The 1st 2 are in the bin, the 3rd one is on the car now, and the 4th one I bought is still in the box it came in. I took it to my garage last night to put it to sleep for the winter, what a mission that was trying to plough it through a foot od snow! In the end I got it in there and I'm not 100% sure on this but I think just before I turned it off it cut out, or I could have knocked the key. Anyway I tried it again and guess what? The fuel pump won't prime! I tried wiggling the wires again to no joy. But it was dark. I'm just gonna leave it now till after new year and hope it plays ball in better weather  :smiley:

Well well well. Seeing as I've been messed about with a few offers of swaps, and after driving this home from my garage today and LOVING it, I've decided to insure and tax it tomorrow. Gonna do the few odd jobs that need doing over this week, and enjoy it for a while. The clutch doesn't seem to be slipping now so its putting down the GTi powers well :)
