Cheers, though unfortunately I'm just going backwards at the moment :( Flywheel problems, hopefully to be sorted soon.

Sorry mate, only got a 20mm one for sale.

So, problem was that the flywheel was too close to pressure plate rendering the clutch inoperable. Had the clutch ground to resolve the problem and on the bright side it has removed all the hot spots :)



Bolted to the engine;



Got the gearbox all bolted in then set about sorting the boost hoses from the charger :)



Might actually get it on the road sometime soon  :shocked: My time in the last week or so has been spent preparing for assessment days and interviews - I'm gonna need a decent job to insure this Jetta   :laugh:

Got the job, hence little progress. Done a little more though, token photo to prove I've been in the garage :grin:



Jobs to do;

-Fit o/s caliper and bleed the brakes.
-Clean and fit throttle body.
-Fit radiator and adjust right hand side bracket (had to move the radiator one hole (on the crossmember) to the left due to intercooler so doesn't line up).
-Fit intercooler and make two brackets to mount it to the radiator.
-Fit intercooler pipework to throttle body.
-Put some oil in it, prime it.
-See if it starts  :shocked: :D
