Title: What is that strange parcel?
Post by: Deefadog on 06 June 2004, 23:11

Below the left rear leght is a foam box, straped on, looks a part of the car, once opened it looks like a motor or something with wires, so i quickly put it back :) Any ideas what it is? (you can tell I am new at this:)

Cheers

Does it always sound really noisey? like a hippo on a tractor or is that just mine?

Yep they are all noisy hence the foam box to deaden it down a bit. Yep they all sound like a tractor but if yours sounds like it has a hippo on it there may be something wrong  ;)

Thanks, well no hippo, I just went a bit over the top :)

Are these vacume pumps?

Yep that's right, the central locking on the mk2 operates using a vacuum system.

those mirrors are really noisey! I thought there must be something wrong with mine. I hardly adjust them now seeing as they're about right where they are.
