 :smiley: Ahh I see.... no thats not good, If you're just replacing the bushes you don't need to adjust anything  :wink:

 :nerd: If you want to check the adjustment get yourself an old cassette box (slimline TDK's work best) and wedge it into the gap, it should be a perfect fit - and thats it, job done  :smiley:
(if you don't know what the "gap" is you're gonna have to get a manual and check cos i cant describe it  :kiss:)

can a mod move this to the 'mk1 maintenance + info section' - this is useful for mk1 owners.
