  5. Hi I had a gearbox and clutch fitted a while ago but it's never liked going into 1st gear since.ive tried adjustment on gearbox side and it's still the same.its got a decent oil in box and a Valeo clutch.ive tried to adjust it on gear stick side but nothing seems to happen (unless I am undoing wrong nut).reverse gear is fine.its like it needs to be adjusted slightly so gear stick goes further to the left more when going for 1st gear.
  6. I was going to put a 1.8t in mine I even bought most of the stuff needed but thought it was a shame to take a perfect engine out.it can work out expensive with cambelt kit clutch and loads of other bits
  7. I've not got clips on mine and it's fine without them

  15. I changed my outer window seal scrapers a while ago with some from vw heritage. They have never seemed to fit properly. They don't push down enough onto the door so they don't touch the glass very well.also were I park I get bits off a tree getting into the door because of the gap.i also think it's the cause of my glass rattle as it didn't do it with the old ones.anyone else had same problem
