and from that £60 I have to buy oil, PAS fluid, Brake fluid, oil filter + flush and the rear beam bushes.

£60 will barely cover the swear word jar during the swap, give up now :laugh:

Service, rob DH for other parts. PAS fluid is auto box fluid. ;) Cheap engine flush.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....

Dizzie cap, rotor and leads are 2 months old, and spark plugs I've not yet checked (don't have a spark plug tool thin enough to get though the holes).
PAS fluid I'll try and save as much as I can from draining it, hopefully from both cars I'll be able to get enough for 1 system.

I wish I could rebuild it! But As I said, I've got about £60 to spend on the essential stuff, so I can't go around blowing money on other stuff.

With respect trying to a job of this scale on a budget of peanuts could / may end in tears.

I would not be keen on reusing pas fluid etc.

i would wait till you can afford to do things properly, dont see the point in rushing things, do it once do it right...

guessing this will fall on deaf ground tho
