So...I went to VW this afternoon to collect my bushes and selectors, and cut a long story short they didn't order all the bushes on the illustration, don't know if the bloke wasn't listening or just didn't give sh*t but I had to order the remaining bushes and should be in for me to pick up tomorrow. I blame the missus as it was her idea to order the parts over the phone in the first place :rolleyes:...never again! :angry:

Turns out it hasn't worked put cheaper as in the kit on ebay you get more bits http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220790646982?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_2056wt_1037

What I collected today:



All I'l be adding one bush a couple or R-clips and 4 rubber/plastic washers to that tomorrow  :smiley:

Went to VW again today, been my second home the past few days, but anyway...got my extra bits that was missing and had to swap my plugs over as they gave me the wrong bloody ones...idiots   :sad:

Fitted my new plugs earlier this evening not forgetting the Wd40 and copper slip, I love my miners torch, took for a test drive feels much better as you would expect.  :smiley: will be cracking on with the Selector in the morning after the school run.

wahoo!!! I can change gear  :grin:

Well as you can tell I managed to get the bushes and link arms fitted with not much dramas, gave the relay arm an inspection whilst it was off, could do with replacing but it'l do for now.

Fitted  :smiley:


And if in dout, get the hazard tape, part 2  :laugh:



Oh yeah, is there something missing from here by any chance?  :embarassed: just behind the clutch cable..




Next up...petrol  :rolleyes:

Not entirely sure what that's for, but there should just be a plastic blanking cap on it mate. Get it covered for peace of mind but nothing to worry about. Glad your shifting is sorted thouh pal, another load off, and one more job ticked off. Pity the list is as long as my................ :lipsrsealed: :grin:
