  1. Alright mate I am no expert but i fitted samco hoses to my car I had 7 but only fitted the 5 you have pictured can not find the other 2 for the life of me. they are fairly streight forward to work out which goes where when your taking the old ones out. good luck with it. If yo find where the last two little ones go let me know mate.

  2. Thanks very much mate I had missed the 8mm screw. I had undon the three for the locking mechanism but missed that one. The pin took some bending to get it in the right position for the hook on the polo mk4 handles, did you have to bend your pin ass well. CHEERS MATE

  3. alright all the handle on the passenger side of my vr (97 eleci windows) does not open the door.I managed to get it to open to look at the lock, but can not get it out as there is a metal runner running from top to bottom with a silver wire behind it. the bar is held on by two 10mm nuts undid them but the bar would not move so can not get the lpock out. tryed putting it back together and the nuts will not go back. Any help with either prob welcomed i know its probably real simple but i cant work it out.cheers

  4. Alright all just wondered if anyone can shed some light on this for me. I have some porsche boxster wheels to put on my car the fronts are 7x 17 et55 the rears are 8.5x17 et 50 i had a look on the calculator at the top of this page and got back inner clearance 34mm less and outer extended 4mm and the fronts inner clearance 20mm less and outers retracted by 20mm. I guess this means I need 20mm adapters on the front what would you recomend for the backs 30mm or 35mm anyone done this and knows any advice would be great cheers all sorry for rattling on just want it perfect first time.

  5. Wanted to smooth the boot of my car does anyone have any advice or tips how to go about this. Like how is the rear spoiler attatched and the best way to remove it. also does anyone know where to get the gromits from to blank off the rear wiper hole. Any advice muchly appreciated. Cheers

  6. Thanks for the reply Ill be getting one from the ford dealers then. Took me a while to reply as I bought a manifold cover to polish up. I fitted it and the car would not start after much trying to find the problem it turns out the manifold i polished and put on had some packaging from postage stuck in it which was sucked into the engine. Resulting in no combustion in 5 out of 6 cylinders. In the garage now estimated repair bill of £550.Anything you would recomend doing/ replacing whilst the engine is stripped down? Thanks again for the reply . Ill be on the bus monday morning to the ford dealers.

  7. alright mate just read through these comments and had a look at your car looks good to start from. I have got a set of bbs alloys with tyres on was looking for a set like you have. ones I have are in good condition and have tyres on let me know if intrested maybe in a swap. Unfortunatly im not so good on a computer only have one at work and not really meant to use it so cant get pics up.
