Well my mk1 is not running right at the mo, went to no rice and a couple of days later it started to cut out as if it was running out of fuel, this was bad as i was hoping to get to the GTI spring festival on the sunday. I had the fuel pump changed as i thought this  might be on the way out but to no avail so i had to miss the show! Most of the garages around my area i really dont trust my mk1 to, they dont really understand the k-jet system so i managed to find a place in Witney that had all the right test equipment to check and set up the system propley! gave the car a good wash and polish and also wax oiled some of the underside and in the rear pannels and doors!


car on tow truck off to get fixed! (i hope!!!!!)  :rolleyes:  :cry:



and on another note, i managed to get the oil temp and preshure vdo guages i have been after for ages to go with the vaults one already in the car! got them both for 20 quid with the bulb holders! so when i get the car back i can bang them in, have read up on it and it seems quite easy! also got some more blue led bulbs to fit in to them!  :grin:



will let you know what was up with the car when they start work on monday!  :smiley:

Hi all, well the car now has a new hart beating in her! well kind of, i have bought and had fitted ( by paul who is a top bloke aka tomo38 off of here) a modded DX lump, its had head work and cam as well as a rebuild! Paul was a star and it took a little longer than expected to fit due to a few snags which paul sorted out! Now its all in the car really does go like stink! the fun factor is back big time! :grin:
here are a few pics!  :smiley:
