  1. MK2 pic taken in 1999, the day I sold it, MK3 pic 2001, the day I partex'd it for a new MK4
  2. I'd have a really good look at the circuit for dry joints and clean up the contacts by sliding a piece of wet or dry paper between them
  3. And the VR I replaced it with, should have kept the 8V
  4. The first VR I should have bought was alpine white - went for a Golf VR6 instead...... I owned an alpine white 8V MK2 for 5 years before that
  5. Both of mine are, ones buried under loads of Audi spares in the garage, the other sitting outside wearing 3 speedlines and one solitude
  6. Lets see some of the valver then
  7. As it resets with the ignition off, I'd change the relay first, does the relay click when the wipers wont turn off?
  8. Three thoughts, one is the wiper stalk, the other is the park function on the motor itself - the motor will have an earth, live from the stalk and an ignition live and lastly the wiper relay including intermittent wipe function. I think I'd open up the wiper relay and check for dry solder joints, reflowing them if need be
  9. I've done a banger rally in his car, a real nice guy and VW and to a lesser extent German car nut, how did he ruin Retro cars?
  10. I'll say hot, alloy expands greater with heat than steel. In practice the won't make much difference.
  11. Lets see some side shots of your car, then we'll vote to "Raise the suspension" or "Mod the arch liner" You could maybe add a bumpstop to the top of the damper to restrict movement? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/bushes-bump-stops/powerflex-universal-bump-stops
  12. Or "Get yoself sum camber innit bro"?
  13. Could you remove the arch liner and heat it up to deform the plastic? Hot air paint stripper type gun?
  14. Cant picture it, photo? I was wondering if you could pull the arch out a little levering off the tyre gently with a piece of timber? 5mm or so wouldn't be noticeable?
  15. Where do they rub? 12 o'clock?

    Toyotech on CGTi, he's used to seeing these engine connected to the wrong cars
  17. Its nice to have a revue :) My CV was stuck solid in the hub, it bent my 3 leg puller all shapes, I had to remove the CV with the hub and press it out, your kit couldn't do that as it needs a hole for the threaded bar, a nice thing to have though :)

    I'm new to 1.8Ts, only having had the TT for a couple of months, so that was in my favourites as its a decent flowing manifold that is crack resistant according to the people in the know.
  20. Easily done Sean, I've purchased parts that in my mind fit, but are very wrong in practice.
  21. I'm no welder, without a grinder it looks pretty awful TBH. It serves 2 purposes, to store the MIG and hose and it also stops you kicking the angle iron feet - extremely painful if you happen to just catch your little toe! The press is situated by the main entry door.
  22. Can you link an example?
