Don't see many this way on here, I'm in weymouth but mines been off road last 5/6 years
Is yours a resto job then...? Think it will be a few years till this sees the road again as i ride MX so that takes up most of my time oh yeah and my 2 young kids :-S
[/quote] Was rebuilt in 2010, been collecting parts for a v5 conversion since then but A piller rot and few other places has taken it off the road.
Bolt 6 secures the cross member and the rad holder together using part number 3 Bolt 7 secures the cross member etc to the car Bolts 8 go through and secure the bumper.
... as it was cheaper. It’s a bit baggy, it’s designed to for mk1 to 4, and clearly there’s a size difference between models.
But although baggy it’s a good tight fit where it counts, with the elastic around the bottom. Mine is a big bumper model.
I had shows two weeks running and didn’t need to use the car in between. So since it was clean for the first show I decided to keep the bird poop and tree sap from my neighbours tree off it. But as it happens we’ve had some pretty stormy weather so glad I put it on.
I can’t imagine the other two suppliers I looked at would have been much different.
The one draw back I can think of, is out of sight, out of mind. Every time I look out the window or go out of the house it would make me smile seeing the Golf. Obviously it's still very much there but it's hidden. Odd how that plays tricks with you. It's also prevented nipping out and doing the quick 15-30 min jobs. Even though it takes a few seconds to remove and refit it feels like effort - as a result, I've done a lot less National Meet prep than I would normally do.
The rain this past week also hasn't helped with enthusiasm to clean and polish though. But at least I know when I unwrap it Friday morning it should still be clean enough and will be dry inside.
How has it handled the wind, do you have additional straps.
I have a full car set of performance FK suspension struts that I wish to pass on. I took them off an extremely low mileage car some years ago. They are virtually unused and have been stored correctly, ever since. Too heavy to post, so collection only.
Most like the vacuum CL has been ditched for electronic actuators. These are added into the door, possibly these have come loose and jammed the mechanism.
Take the drivers door card off for further inspection.
I have a nextbase dash cam (can't remember model but few years old now) that has WiFi connection for phone. Has gshock sensor for collision detection, (auto locks the files and I think continues recording for a bit) . Was around £100 new. I have added the additional wiring kit that's available so it's hooked up to ignition live
I believe part of the redesign was to make it easier to bleed the calipers.
I think on early calipers they had to be taken off and turned upside down or something like that. That's going by something I read somewhere, so could be absolute ******.
Engine control relay, think it's 30 or 109 iirc, I had one, was pain to diagnose as it could be fine for days then just stop and start when it felt like it
Think it's 30 from memory. But agree can cause intermittent problems
