Re: Replace steering rack
And correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing you're having an issue with the center bolt that you have to go at from underneath? If so (mine was a tdi so I'm not sure if it's gonna be the same) it was an absolute pain to get at but I used a long and short extension bar and a universal fitting (for g...

Are these roof bars worth anything?
I have a pair of Thule roof bars to fit cars with roof rails, they have a bit of scraping on the end caps and don't have any keys, the locks have the key number engraved into them so can be ordered from caravan/camping shops or directly from thule or you can just buy a full new set of locks with key...

Yea I popped into the place that does the helicoiling today and they said they drill it out wider and insert a threaded cap so it's the same size thread as before which is better than helicoil so I assume that is what they meant, they said if I book it they can do it while I wait so I may do it next...

What about something like this? Just had a quick look so probably not the right size but would this work and withstand the heat/stay in place?
