Could you send me two plugs so that i can get rid of the spade terminal , anyone that would rather keep 8 quid in there pocket rather than having a fully safe loom is mad lol , let me know and i can send payment through paypal if thats ok either that or we can speak on the phone like we did last time and i can pay by card Thanks james Matt
-
Cheers for the link and the part numbers had a look through so will order and do them at weekend

Cheers sean do you know what copy of the sprinter it is so i can have a look through mine ? Cheers jonny , i use rainsport 2 at the moment but will change to toyo t1rs when i get it of the road and in to a summer car , can risk have bad tyres in the wet at the moment Also drive pretty hard so 1.5 neg camber is a good compromise i think Jonny pics of said capri or none of us believe you

Hi would you be able to provide the vw plugs that connecet the looms ? I bought a loom of tou and it works great and iv had no problems but i dont like the way the grey spades just plug in to the loom and are left open or have to be taped up as it doesent look stardard because its a pig to tape up with the plug being so big it going straight to a small wire , id like to be able to plug it in and it be water tight like the rest Just a thought let me know cheers Matt
-
Cheers chaps just finished work so will take a look and get some ordered
-
Would be great mate iv used the search but didnt say wich ones to use or how many i needed , iv ordered my red acetate so want to do the clocks at weekend
-
Just rang dealers and they have offered me two types for the clocks , a dim bulb for 2.30 or so and a bright for 5.40 or so !! Can someone confirm the best place to get the bulbs from , and what power i need and how many go in the clocks as i cant remember , ideally i want to order them today so there at home when i get back at weekend
-
Sean can you explain why you only adjust the offside , drivers side ?? Have read bits but never really knew why you would do it like that
-
Nice work on the heater controlls mate ill be off to the garage at weekend with my dremel lol , see if i can fix mine
-
Adding to the cause will be the fact that the handbrake has been on all night and the disks if they have had rain or spray or even of ground them will have made them rust slightly , if your pads are low that won't help as the piston has to push hurt her out to reach the worn disk ! In turn pushing the piston out more and crudding it up more for it then to return back in the the caliper and probably hardening off in there especially if your seals are buggered I'd say cleaning the the carriers with a power tool with a wire wheel on would do the trick and new disk and pads and a caliper rebuild , never heard of carriers wearing out tho
-
You know what I ment lol and I'm in Edinburgh Thursday mate but should be free Sunday so might pop then for a chat and see how your getting on

Sorry to hear about the car mate but glad you got sorted , plenty of people including you have done me massive favours in the past and all I can say is good karma coming round ehh -

Cheers Chris I'm hoping so , I got the subframe and bones of vag hag on here already done so couldn't tell you , I can ask him if you want and it was his choice of colour ! I didn't think it was gonna be at all my thing but it's actually a good colour so I'm now eating my words lol R32 wishbones are meant to sharpen things up that little bit as there a more solid bush I think , I did look in to it when I bought them but I've forgot as if done so much lol Forgot to mention it's got a new home now in a nice garage away from the **** weather
-
Haha yea just need it to grow a little bit more , once the fronts done I'll be after a rear beam to blast and powder coat and rebush , hopefully the car should feel a bit more like it should off the factory line
-
