Re: Rear windscreen

McDubber.

I have two gubbed* B3 tailgates complete with (ungubbed**) glass sitting at the side of my driveway.
The neighbours just love me.

If you want one send me a PM.


*Glaswegian for 'rusty and unrepairable'.
**Glaswegian for 'not 'gubbed''.

Re: newbie - oil warning light

Hi blootak. Sorry to read about your oil warning woes. My buzzer and oil light kept giving me heart failure over a period of about two months. The first time it happened the engine was turned off before I had even come to a stop (forgot about the lack of power steering and nearly popped a bicep) and...

Re: My B3 G60 Syncro wagon

Hi Craig.

What a nice motor (not a bit jealous, me :( )!

In regard to the Mk4 rear calipers:
What other parts were needed in the conversion?

Is it an easy job, or a pain in the hole?
