Re: Drivers footwell leak from windscreen vents

Yes weve had experience of this recently but only on the passenger side, drivers side has a lot more stuff hiding the seam. I'll include details of how to do the passenger side in case anyone else wants to know, its fairly easy to remedy, remove the glove box lid & inner glove box compartment, t...

Re: BRAIDED BRAKE HOSE PROBLEM

That's what I was hoping to avoid Paul but looks like what I will have to do, are the unions a standard size ? There is a good car parts shop near me that still make brake lines to order, but I want to make sure they have the correct ends. Also can't for the life of me remember if the lines that run...

Re: MK1 caliper carriers senior moment

I knew the calliper had L & R on it you Dingbat but I can't for the life of me see how the carrier can be sided ? The casting marks are at both sides of the carrier so one is never upside down ??? Cheers jinx
