    Rear view mirror update, what a bunch of locshite! It lasted while there was no mirror attached to it, soon as the mirror was on it was like 2 seconds and fell off, total crap, 6 fcukin quid aswell for a tiny vial of it. I've tiger sealed it on now, I'll see how that's gonna hold up after its cured overnight. The original adhesive I scraped off the screen and button looked and felt a lot like it, so I'm hopeful

    Headliner finished and anything that was wrong in the process sorted now too, all back in and fitted. That sunroof finishing strip around the perimeter was a bastard to get back on but looks good now it is. And the plastics that were white to begin with look pretty good too, they match the black visors and handles perfectly, that was a white centre sun visor. The gold coloured screws for the sun visors bugged me somewhat though, but the old black nail varnish sorted them out.

    Tell me about it, I want to finish this up already

    I've fitted the headliner now, but the handles didn't sit right like the others at the back, found that they have little spacers in them for if you have a sunroof. Got some of these spacers and some other trim clips form a scrapper that broke when I removed the trims, and sprayed them up and glued them into the rear handles, they sit nice now. Just waiting for the rain to stop again, so in the meanwhile I'm doing any other bits that needed doing. I've taken the rear cards out and glueing some foam in places and round wires to stop annoying rattles etc. And the rear view mirror button fell of

    Can't wait to see the handles finished

    Yea check your crack pipe and thermostat housing at the seals and their surrounding areas for signs of a leak

    Lift the boot carpet and at the right there is a round access cover, take it off and stick your ear to it and see if it really is the fuel pump making the sound

    If its dry I'll have a go tomorrow, don't want watermarks before its even go e in lol I got the black handles and visors from someone off here

    I got impatient and put the sunroof blind back in, couldn't wait any more I needed to see what it looked like haha, I tell you it was a tense moment trying to get it past the silver cross brace without shaving any paint off the freshly painted plastic bit lol

    So, I got bored and got the hairdryer out and I've put 2 or 3 more coats on and its looking pretty uniform and a darker shade of black now, and all the parts are the same shade. I've re-assembled the sun blind too. This is how I fixed the plastic part back in, tiny little screws and cup washers with dots of super glue on them. 1 on the top the bloody screw snapped so I hot glued on it but its solid with all the other screws in place anyway. And in a moment of total OCD I painted the tops of them all with black nail varnish. This is the stuff I used, don't know how they got Jessie J to do

    some of them are funny buggers, others may sell to you, but I don't think any of them will post to you, you have to go to their depot

    I removed it from the sun blind, ill screw and glue it back on. Also sprayed my centre visor Really happy with the colour match with the visors and oh shit handles The headliner seems to have dried really patchy, though it says on the tin it will do that and you have to lay down 1 coat then even it out when its dried, weird stuff its gone really sticky when its drying, says it takes 72 hours to fully dry and colour lock so may be a while before I get it back in if it takes 3 days between and it pisses down every day

    got started making my headliner and the associated plastics black, I decided to dye mine rather than recover as they always start to sag eventually. First coat on the material pieces. And I've finished the sunroof cover and interior light I'm quite happy with the result of the light, the other little pieces aren't finished yet. I'm also getting a flat battery quite quickly, I haven't used the car much in the past maybe 4 weeks and thought it had just drained, I checked the alternator and that's working properly and the battery is a 1yr old Bosch S5 so isn't likely to be the issue either t

    a 5bar gauge would be no good for a VR6, they see higher than 5bar
  16. Lukey.
    yea they will fit any VAG, the carrier would be the only difference to move it to the 312mm position instead of 288
  17. Lukey.
    theres a check to see if your car is OBD1 or 2 thread in either the maintenance or hangout forum
  18. Lukey.
    they come out behind the bumper on my golf too
  19. Lukey.
    ring your local TPS and see if they still do an exchange price for your old one, should take the price down loads if they still do
  20. Lukey.
    it looks identical to even the 288mm calliper, they are both 312mm brake cars so the calliper is going to be identical, if you look on ebc website they even take the same part no's
  21. Lukey.
    ring your local TPS and see if they are still doing a swap basis sale on them, i got a gen VW one for £50 when they should have been £120 due to them taking my old one in part ex

    the straightforwardness would also have to take into account that your crack pipe didnt crack while you were pulling it off the end of it
  24. Lukey.
    First thing I thought before I'd finished reading the full post was maf issue, unplug the maf and see if it gets worse or stays the same
  25. Lukey.
    thats pretty much what you do to get air out
