Title: P***ing Car
Post by: Ady TDI on 30 March 2009, 20:17

First it ran out of oil, then today the glovebox door catch got stuck, so as i pulled at it i ended up pulling the door to the glovebox off :angry: just superglued it back on hopefully it will hold until i can source another

Savage stuff. I need to a glove box door too, brought my golf last week and the cheeky tw@ just blue tacked it up. If you find one could you let me know where and i'll do the same?

Cheers

Chris

I'd get the CV done before the CV joints F**ks up. Should only cost about £30 changed including gaitor.
