DH will be asking about coilies next

No I won't.

I will also not be speaking to morons about engine transplants, just to get things properly clear.

If someone could tell me whether there's something missing off the clutch pedal assembly which stops the pedal trapping on the floor (just needs to be pulled back up by hand) if you push it all the way down, that would be grand.  :kiss:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Unfortunately not. I'm sure with your repertoir of skills though, you could fashion something.  :smiley:

*slightly* off-piste this afternoon.

Closed road?

No problem.



But the ditry b*stards doing the work had heaped up scalpings to stop cunning stunts such as myself continuing to use the road, so I doubled back through and snuck across to another route via some dirt tracks:



This is why the car will NOT be lowered.  :grin:

I did manage to lose half the front valance (again!), so cut back from the workshop I was visiting and picked up the lost part, which was exactly where I was expecting it - I had to back up over a fallen tree at one point - it had claimed the front valance on the way out and I hadn't noticed.  :rolleyes:

Dirt-track rallying went well aside from that.

Seems every G3 GTI I see with some seats in it has significant fungal bloom on the seats, so I'm still in the Chiropracter Later seats.

I did manage to pick up the boot side trims and a (broken) parcel shelf for a tenner at a scrapyard this morning, so it's now quieter inside and the cr@p I leave in the boot will remain my business, not everyone else's.

Stereo swap tomorrow, maybe.

You could still drop 30mm on that road if you got better seats :grin:
