    The first port of call will be to check all the vacuum hoses for splits. Then clean the isv and check the damper box . How old are the ignition leads ? Poor spark can cause problems . Check the dizzy cap for corrosion as well . Rob

    Saw this the other day , that and people trying to BASE jump (if that's what it's called ?). What a bunch of idiots , I'm surprised how little deaths there are from these people jumping over cars and stuff .

    Your key will still fit , your only changing the ignition switch not the barrel .

    Great news Sean . Have a good read on replacing the sunroof , in the search . I would hate for you to scratch the new paint dude .

    I'm not real a fan of cars that get altered to this degree , but I have to admit that looks nice and clean and clutter free .

    A lot of the dust comes from using the airline to de dust the car before wiping . I remember Kip saying the same thing about his or his wife's car . It's a bit like dragging the Christmas tree out of the lounge ...... Two months later and your still finding needles , or prep dust in your case .

    Good job it's coming out , the white dust gets everywhere , even though it's masked up . When I picked mine up all I had in it was the drivers seat .

    Are you stripping out the interior Sean ?

    Dont knock it ,till youve tried it James .

    There will be quite a few without them , screen fitters tend to break them !, then bond the scuttle in place after . James , yes always best to ask . Sean there are two lips on them , one sits snug behind the bulkhead the other catches the lug of the scuttle . Not the best fitting VW ever came up with though . These are available from Heritage at £12.00 i think . Rob

    All fitted now , thanks people . I didnt realise that the pin went through and made it a nice tight fit . I should have known this as the damp proofing plugs i fit at work, work the same way . Only had one which would not quite sit right ,no matter how i tried to get it to do so , it only sits a tiny bit higher though , i suppose i can live with that . Rob

    No worries James . So from what i can see it does not actually clip on to the scuttle ,the lip of the clip just slids under the corresponding lip on the scuttle ?. Many thanks Leon .

    Thanks for the help , here is the pic , just to check i have the right part . Rob

    Hi all , I recently recieved my scuttle clips from VW Heritage . I can see where the old ones used to be as the round push fit stubs are left in the bulkhead . But when you offer the new ones up i cannot see how they are supposed to fit ?, yes they will sit in the bodywork ,but the thin pin on the other side clashes against the scuttle . There seems to be no hole for it ?. Any help is much appreciated . Rob

    Just when you think , that there is nothing more worse and more ugly , than a Fiat Multipla.

    Yep , will be best to source parts mate .I will be making a list of stuff I need this weekend , to fit in the winter time , so will be asking you a few questions ! Rob

    Very nice . Oozing retro style . As Hasan said, this one was a childhood favourite . Bags of style a true Mercedes !
  20. robrado974
    Ah , nice new bits . It does cost a big wack to keep the car as you want it doesn't it ! .
  21. robrado974
    That's better than the set up at Bristol this year by a mile . Good luck on Sunday .
  22. robrado974
    I wonder if the set up will change for the show n shine ? . A few more sections for the water cooled would be nice . A little two much favouritism towards the golfs !! Rob
  23. robrado974
    Yes mate , I did it again and waited longer for the glue to set up a bit more . All stuck properly now .
  24. robrado974
    Nice work done there Ian , still going strong at 224k , that's testament to the VR engine . The bay looks lovely and clean too .
  25. robrado974
    Update , I just need the fogs and indicators now . Rob
