Kev, na mate I was just feeling horny lol! To be honest though in 13 years of owning the car I've never replaced a cv joint so thinking I'd hate

to do all this work and then have to scratch/damage the finish off stuff having to do it a few months down the line, and it worked out cheaper to replace the whole shafts rather than separate joints. Plus they'll look sexy ;-)

That's reason enough :D

Chris,

 

I use my local TPS and they even deliver to my work address :)

 

Sensors wise i'd use the ATE ones from euro car parts.

 

Pressure regulator on ebay an ATE item which is basically exactly the same for £65 rather than £180.

I've ordered a selection of clips and things so i'll let you know part numbers when they arrive and look

 

what's TPS???

 

I saw that on eBay last night and was going to ask if it is the same as a Corrado one. Will buy one later.

 

If you could let me know on the clips and stuff that would be great.

 

Do you need to strip your beam and powder coat etc or has it been done already?

 

Are you going standard exhaust too?

Well got home yesterday to a pair of new rear brake caliper carriers :) they look so lovely when they are new :lol: where's the nutter smilie

[tim20vt 0]

great stuff mate,the only bit i didnt do was the carriers and drive shafts,i realy did the parts guys head in searching for every tiny clip washer and screw,i recon panic will set in if the cars outside and it rains :-)

ya cant beat new parts its so easy to get back apart if you need to do anything,are you changing the calipers?

[Butterfly 0]

If you could let me know on the clips and stuff that would be great.

 

Way back when I did my rear beam Kip asked me to buy double of everything... then over time he forgot and has just ordered everything again.

I therefore have loads of bolts & clips and rear bushes which are no use to me... If you are interested in buying them off me let me know and I'll list what I have and name a price :)

Tim, Na just the rear carriers to be honest, i guess if i have problems getting the hoses off them i'll have to sort something but they work spot on touch wood.

Thanks Judith, Your garage must be like a VW parts department!!! I would definately have some of the clips and stuff. Could you bring them to Stanford Hall next week please?

[KIPVW 0]

OK so today my parts man phoned with a price for all the swag i've ordered. :lol:

 

Any Guessing on cost you lot? a prize for whoever gets nearest,

 

All bearings, front/rear pads, rear discs, all bolts nuts washers and bushes, drop links, tie rods, new driveshafts inc CV's, handbrake cables, more clips than i've ever seen,2 new door scraper seals for Nugget,all suspension parts (except dampers which already got) also ordered a new rear windscreen to replace the one that has some bad scratches on (hope that comes, ordered from Germany) and a few other bits and bobs :lol:

 

I'll try and find something new from my spares box for their Corrado for the winner.

 

Nearest Tenner takes it! ;)
