Anybody got a forge dv for sale ? They are a bit pricey at the moment as I got other things to plan for first  :rolleyes:

Also, I've be reading about the best spark plugs available and started getting confused with people talking about 're-tapping them and the different options available.

What are the ones I need please ?

Tbh if a forge dv is out of your budget then I'd think again about a 1.8t, they are a money pit  :grin:

was the time since it was last done is why i changed it not the mileage or history so technically a y-reg golf 1.8t should have had 3 belts it never always happens like this though  :smiley:
