Hello m8 do you have a good condition non leaking steering rack available for a 1990 1.8 16v? thanks andy

hi rodmax ive sent a PM but do you have a steering rack available for a 1990 1.8 16v? also, is there a good alternator? thanks

done! only 6 behind 2nd place now & catching 1st!

ooo just remembered i have 2 FB accounts as i also manage the business one for Vantasia Ltd i will try & do another vote from the other account

& unfortunately it will have to stay as just that for quite a while the brakes i would like are a fortune & would need new wheels, plus from what ive read an LSD is a must also unless i somehow win 10K on the lottery lol

good decision chuggs i have tried many brands of tire over the years but would only now use bridgestone's on my rado's pity about the delay but at least it is only a day :)

Hello I am trying to get my valver back on the road & though it is mostly just perished boots etc it seems i do have a very leaky steering rack :( Ive looked on VW Heritage & then nearly puked lol Does anyone have a good condition working steering rack available for a G reg 1990 1.8 16V? Thanks in advance

oh the lust for forced induction just got stronger, damn it!

done & now up to 12 come on people, cant have a mondeo beating a rado

you must really love that M key Rog if you have used it so much it fell apart ;) lol

welcome - have a read of the buyers guide on here, if you havent already, lots of good info on there FYI my journey to work is around 12 miles & after a short warm up on the drive it will get to temp each journey even in really cold weather. my mpg isnt too bad either, an average week will see around 180-200 ish miles for £35 worth of V-power (that obviously lowers the higher the cost of the fuel)

ha ha good one! me neither & especially so now ive the BMC & full stainless combo - noise to die for :D

just checked the site i mentioned - if you have 4 they are £78.38 each

ha ha ha & the award for 'most active new member' ;) lol wayne - you definitely ask some good questions & are liked though m8!

thats the ones m8 Mr Lobitos can get those as well i believe. however - i have used event-tyres.co.uk the past few times as they are well priced & include all fitting & balancing etc at your work or home [i absolutely hate tire places with cowboy kid fitters) the person who put the new ones on the rear of the VR a couple of months ago was a big petrol head too & loved the rado :D lol

done :)

from experience m8 you get what you pay for! i have found most tires on the VR, & the valver, to be utter ****e & wear rate & wet/dry performance is pap they are more pricey but the only brand of tires i will run on my rado's is bridgestone the current 205/50/15 RE002's i have on are superb. barely tell the difference in grip between wet & dry, firm sidewall so corner very well, dont bloody squeal on car parks & the wear rate is excellent. think i got about 14K miles out of the last pair on the front (compared with about 6-7 on avons if lucky) at the end of the day it is the tire which is the only part on the car which makes contact with the ground & as such should not be skimped on & is one area where you will most certainly feel the difference between prices

& i must admit though im liking the progress with my new kitchen, god damn it im rather gutted i couldnt make it along to this with the gf :(

oooo yeah! thanks fella :D

superb thanks for that advice graphite - worked a treat unfortunately though im not interested in the 4*100 wheels the prodrive mags on the other hand are tempting but i just cant afford them at the moment

nice thanks rog!

welcome - glad your enjoying the place & the rado love your sig pic is rather nice m8, did you find it online or make it yourself?

where is said video located m8? linky linky pls?

Hi Nigel My apologies as i have been meaning to PM you with an update, im glad you have seen it on this thread though :) Paul did indeed do a cracking job. i had another look at the section he made to go from the rear centre box to the back box & the pipework bending is a small work of art. he did say during the job that it was more tricky due to it being lowered lol i was hoping to get pics etc this weekend but my hands were full ripping out my old kitchen & installing a new one but i will definitely do them soon i also said i would give Paul a call with feedback after a few weeks as he seemed genuinely interested in the car & that he hadnt fitted a system to one previously

welcome - a G60 then or VRS?
