Yeah. Used locking kit. So all is good. I heard gates was good plus about half the price of a vw kit.

Thanks. Nice to know its done as you want. plus saves a shed load of money. That has to be good. Right?

get the car scaned. thats the first thing to see which sensor is playing up and to see if its one for the sensor rings thats dirty and demaged.

spent today stripping the front of the car down to renew the timing belt and water pump .I went with a Gates kit in the end as was told good quality.so thats ok for another 60,000mile \:D/ http://i819.photobucket.com/albums/zz112/gortex0/8D3FED98-03D1-4B63-AEA4-0834BC77E9A5-572-0000002E90AE5CE1_zps1...

Iam liking the chrome mirror covers.

Fair play to you lad. That looks great
I take it the front seats just dropped in.

Sweet as dude.

I bought a cheap kit of eBay last August. And with in 5 weeks one of the drop links had gone from the car X( all that was left was the bolts and the rubber bushes. It's on the car 6months now and I'am looking to renew it again as its feels bad and I'am not happy with them. One things for sure it not...

What make of a kit do they do?? And at what cost for a full kit??

If its a 6 speed check the how-two

Just make sure when you fit the new pinch bolt you cover it in copper grease.

Sweet.

Did you use a timing belt locking kit?? Or did you just mark with tipEx ?

Speed holes yeah.
