    Wishbone bushes

    I replaced front and back wishbone bushes, track rod ends and ball joints a few months ago. Bought them all from here http://www.vwspares.co.uk/ they were Lemforder or Febi. Had a nightmare getting one of the front bolts out as it was stuck solid in the metal sleeve. Had to eventually cut it out with a air hacksaw.

  7. I reused my abs rings and have had no problems but i would order new carrier bolts as they will round off. Think they were about £3.20 each.

Hope these give you a better idea of how the sills are put together (built like a tank)The piece in pic 4 had to be removed and reused because it didnt come with my replacement panels which came from a 16v car maybe only used on vr's for extra strength. Its heavier gauge steel than the rest. I have loads more pics so just ask if you want to see any more. Bought the car in August 2012 never drove it till yesterday. Still loads to do but a least its on the road now and not in the scrap yard.

    Saving a storm

    Save it. Mine was much worse than yours and just passed mot yesterday so got to drive it for the first time :) My rear panel was rotten and drivers sill because of a dodgy repair in 2009 when the car was written off. TBH the car should have been scrapped but i wanted a car to retore and keep me busy for a year or 2. I bought the panels from a forum member who made the cuts i wanted. You might find the inner sill is ok as there is 3 sections to sill and the edge of inner sill is strengthened. Tried to post a few pics of striped sill but failed :(
  12. Hi, Interested in both wings if my brother can collect them for me. He's at Potter's Bar which doesn't look far from you. I will try and contact him and let you know.
  13. Hi, is the rear bumper in good condition and does it come with bumper iron and the brackets to attach it to the body. Thanks
  14. Do you not have one of these to plug in on your dash http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Laserline-Car-Alarm-Immobiliser-Override-Electronic-Half-Moon-Touch-Key-Fob-/390682262801?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Safety_Security&hash=item5af67a3d11
  15. Does it have a key to plug into the dashboard ? You should beable to disarm the alarm with it. Also check that the green light on the fog is working, might have a faulty fob. Mine came fitted with the same alarm and only one of my fobs works.
  16. Hopefully will be fitting my new discs and bearings today after picking up new caliper carrier bolts from the dealers. Mine rounded off straight away and had to hammer a socket over the allen bolt to remove them. Might be worth ordering some new bolts and replacing them aswell.
  17. I've found my missing footwell vent so don't need these anymore but i will take the boot popper aswell.
  18. Ok I'll take the gearnob aswell, no need for pics. Still got the footwell vents ? Pm me a price for parts posted please and let me know if or when the other bits i mentioned become available. Thanks
  19. Hi, I'll take the door triangles and footwell vents please. I'm also after the rear bumper mounting brackets and a corner securing clip as mine came with a tow bar fitted. Also need a front seat runner rubber guide. Will the drivers side rear quarter glass be available ? I know they are a bugger to get out. What condition is the gear nob in ? Cheers
  20. Posting please, pm me your paypal details
  21. I will take the vr6 rocker gasket please.
  22. Did you get a price for the postage, i'd be happy with the £6-7.
