Post by: T_J_G on 24 March 2006, 11:53

Right , ive managed to get the spliced bit off with some hard work.

however the hub doesnt seem to go far enough back to then get the bolt on the hold it in place...

 :angry:

Pjones the guy up who sold it to me and he contacted the makers and they've got no registered problems with it.

 :laugh:

My car is now impossible to drive.... :cry:

Will do.

The most stressful couple of days car wise ever, but the feeling when you get it right is something undescribable!

WTF how did you do that? was it your new steering wheel????? :sad:

don't think the steering wheel caused it. Just lack of judgement and looking. My fault.

 :sad:

Gonna cost a bomb to fix, although i may just buy a Gti when my insurance is up for renewal.
