  3. OK so it's not a VW but I know we all would like at least one of these in our fantasy garage.... I must admit all would do me except the 1st one...
  4. yes mate I have... Got a charger going in One final thing when you use the metal ties put them on so when you pull them they are in the same direction as your wrap so they help tighten and not loosen the wrap. --- If you see what I mean. Wel mine is all done so just gotta fit it now
  5. Not quite finished yet.... [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1170947763_4100_FT156697_dsc00047.jpg][/lightbox] [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1170947763_4100_FT156697_dsc00054.jpg][/lightbox] [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1170947763_4100_FT156697_dsc00055.jpg][/lightbox]
  6. OK So have begun the quest. Here are some personal observations... I think the length of roll should be ok - Just I was short of clips.. others have survived I was short by 3! I found the dificult area was where the 2 of sections where the 3 pipes join together. The wrap wants to go natuarally in opposite directions due to the contours of the pipe... You'll see what I mean.. So I wrapped the six legs first off and got as close to the centre of this section as possible. I then went to the other end of the pipe and came back up the length to where they then branch back off to 3 again. This le
  7. not yet but only at 60k. I will be doing it when the time comes - clutch at the same time as well. It aint worth the risk of a new engine

  13. shame that would have been good. It will have to be GSF; but thanks for looking - appreciate it...
  14. The sun always shines in Oban... Unless you go out fishing lol .... Oban is another one of those places where it always shines. you just watch the weather forcasts. Gails all round and sun in Oban. Hartlepool is the same - tho' think that may have something to do with the Nuclear Power Station!
  15. need an oil cooler to... can you match GSF £35+vat Do they both have all the gaskets & seals etc included ??? If so why not
  16. OK so Almost time to fit S/c. I am going to replace my oil cooler as the temp is a little high for my liking (GSF £35+vat)... and as I sprung a leak this week. I have also to do my Aux. Waterpump (GSF £65 + vat). I have a new Zorst manifold and of course with fitting the s/c I will take the chance to replace the rocker cover as it can be a little weepy on occasion and also the same for the sump gasket! So where is best to get these from just GSF? Any coments on upgrades? Cheers
  17. http://www.thescirocco.com/peloquin.html Way down the bottom...
  18. did you guys replace the exhaust gasket ?????
  19. Ouch.... GSF £65+VAT includes the gasket... Anything else needed? Seals etc etc????
  20. Ok so I've been hunting my coolant leak and today I found it.. the area in question is on the right hand side of the engine and is below the collection of wires that are on that top corner... There are a mass of pipes linking in... There is a short what looks like metal pipe dropping vertically and below this 2inch lenght of pipe I have my leak.... I will hopefully add a couple of photos. one to show where it is below and second showing the leak.. the pipe on the right white colour is vertical just my picture wouldn't rotate.. and you can see the wetness [lightbox=../../e107_files/public/11
