now all the gears have been blasted and cleaned its obvious it used to go santapod lol! pitting on 3rd and 4th gears so had to replace them....but the gearset i got them from had maching 1st and 2nd gears so i thought id replace them too, better dog teeth on all them gears so rude not to! should be ready to drop in casings by friday. but saturday is gonna be taken up with welding exhaust up for MOT, and removing the 'suitcase' silencer and modding my mk2 backbox to fit - more noise!! wish i could spend a couple of days on just my car :-( . moving on slow
mine need doing for MOT, now i kno that the standard ones are an animal to get in and out, but searching thru the old posts on here some people have said that powerflex http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/POWERFLEX-REAR-BUSH-KIT-VW-GOLF-MK3_W0QQitemZ270410859063QQcategoryZ40192QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp2773.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%252BC%252BP%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BIEW%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BP%252BIIUM%26otn%3D21%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54 ones are jus a slide in fit. is this true? if so has anyone got opinions on them? cos would be cheaper for me to fit these, than get standard ones and pay to g

no.1...... someone on here used a drain plug off of a polo i think, it used an allen key so didnt poke out as much as the standard bolt one...but i cant be sure wot it was...was it a polo? which engine/year? i want one cos mine ground to f*ck!! no.2.....found my oil leak, its dripping off the bottom of the cooler. robbed a pic off of annavr6's rebuild for this lol ive never taken this off so wots behind it? im assuming i undo that bolt in middle, it comes away from the block, fit a new o ring between the block and it and bolt it back on....is this correct? will it fix the leak? only leaks
