Also, Vacuum Cleaner Self Service is easier to understand than Staubsaugerselbstbedienung.

Umm, yep. That's true.

went out to spin mine over - couldn't, battery flat again. Bugger.

[stain 13]

Sailed through the MOT and ordered a new AFM

[farmer 327 1 Cars]

Got it out of the shed and gave it's first wash of 2014.

 

Really pleased on how the new trim looks out in the light, money well spent

 

Still to fit the front arch trim and front bumper in the next month, ready for the 1st May

What happens on the 1st May??? Is the sun coming out for the day.

 

I will be on the road hopefully before then. Rear beam to fit and refit interior then out for a drive.

[farmer 327 1 Cars]

Wishful thinking in Scotland anyway.

 

Putting it on the road then as I have a busy April at work to tax any earlier.

 

Did Andy sort you a rear beam ?

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Did engineering.

Allye whats that servo off is it your original one?

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Servo is a base model 205 item as they are smaller in diameter (not depth though) than GTI's, that's to make way for the clutch master cylinder.

[Slo 283 1 Cars]

Ahh right only reason i ask is my old rusty 1.6 was tiny but quite deep and i replaced it with a 2nd hand one that looks identical to yours and the guy told me he thought it was from a saxo but wasnt sure. As it turned out it was perfect for shoe horning a turbo lump around it.

[allye 530 3 Cars]

To be honest there really isn't much in it, I needed it though. It has no affect on the brakes, I ran a smaller one on both my GTI6 engined cars with 1.9 brakes and was great.

That's good you have sorted the beam.

 

Two weeks and we start, not long

 

 

Painted area above fuel tank and bent up the new fuel pipes.

 

Tom did you bend those pipes by hand?

What kind of paint did you use Tom??

 

I will be doing this same job next week minus the fuel pipes i hope.

Finished these-

 

 

 

Not too shabby considering they were a mixture of colours and the long one was snapped in two places.

[acox99 71 1 Cars]

Removed front left wishbone bushes, blasted wishbone, hub and all parts of the top mount and disc.

 

Looked at started cleaning spring. Hunger got the better

 

Went home.

Fitted the front door cards and I'm actually happy with the fit at the top! I have drunk a bottle of wine whilst in the garage mind

 

Fitted my paragonpug 'rare,original,awesome,205,dimma' Ariel! Not quite so pleased with that as it's nothing like the original one I removed. It's not corroded with a snapped off thread though so I rekon I'll cope.

Oil change today!

 

The weather was excellent: warm and sunny, so the CTI was topless most of the day. Bring on the summer!

You said you wanted to raise your suspension but that's just ridiculous!
