Ralphead 0 Posted March 2, 2007 Well I thought I'd fixed my camera but everythings a gone bit blue.. So this is my 16v, its a bit worn and a little tatty all round. I'll put it through a mot and go from there. It'll never be a show car as I'll be using it everyday but it should clean up alright. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted March 2, 2007 The rear calipers are notorious for siezing. Best bet is to fit either mk3 or mk4 golf calipers. I used mk4 calipers with a set of goodrich hoses, as the banjo fittings are different than the standard ones. You can pick up mk4 rear calipers for about £60-80 from breakers yards and goodrich hoses are about £35. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ralphead 0 Posted March 3, 2007 Thanks, I'll get some Golf ones and get busy with the copperslip. I've got a Goodridge hose on my push bike (don't laff) and it made a big differance. I sorted the camera so this is what it really looks like... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
