Yeah collection if that's ok dude. Happy to have a trip to your lock up whilst I'm there if your having a clear out and at these sort of prices! :thumbleft:

Oh and space saver too please. Can you PM me details and I can pay now or on collection which will probably be next w.end if that's ok? Thanks mate.

Rear beam, front hubs, and arb please rams! Are the drive shafts still attached to the cvs?

Not sure tbh. It has been mentioned on here before I think so a Google search may help you better.

Think it's the eaton M45 on the mini, which is apparently a little small so not much to be had by way of tuning. The eaton M62 from the slk? Is apparently more suited and a better option for tuning potential should you wish in the future.

They won't ship individual parts is why. They'll wait for a large amount to save themselves charges. I ordered from ARZ Tuning a few weeks back and granted, it was almost £30 delivery charge, but was with me within 48 hours.

I don't have cams and my exhaust is very quiet. When I bought the car the bottom half of the airbox had been butchered to death, but I put up with it for a short while because it sounded great! I then fitted a new (old) but good condition standard one, and thought I'd developed a problem as I couldn't hear the v6 burble, and it felt a little underpowered or less responsive to the point I thought it was missing on a Cylinder. It couldn't be anything else, so I put a BMC CDA on and it instantly returned to what I was used to. This way I'm not embarrassed if someone pokes their head in my bay a notices a gaping hole where the bottom of the airbox should be either! But tbf, it rivalled the BMC for sound.

Bit fiddly but not too difficult if you have a vice. Just give it a good smash with a mallet which should break the retaining circlips hold on the drive shaft.

Gutted for you mate. Worth sticking the other lump in? Just tell the missus you want to take it off the road for the winter to preserve it, and put a new lock on the garage! That way you can do it slow time and she'll be none the wiser! :twisted:

That's the one, yeah I'd recommend them too. Good service! :thumbleft:

Ignition switch or starter motor would be my guess. If you have a multimeter church for voltage at the starter when you try to turn it over. It could be immobiliser if it's an aftermarket system, so worth ruling that out too, but the factory immobiliser will allow the car to start for a second or 2, then cut out.

For your sake I hope it's correct, didn't come cheap!

No worries mate. Try VW spares Rob. It's the same company.

Ah, just read your sig, probably worth repairing I think.

Which wheels, and did they give you a quote for repair? I had one done which cost me (well, the previous owner) £70. If it's a speedline, they occasionally come up on eBay relatively cheap, but you won't know the true state of it tbh. Your call I guess.........

The sealant is for use on fibre only Rob, although I don't think it hurts on the rubbers tbh mate.

I ordered the wrong gAsket by mistake from AVS last year which was the fibre one Rob, so the gaskets (albeit aftermarket) can still be had too.

Excellent, thanks Em!

Yours being an early VR Rob, isn't it a fibre gasket? What's on there now? There's a groove along the sump where it meets the gasket/block that the rubber gasket fits in to, you'll know when you remove it mate.

If you can put it back on until everything goes for powder coating Rob, I'd do the sump too. It won't cost much more than a tin of hammerite anyway.

Just keep an eye out. I got a Silver one in good knick for £26 to my door.

I need 7 and 8 too.......

Pretty sure it shouldn't spin. The captive nut is bonded into the box so spinning means it's not retaining properly. One of mine did this but I manage to pull the box out without doing too much damage. I had to plastic weld it back in place afterward though. The hardest part I found was removing the top two dash nuts, access under the scuttle, specifically the drivers side one as the wiper linkage is in the way. Very fiddly and hard to get to with a ratchet. You may have more luck with a flexible extension, but mine were quite well corroded on so the flexi just kept bending out of shape. Managed it in the end but very frustrating!

Take it the viewing went well then?

Its a quote Chris Kamara makes to Goeff Stelling on sky sports James. Quite a well known saying to football fans who watch Soccer Saturday.
