SHE LIVES!!! :D got her back on the road today and boy am i happy... ive been driving a mk4 tdi automatic since mines been off the road so its great to be back in a v6 where i get to choose the gears (the way it should be) 1st and 5th are a little notchy but i think thats cos i havent adjusted the selector cables to perfection yet. the only small problem was of my own making really... for my test drive i forgot to reconnect the outside temp sensor and when i came back i found it lying outside my house where the cables had torn out, so theres another job lined up:/ anyway BIG BIG thanx to u
