if you can raise the car a reasonable height off the ground the job shouldn't be too difficult. i just fitted my 1.3 with the whole running gear from a 16v, engine, box, suspension legs - the works. depending on where you are i may be able to help.

£150 sounds like a decent price and once fitted im sure you'll agree it's money well spent! if i were you i'd find a garage with a good reputation and pay the money. saves you the head ache and you'll have the piece of mind that your beloved car is in good hands.

Golfgirl, please explain the following you quoted earlier,
'just remember you'll need to change the universal joint at the bottom of the steering column as they are different for cars with pas'.
I have found a Toledo 'M' plate with PAS, please advise re. the universal joint and if you can be bothered give me a detailed description of all the parts I need to remove from the Toledo. Your advise has been very helpful, I managed to get a rear set of speakers from the Toledo that are a great fit for my Golf and are more powerful than the original VW speakers, only cost £2.00 each.
