Strange, those tw@#s usually give any info away, for a meagre £2.50 and a packet of pork scratchings!

Good luck with the search fella :thumleft:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Split rims

when i had mine refurbed a year and a half ago they used some special sealant and it leaked twice. they tried a standard sealant and its still perfect now.
if your split rims are a 3 piece (like mine) its not just about the sealant but how well, and evenly the bolts are torqued. :thumleft:

Really nice and honest guys there. Mapping cost me £400(but this included the fitting of an uprated fuel pump)

that an in-tank pump? good price if so.

Re: Bedding in Engine after Rebuild.

with the absence of aftermarket gauges and power fc's etc. though, how do you monitor fuel and oil pressure?

i'm sure the oil light would come on/or not go off is something is amiss there but do you just trust that? and what about fuel. :-k
