Well..........you are partially to blame for the missus nearly poking her eye out when you "persueded" me to keep dropping the ride height  :rolleyes: :grin:

But I thank you for this one Chuff, I wouldn't have been happy in a newer car (plus I've now sorted into a car pool for the journey to the new workplace :afro:)

Right, on with some gremlin fixing time  :cool:

Lift pump took ages to arrive at the dealers  :rolleyes: but tonight saw it replaced  :cool:



I've not been out in it yet but it starts and runs so that's a good sign :afro:

I checked the fluid levels on the car at the weekend and the water level was low in the header tank  :shocked: :shocked:. Checked the oil straight away to check for mayo.................................none found, phew!!

Ran the car up while it was on my brothers ramp and spotted a leak around the water pump. So as a matter of course I have bought this.....




Along with the gasket so I'll get on with that this weekend  :cool:

Well, been tinkering again  :grin:

Was fed up of seeing the scabby old door handles and had seen some 'rado's with the early style Passat rears put on to de-lock them  :cool:

I wasn't a fan of the square style of the passat rears so I looked for something else  :rolleyes:

Ended up buying some ate style Passat rears that needed some modifying but I like the challenge of making things fit  :evil:

So, after some filing, drilling & tapping, along with a bit of masterful welding from a good Mate. These came off.........




And I have now got these on...... :cool:




Now you see it..............



Now you dont  :grin: :grin:



Just going to go out now and clean the 245,950 greasy fingerprints off the doors  :embarassed:
