thanks chaps.been mechanic since i was 15,worked on all makes inc air cooled when they were NEW ,once did brakes on split window beetle mecanical ones ,wish i knew what happened to it and could have bought mint notch for £200,nobody wants old school mecanic with 39 years experiance now just spoty 20some things that can plug in diagnostic tool,but they are just fitters not true mechanics.takes experiance to mend something not just bolt on new bits.

Know how you feel fella my worlds turned into black box out black box in (field replaceable units), much prefered the days working on gear 30+ years old granted the 64K processor lived in a sealed clean room the size of the average 2 bed semi 8 meg memory stood 5ft high and an exciter uniter that sits in your palm now was a 19" cabinet standing 6ft high :lol:

Sorry to hear the bad news, but onwards and upwards the mobile vw could be a winner?
