turned out that it was the ignition switch as the 1 from gsf (£12.48) was not the right type, got 1 from volksbits in brum for £4.79 and sorted problem. it seems the volksbits 1 has a longer centre plunger/actuator in the switch so when the ignition key is operated the barrel actuator pin makes a ...

well got on to it today and first good news was no spline adapter to remove as ive got a momo steering wheel and hub so fits straight onto column so only took 10 mins to remove original switch, then the bad news, new switch doesnt work at all so had to put original back on and touch wood it seems be...

picked up new switch today and got all tools from work to have a go at tomorrow, ill report back on results

Should be a 10 amp(red) fuse if that helps narrow it down

Excuse my ignorance but by spline adapter do you mean the adapter that the steering wheel fits to at top of steering column, if so I presume I need to remove the ignition barrel casting from column to access removal of switch.

Cheers maclee it is as you say no2 so I'll check switch, thanks but I'll probably change both so as to hopefully eliminate future issues

My ignition key is that worn I'm now having trouble starting car, sometimes it starts first turn other times I have to wiggle the key for several minutes to get it to catch,so the question is as obviously the key is to worn to make a decent new one,what is the easiest option to cure starting problem...

sorted,after stripping out head unit,clocks,center console switches, found ciggy lighter has an internal short so just a case of unplugging and now all good.

I'd say that the £150 one has issues that are not a quick fix as the original ad did state it had been stood for several years, and then it was bought and not sorted but price hike is a big one

That's what I thought, I'll get on it this week.

Central locking, interior lights,clock fuse has started blowing, changed for new fuse with key out of ignition and blew again straight away, any ideas what the cause could be, only seems to have started since speedo lights started working again, as they haven't been for the past 2 years

I'd ask seller to put it in for mot just so you're aware of any problems and cost,especially as previous owner said it had been stood for few years, I'm sure for cost of mot whether it passes or fails it would be money best spent before paying his asking price.

Yeah that's me,b4 with subaru blue mica body with black magic roof and graphite grey alloys , only live round the corner so I'm always in the area.

As title but needed for a 2003 golf,are they same as passat if so what will fit. Thanks

I got brand new b4 ones in the end for £24 for all 4, ebay.I think seller was called German carparts,they're based in Malvern Worcester.
Ps fronts drag everywhere so going to take them off.

As title really, looking on ebay and they are cheap so possibly looking at fitting to my wagon, has anyone tried to fit them and if so which model fits best,thanks

Euro cat £37 and they're ceramic inside so internals knock straight out;-)

oh and first thing you want to do is knock the cat inners out,but remember to leave outer box in place for m.o.t

mk4 golf seats fit in front with small mod and theyre more readily available and cheaper and more comfy than mk3, i picked a complete set up from a bora in mint condition for £10 from ebay last year.rears are obviously more fiddly to fit.

approx how big is bonnet, will it fit inside b4 estate or will it have to go on roof

My mate lives in hall green and I'm coming down to Clevedon beginning of September what you need maybe able to help.

To check if seals are passing in cylinder, operate clutch pedal and get someone to check if fluid level in bottle rises, if it does then seals in master cylinder ate passing. Cheaper to replace clutch than master and slave cylinder if you do it yourself as each cylinder is about £50.

the metal runner was available from vw/tps a couple of years ago for £11 so might be worth trying them

just seen furniture clinic kit, looks like the favorite so far thanks
