I bought one £18 delivered so not much more than that I'd guess

I'll be there on the Peak VAG clubstand

Hi Kip, Mine did just pull off, took some doing as there is a metal spring clip inside the buttony thing.

I'll have a look tonight but I think I have a standard leather one still in the shed. I'll let you know.

Hi Mate, didn't have to cut much really, more a case of adding. I had to re-drill the doorwhere the screw locates, extend the striker plate and weld a small blob onto the mechanism so the handle would work with a tiny amount of movement. You have to get that bit right to make sure the door doesn't come open when you go over a small bump (I found this out the hard way !) The other thing you have to do is cut a small groove in the extended strike plate so that it doesn't foul the window as it comes down as that can open the door for you too (again, I found this out the hard way). I have taken them off again at the moment as there was an embarrasing moment with a flat battery :-(. I'm going to try and mate them up with some of those repair kits to see if I can use the standard catches. ---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ---------- Cheers mate, the cream badges have gone now and the wheels will be off next weekend as they have been relegated to my winters now. the engine was cleaned using Autoglym motorcycle cleaner, sprayed on and agitated with a brush. Left for 5 mins to do it's stuff and then pressure washed off. Some more autoglym stuff was used (can't remember what it was called) and left on overnight to leave the sheen on it.

Yeah it was Mate thanks, the sunroof was only £25 so it was also a bargain compared to the Passat items!! Just got to find some cheap lupo wiper arms now :-)

Well, the other week I fitted black A,B, & C pillars into the rado to fit in with everything else I was doing. I also wanted to colour the headlining black to suit so it all came out :smiley: My ghetto fix on the roof lining was 2 tins of satin black cellulose paint I had in the shed :evil: While the roof lining was out I decided that I was going to try and get the sunroof to work Oooops :sad: Completely buggered it :angry:. I needed to get one sooner rather than later as the panel was just sat in the hole :shocked: I had heard that the B3 or B4 passat estate moonroof was a near as dammit fit so I set about trying to find one of those as a rado one would be near impossible to find in good nick and the right colour :sad: After failing miserably on many places to find one I heard of someone getting one out of a Mk2 seat ibiza....................so I bought one :smiley: And it fits damn near perfect :cool: Chuffed to bits with it :smiley: Next weekend.................wheels

I've just fitted a new sunroof today to mine (it's a '93 valver) I got one from out of a '97 seat ibiza and it fits perfectly. Only cost £25 as well so a lot cheaper than the passat ones :-)

RIght Mate, here's the leather handbrake cover, I also foung a gearstick gator too but not sure if it will fit onto a standard gearknob. If you want them you can have them for £10 if you come and get them. If you do, and you want a set of tinted headlight covers that I got from this forum. Just bring £30 for the lot and you can take these as well ;-) Let me know and we can arrange something :-)

I'll sort you a picture out today Ant ;-)

Actually, looking at the picture above, it looks a different colout to that so it might not be useful :-(

I have a beige handbrake gator in leather

And up again....

..............................and received. Perfect for what I need, Thanks :-)

Hup :-)

That'll do for me Mate, let me know what the postage is and I'll send the funds over ;-)

Looks very nice Mate, nice to see more rado' s in derbyshire.

Sweeeet!! Cheers Andy

If you can find out the postage Mate that sounds pretty good ;-)

Hi mate, thanks for the offer but it's a little too far for me to travel I'm afraid :-(

Anyone selling one? Mine hasn't slid since I've had it and today the tilt gave up the ghost :-( I guess it will have to be quite local as shipping would be dangerous. Let me know what you've got. Cheers, Andy

By the way, I have a pair of really good condition tinted headlight protectors that I'm willing to do a deal for a bumper with ;-)

Cheers Mate, if you're passing and I'm still lookng for one i'll take it off you .

Hi folks, Has anyone got one lying around that they don't want?? Looking for one to play around with so paint colour/ paint condition is not an issue. Obviously not wanting to pay much as it might end up in the bin after anyway :-). Ideally close to the Buxton, derbyshire area so I can come and collect. Cheers Andy

Not having much luck with the part number :(. Is the coil from the KR valver the same?? Or should i search for the B3 Passat one?
