I looked at these , went to online banking , yeah I will take em I thought , then they were gone ! Lol never mind . Would have been nice to have a spare set .

Where were these from mr mass ? , thanks Rob

Welcome to the squeaky club, I have the same as a lot of us on here . The usual suspects are , tailgate, these are designed to move with the car for flexibility so they can creak . Parcel shelf, try a bit of vasalene on the straps . The speaker pod bolts may need a tweak. Also the plastic covers on the door cards are prone to squeaking , also check spare tyre is seated properly and tool kit . A small amount of double sided tape or foam under plastics works as well . Oh and have a look at rear boot plastics , the list is endless really . Rob .

Nice !

I've never seen these ? .When I removed the lining the first time in mine , I never had any in . I thought it was held up by the abc pillars and the sunroof .

Mmmmm the door looks a bit bare now .

Typical , you come up with a new idea and someone nicks it . If this takes of I want all the credit .

Yep someone really did do this it was parked next to the t4 . And yes it's a classic Halfords special alright !

I saw this today on the beautiful sleek design that can only be a rover . When i saw where spectacular badges were positioned i thought wow ! theres an idea ,what would the rado look like with the badges on the arch . So if anyone can do a photo shop for me to see what it would look like i would be gratefull . Thanks Rob .

Coming on well , how many of these a left I wonder ?

Well done on your new purchase . As clumpy said dbp? . Are you keeping her standard ? Rob

That is an outright lie , no one has one of these , they dont exsist .

Being sorted while I'm on holiday , my friendly mechanic is doing it for me . I didn't want fuel evaporating away for a week while I'm away . I've had to plug the hole while I'm waiting for pump to arrive . Easy fix with the right pump though .

As Jon says , locate the whole , turn clockwise and you will lock it in place . The above info I gave to you was courtesy of Jon , who kindly relayed it to me . Great forum , without the info we all put in where would we be ? So credit to Jon .Oh and be careful with the sender arm when fitting .

Agree totally with above comments , if that was me , I would be back there , explain about your holiday and that you need it sorting there and then . Not when they want to do it . Yes they made a mistake , but that's not your problem it's there's to sort out ASAP .

The price seems fine to be honest , yeah vdo is the new version . These pumps are ranging from £122.00 to £488.00 in the uk , so you have to shop around .

The casing is how the new ones come , the new one I bought is exactly the same . The top of my original is white not black , so maybe they have replaced that as well , give Them a shout and check for fitting but it should be fine .as said it would have a new sender , as the original one won't fit the new version .

That looks like the new Bosch pump . You should be ok as it has the sender attached .

I don't know if they were better , but I would have thought it would fit , yes . I am awaiting a second hand pump ATM , so I can hopefully resolve my fuel issues .

Early vr's had piers burg pumps , they changed around 93 I think , to vdo , so if you have a shot old pump like mine and you buy the new Bosch one , the sender will not fit .

Simply awesome ! Beautiful car .

Christ ...... what are these people thing of , does he think hes got the last set of rear lights in excistance ?

True , true , will give it a go . Rob

Not sure if I could get away with that !

I was Changing over the fuel pump tonight , followed the instructions . When it came to fitting the sender , it was clear mine was not going to fit on the new unit . I bought it from carparts for less . They said the Bosch pump was a replacement for the original . Anyone who has fitted one will know the fuel pipes are very tight to fit , so I then had to remove them from the top original part to separate them from the new part . Even thoughi was careful as it came off my top part , it also broke the new one where the pipe fits in ! . Great I thought not only is it wrong , now I've busted it . £120 down I decided to call it a night , not a happy bunny . This happens to me all the time when ordering parts , when I get them they are wrong , I serviced the Vr a while back . Obviously I ordered a dizzy for a Vr and spark plugs , also temp senders . Two of the senders were wrong , I got 4 plugs and a dizzy for a for pot ! . Going for a second hand pump off eBay now with 3 months warranty I can't afford £240 on one from Vw . Yours very grumpy Rob
