  2. An incident what happened to me about 10 years ago, It was my sisters Wedding and i was assisted the duty of keeping a car parking space reserved for someone untill they came back which meant i had to stand in the gap (reverse forward parking) I was 14 at the time so i was standing there leaning again a bollard, and this guy came in a very clean granada mk2 and looked at the space, i said to him it was reserved for someone, but he did not listen he drove forward and reversed into the gap, but he reversed so fast obviously to scare me and it worked i legged it only for him to come crashing into the bollard i was leaning against.......all my cousins were in hysterics it was so f**king hilarious!
  3. Inside the boot behind the right hand panel there is a white solenoid which operates the pin for the fuel flap, when this packs up the fuel flap wont open/close you can manually move it up and down to lock unlock, before you change it have a look around to make sure the pipe aint come off, split.
  4. Depends on the location and the type of bodyshop it is, my brother owns a garage in the same block so we kinda know them, thats why he sorted out a good price for me. Personally i hate the tell tale signs after resprays like overpaint, dodgy paint (orange peel) and cracking filler but i also hate colour mismatch on panels hence i decided to respray the car. I want to go over the yellow paint with thinner and get the crap off!
  5. OUCH! mate i can understand how your feeling, its repairable but gonna be costly, i'm pretty sure new wheel arches can be bought from vw and a 2nd hand door can be aquired. Whats the deal with the insurance was the other guy insured? did he give details?

    Early G60 engine

    or im not 100% sure about this one but, later pg engines had two diagnostics sockets under the gearlever surround so have a look under there if you have a black and white plug than its the later engine.
  12. There is more chance that the track rod ends may need adjusting, what about if one wheel is misaligned so its like / l and by trying to straighten it you will make it like l \ get the tracking sorted first mate cos thats where they make sure both wheels are paralell

    ARB bushes

    what shape is the anti roll bar bush? try one from a vr6 or any other car in the vw audi range which have standard bigger ARB's I know superflex do similar bushes to powerflex but a little cheaper. how comes the wishbones were different did the part numbers match? maybe they fobbed you off with mk2/mk3 items?
