Cheers for your help guys, and to let you know ive had some great news, they guy whos got the car has got it running today so seems to be no probs. Duno where the info he came up with did. Im pretty much on track with how things work and rebuild through doin my mk2 gti. I was a lil confused when he said it so thought id ask sum experts. I think he was trying to put me off as he's quite into doing conversions and wants it for himself as i got it dirt cheap. Also whilst were on, any1 got any ideas on car transportation from manchester to middlesbrough as the cars sorn.......cheers agen
