Ethanol rots rubber

I've been with Brentacre for 20+ years, 3 years ago I had a non fault claim, I had legal cover and the solicitors dealt with the whole claim on behalf of the insurance co (I had to inform them myself, they were happy to hand over to the solicitors). Everything was straight forward, minor damage but as the car was low value I had the option to write it off and buy back for 10% of the pay out. £1700, or £1530 and keep the car (I sold the wheels alone for £200) and I only paid £1900 6 years previously for the car. I never go with the cheapest quote, one day you may need to claim, only then do you find out how good your insurance is.

The rubber mounts inside the swirl pot that fix the petrol pump to the pot were dissolved when bought my car 11 years ago.

Compression test, leak down even better
