  1. Depends on mileage, condition, spec etc etc Basically it will be worth what your willing to spend
  2. Are you bothered about a blue or green storm?
  3. Which side of the engine is it so I konw what I'm looking for? If you send me your email address it will be easier too.
  4. Thanks, I'll allow 4 weeks to get them ordered. My other orders were through Nick Bitton I think it was. Chris Lees will be the account name.
  5. Do you know what the delivery time is please? I want them but because of other things I need to get I'm trying to work on a 'just in time' basis!! Wish I new earlier there was a forum discount, I've just bought a couple of parts from VW heritage.
  6. I was thinking of entering the car, Its not far from standard.
  7. Brilliant Anna, cant wait to see what engine bay bits I can get. Can you still get the radiator guides for a VR6? one of mine has been cut for an induction kit and a replacement one I bought turns out to be missing the rubber edge!
  8. Thanks James, makes me feel a bit better if thats the colour it should be, the bonus was it came with the cap!!
  9. Definately going this year (if the car is ready).
  10. Got some new bits from VW heritage today: Not sure about the power steering bottle though as I expected it to be whiter, its more a green colour?
  11. Thanks chaps, Engine is definately coming out but I think I'm going to leave the clutch and chains in place this year, get some cams for next winter and do it all then. I think the costs of what I've got planned on the cleaning side will use my budget.
  12. My plan was / is to put the 263's in but not going to happen this year so will do the chains/guides then. Can the chains/guides be done with the engine in the car?
  13. Its whats behind the engine, the gearbox and the subframe that needs sorting. The croosmember is still as good as when I fitted it last year.
  14. How did you manage to drop the starter motor on your nose??????? My car is on 67k miles, is it worth changing the clutch and water pump?
  15. Brilliant thanks. Its a VR6 engine. Does the flywheel need to be split to get the gearbox off or does it just unbolt and pull apart please?
  16. Amazing condition but would prefer the mini he has for sale
  17. Does anyone know if there is an engine removal guide anywhere or if anyone can give me some pointers? anything tricky? Also, does the gearbox come away from the engine easy? Any help greatly appreciated.
  18. small update, basically the car hasn't moved since the end of September other then a wash a couple of weeks ago. Had a couple of nights free and this is how the car stands now: Looks familiar, hope I havent started this too late..... First show will be Elsecar in April.
  19. Cheers for that, never realised you could still get them. Anyone want a decent but not perfect 50mm splitter lol!
  20. Just seen an advert for this and looks ridiculous.
  21. Just seen this Matt, I think I might have one somewhere if you dont get sorted
  22. So can I buy a new 50mm splitter then? Is the vr6 air filter lid / whole air box available?
  23. Thanks Michael, at least I know know exactly where the headlight angle sticker goes!! So many wires under the bonnet its so difficult I think to get it looking really neat and tidy, your doing a great job though.
