    When the seals on the slave fail the fluid ends up inside the bell housing and the drips on the floor (mine did this, prior to this sometimes the clutch pedal stuck to the floor), when the seals fail in the master the fluid returms to the reservoir. it could also be a cracked clutch fork inside thebellhousing. you could still have air in the line

    I can only find AYL engine code for the Galaxy on ebay, the side shot on this listing shows 2 VVT solenoids so VVT on both cams http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AYL-V6-2-8-Motor-204PS-VW-Sharan-SEAT-Alhambra-FORD-89Tkm-MIT-GEWAHRLEISTUNG/181944855944?hash=item2a5cc22d88:g:vdUAAOSwHQ9WWYKi

    In America they got the VR6 engine in 2WD form in a MK4 VR6 (non 4motion), do their inlets fit our engines (the throttlebodys are different for sure so would need adapting). Has anyone looked into it previously?

    What cost a litre of oil every 1K miles or a £3-4K pro rebuild? If it drives OK and passes the MOT emissions why bother?

    If the oil stem seals are the originals (20 years old) then they will be hard, cracked and worn. There are three piston rings, compression, oil control and a scraper, you can have good compression and burn oil too if the oil control rings are worn, broken or gummed up with carbon. The compressions are quite good suggesting the bores aren't oval.

    He says the bottom chain has snapped

    Or put a piece of rag in the chains to jam the sprockets? Don't hold me liable if you bend valves if the engine's no longer timed

    Stripped some 312s today Note the dark line between the backing and the friction material - its actually a crack. After a light tap with a screwdriver, note the rust that was beneath the friction material forcing it off

    So what did you find wrong with the brakes then?

    That's down to the later 02j tower / shifter, which can be retro fitted to an 02A using polo shift housing parts

    MK4 would have a 195 65 15 tyre, compared to a 205 50 15 for a MK3 / Corrado, so driving a MK4 wont give same revs at the given speed as your own car. V5 box is well rated by some track day folk. I have an EJS box, 10V V5 with no shift tower for £30

    I bought a Seat Toledo with the same issues, these were non genuine pads, the glue used to bond the fiction material on had caused the backing metal to rust and push off the friction material. Citroen AX / saxo 3 stud rear drums suffer in the same way and cause the rear wheel to lock up at speed
