  1. ah i know what they are now thank ya. The extra bits are the further back exhaust gaskets and valve seals Thanks buddy
  2. Yer im replacing all the gaskets i've taking off, but some of the stuff in the kit i don't remember taking off?! Confused a bit here haha
  3. Just got a head gasket kit. Seams to be more than I need. Do you normally fit everything you get in the kit of just what you need to? Many thanks
  4. Ah nice one mate. Just the sort of info I was after. Thanks lads
  5. Hello everyone. Quick question. I think they are called cam followers. I've had them out of the head for a while and all the oil has drained out of them. Can they be put back in like normal and they will work fine or if there a way of refilling them before I put them back in? Or is it just a case if having to buy a new set? Thanks guys
  6. Anyone have any info on having the cams re ground? Cam kits is about 400 quid! Don't know if this is a cheaper option
  7. I am yet to put mine back together, so this thread has put the fear of god in to me! :( I'll be watching very closely :D

    MFA problem

    Could find much info with the search function. Since I've owned the 'rado the MFA has never displayed the oil temp. How do I go about sorting this? Thought I would get all the little things sorted while I'm waiting for parts :D Thanks
  11. The rado still is my daily :lol:. Robbed my mums delivery van for essential trips (work, shop when out of fags/jager/jd :D )
  12. Im about 40 miles outside london mate
  13. haha you paying for petrol on the 900+ miles round trip :lol:
  14. Thanks guys. The engine will be shiney :D. Polished bits :D :D :D
  15. seriously thanks mate :D

    do VW sell

    Don't think so mate, if they did I think they would cost loads. Company that advertises in pvw called Exchange Engines could help you out. £970 exchange for a fully rebuilt (basically new) engine
  17. Thanks mate. How can I double check the engine is at tdc before I start building it back up? Another thing that has been playing on my mind is the cams, when I put them in how do I know when they are in the right position (tdc)?
  18. and Schumacher owns the only black FFX ever made
  19. I :luvlove: this forum sometimes :D What about the sunroof bit? Thanks mate
  20. Well while the rado's off the road I thought I'd spure it up a bit (had enough of engine work :( ). The headliner fabric seems to be coming away in a few places so I'm going to recover it. How do I go about removing the whole headliner from the car?
  21. Ordered the new gasket set, currently painting, porting and polishing :D
  22. Yer going to rebuild with all new parts as I go now. Looking to do a few little upgrades as I go. Shall report back with my progress :D
