Today i replaced the gearbox oil with some Red Line MT90.

 

Sweet shiftting! :)

 

The 2nd gear no longer crunches!!

 

I should have done this a long time before!

 

I strongly reccomend all 02A gearbox owners to do the same! :)

yesterday: tried to fit the new fuel pump I got from VW...

Today: went to shout at the VW parts person who supplied me with the wrong fuel pump/ didn't supply me with the updated level sender even though I'd asked if I needed it as well... :roll:

Later: will refit new pump with new senders and wiring and hopefully get her running properly again... 8)

Washed it again as it had a bit of dust on it :oops:

 

Cleaned the inside of all the wheels, polished rear silencer (as you can see it through the rear wheel) hoovered it out, cleaned and fed the leather on my momo wheel and door cards...

 

It's now anally clean and has just started being rained on :roll:

Well last week I took my old spare set of injectors and remoced the end cap to them, then saturday, pressed the endcaps onto some new bosch injectors off the bay and fitted them to my rado. Doesn't seem to have made any difference to the driving side of things, and haven't had a chance to see if they've improved the starting yet, so that was a little dissapointing.

 

Then borrowed a set of sprong compressors and changed the rear shocks, realising that I should have bought several more items than just the shocks, nevermind, they all went together with the crappy old caps and protectors on. Not pretty, but she goes round corners properly now!! 8)
