I got a upper inlet and exhaust gaskets from eBay and I have to say I was pretty chuffed with the quality. Although mines not going to be a daily sow asnt the end of the world if they weren't. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
A new dmv should be good for 100k they reckon so should be fine. Weird about the SMF conversions I just googled it and a couple came up, one on ebay @ £450 and one from a specialist @ £600. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Chains supposedly at 90k I think but generally you can hear if they're rattle and need changing. Just check the thing all over for tin worm, sills, arches, floor, etc. I'm sure there's some good guides around. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Apparently that new hudl from tescos is supposed to be good for the money.
Although I don't think tablets are particularly good for work, get a laptop for that..
EDIT: and as above I'm no apple can but once I got on a IPad I've never looked back. Again not for work though.

Well the coil packs are prone to failure, but I think that normally causes missing rather than total loss. Quite often the casing cracks. I'm no expert but if you search coil packs on here I'm sure there's a wealth of info. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free
I tend to think if it was really that beneficial everyone would be have done it already? But then I'm a sceptic! Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free
Is yours coil pack or dizzy?? My old dizzy one got wet once and the ignition coil died. Cheap and cheerful fix if it's that.
Best to post your spec engine and exactly where the rac guy tested the spark from.

There's a guy who runs a mk2 Jetta in the vwdrc that used to have a FWD r32 DSG (now manual) setup so definitely possible. Surely a case of blanking off the rear diff on the box? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free
I think the bottom line is it's not cheap. Even with second hand parts. There's some discussion over cheap ebay turbo kits going on at the moment that mite be worth you reading.
