GSF car parts - google it. When you're in there blag discount, just say "Edition38 - normally 20% blah blah blah". And you want a MK3 matrix too ;)

Sunroof leak? I've got a brand new outer seal - £30 delivered ;)

Cheers :wink: - Mk3 matrix fits straight in then?

I already have have most of the dash out and due to my quick fix, most of the pipes out too.

45 mins - no problem!!  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
