Im bored of the standard 15's on my car but i dont know what wheels i want yet. Been looking on loads of forums for a while and have'nt found some that i really like or can afford! Seen these and thought they were'nt bad for the price till i decide on what wheels i really want. Should i get em or just keep standards on till i decide? http://www.potn.co.uk/dezent-v-silver_c1_5814_64996.htm

Thanks goth. Ive got new bolts to secure the housing to the head. Its the ones that actually hold the housing together i need. The kit i got from ebay did'nt come with new bolts and the ones on the old stat are seized up. I reckon its these im after? 'stat cover: N100 922 01 (M6x40) and N014 703 5 (M6x18) -

TT comps suit it better imo but like everybody says there too common now. Are the tsw's Pace? Like them lenso's, do they do them in 5x100 now? Anybody on here got them on their mk3?
-
seems v good value as it includes a crack pipe as well. i think you'll still need this seal ( seal to join to head - 021 121 119A - £2.28 + vat ) as I can't see it listed and it isn't an O ring. Where can i get the seal mentioned above? cant seem to find it :@
-
Thanks for the help...i'm gonna do it myself but get the old man to help out. The part numbers you mentioned, can i use them on gsf website?
-
Good stuff....better go buy my dad a few pints and drop a few hints then :-p
-
Ok cheers, think i'll order that kit then + the seal. Is the kit quite easy to fit? The old man is a mechanic so i'll see if he can do it! lol

Just been out in the car, got it up to good running temp, parked on a slight hill and left the engine running......its dripping!! its quite alot so at least its not the head gasket!! It seems to be leaking near the thermostat area, is the any pipes near that area that could be leaking or will it be the thermostat?? Would i be better getting it on a ramp to have a look underneath?
-
It has abit of steam when i first start it up. It normally goes after a few minutes though. I've heard the oil cooler mentioned before, where exactly is it and how would i check it?
-
Someone on ed38 mentioned that it could be the thermostat housing thats causing the leak, has anybody else had this??
-
Need some help! Yesterday coolant light was flashing on dash so checked the level and its was far to low so topped it up. No sign of leaks, checked oil dipstick and cap...no white mayo. The engine was cold when i did this. Today on the way home from work, light started flashing again so got home and checked coolant. It was really low again! No signs of leaks...checked cap...mayo white cap this time....dipstick was fine. This time the engine was hot. The engine is not overheating though, temp gauge stays halfway on short and long jouneys. Any ideas?? Thanks.
