Enjoyed reading that. I'm sure most people have been through the same as those stories! Me included, yes it needed work but the garage said £500 to get it through an MOT, add another 0 and double it...

I've always had issues with Hermes. Not just delivery from me but stuff I'm receiving also. I always just use TNT or CityLink and till now no issues at all.

Its passed the MOT but not Pete Nice!

Cheers Kev! Just needed the headlights adjusting and oddly both outer rear wheel bearings are gone, even though they've only done about 60 miles.

I was quite surprised how much heat is kicked out! As I've wired them open for the moment I had to drive with the front vents/windows open! That a without the rubbers for the above pipes as no heat wrap!

Just testing with the dropbox app. Copy link, inserted it as an image and I don't see the image above, just a little box. I wonder if you could share the image from dropbox to the Photoshop app to get a correct link for boards?

From my experience a couple of years a go no, they come up full size on dropbox. I ended up having to use photobicket to upload photos at a board friendly size. Maybe they have changed it, but with my new phone I get Google drive which I've found to be also as useless so still have to use...

I can't believe its been so long since I last posted! no internet at home at the moment so no pics, but one major piece of news is that it passed the MOT on Monday. WOO HOO! :D :D A lengthy update as soon as the internet is back up. So f%£?ing happy!

It's ok if you let your tyre down to the right pressure. Not sure if this will help as I have discs up front now, but I had terrible trouble bleeding my breaks last few weeks, about 3-4 hours in total. It was because the calipers were on the wrong sides so the cyclinder was at the bottom and...

I think the part is youre referring to is called a kick panel. http://www.alanhschofield.com/ourparts/prod_2401342-Geunine-VW-Brazil-Front-Inner-Kick-Panel-211805331DB.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Sold out I know, but I'd have thought every one would sell them.

Thanks Matt and Paul, I've given Pete a call so just waiting for a call back. I did some more looking tonight and when you unplug the bulb holders and earth it they flash. My understanding is that they should be earthed in that scenario, so it's almost as though the flasher unit is sending a...

Could you not just Google a translation site and copy/paste?

As you have the old box still. I bought a C and just put all the fuse holders in the C from the A as there is the same amount of spaces. As said before the A ones are not made as well as the B's and C's. I think it was a design fault identified by VW very early after production.

So with the fact it's a switched earth the oil late comes and goes when you start the vehicle but the generator light stays on. However, now they work(?) The indicator lights don't work. I think it might be time to get an auto-electrician in :( Any one know a decent one in Croydon, Surrey?

Cheers guys. I'll have another look at the wiring tonight. I get it's a switched earth so maybe it's wrong at the engine? The lights, indicators all work ok. I'm using normal bulbs, not sure if I replaced those particular ones though.

Hi all, We finally have the engine back in and it seems to be spot on. However we cannot work out why the Oil Light and Generator Light don't come on on ignition. I have replaced the entire loom and up until yesterday all the lights, indicators, horn etc worked perfect. The only thing we have...

Privatejobs has one of these fitted and the difference is insane. I believe it is from a Corsa B. My brother got me the steering from the Corsa C but it won't work in the same way. The only thing I don't like about it is you have to move the horn off the steering wheel as the column is solid...
