Servicing parts and a mot question

[Pearce69]

Hey all

Mot question...
Cars gone for mot and failed, needs two new front tyres. I was thinking of having a slightly lower profile on my P slots. Would it pass a mot if the tyres at the front are a diffrent profile size to the rear? Also what is the standard size of tyre on my 14" P slots and what size tyre would be good for them?

Service parts question...
Where is the best place to get service parts for my 1987 8v gti? Im wanting to do a full service including cambelt plugs filters ect...
Im also after putting a K&N panel filter in the airbox. Wheres best to get one of them? oh and what oil do i need to use?

Right.  Don't faff about like a numpty with different sized tyres on back and front.  

Service parts you can get from anywhere.  Halfruads if your desperate, VW if you wipe your arse with £50 notes.

Euro car parts will give us 25% discount as forum members - check their section.  

As for oil.

Eurocarparts are good value, I bought oil and a filter for £17 last week
Just be careful as they do list some stuff wrong, also check you don't have upgrades from other VAG models fitted like brakes or an engine
