f**king mk3 gears
« on: 11 October 2009, 14:16 »
Got into my 96 16v mk3. And it's stuck in third and fourth, v.concerned. So i pop the bonnet, and the part that allows me to change the gears, a plastic bolt has snapped. Why the f**k make it out of plastic. So to get home I either drive the 30miles in 4th or fashion a quick fix out of a nut and bolt...... f**king mk3s!
