Selling my MK2 GTI dials, going the digi-dash route! These clocks are a bit different due to the fact that they have a blue illuminated clock, really stands out....looks great and of course, a bit different!

Pic is terrible as my digi-cam is broken so taken them off my phone!



and in the day



Clocks are in great condition.  £25 and that includes first class p&p!

Hello :-)
Please excuse me having not introduced myself before posting this.
I am going to look at a mk3 gti (92) (8v i think..i forget now, ive looked at SO many!!) tomorrow and spoke to the chap on the phone, sounds good.
its got a full service history (vw dealer for some), mot until august, but if we pay £1000 he will put it through another mot for free.
All sounds very promising. however, (here comes thequestion) he said the "rocker cover gasket is starting to leak"
Now im not overly mechanical (putting it midly ) and is this a bargaining point or the point where we turn and run?!
Ive googled and looked around the site, people dont seem to have too much of a problem with it, but if im driving it back (80 miles) is it likely to have detrimental damage?
Any explanation very welcomed :-)
Thanks loads in advance

hi i have a mk2 golf driver 1.6 with 130k miles on the clock and its getting a bit rattly and smokey (its been ragged for the last 20k miles), it goes for now but i have a spare driver engine with 80k miles on the clock which runs sweet as a nut.
before i put it in i am looking to tune the engine as much as possible while i have some time on it.

basically i want to put an upgraded camshaft kit in it, but while im their i want to gas flow the head and get some stronger valve springs etc.

what i am stuck on is that i have no idea of how much can be done and what is worth doing etc, also choosing a cam and locating valve springs etc, and advice on gasflowing a head

i want to keep this car because it has had a lot of my time and money spent on it, i already have some spax suspension and mk3 gti brakes drilled & grooved, gti subframe with antirollbar, urethane bushes all round (well worth the money with hard suspension. i have not had to replace 1 wishbone since i installed them), weber 32/34 dmtr carb conversion, k&n bolt-on - etc etc

basically i want to keep it 

any advice?
thanks

Hi guys
RSL Cult Wheels, 4 x 100, 7 x13. ET26
We brought these to go on my cousins new Auto Mk1 (35,000 geuine miles) however its in such good nic and milage wise, its going to be better to refurbish the originals.
One of the wheels was knocked in transit  which really mugged me off      but no curb marking or anything on the wheel, i think it would be wroth getting a wheel specialised to just straighten it, its not a bad ding as you can see in the bottom picture.

Wheels in guildford/portsmouth, can post
Please email as i dont really check PM's - ebz3@hotmail.com (msn for some web action)

Offers over £250+ these will probably go on the bay at some point as im not sure how much to ask, try me!
With regard to the ding dong ill take these down to my tyre guy and get him to spin it up, its going to be fine though as you can see its just a small flat spot, but better for your peace of mind!

Wheels in good condition, no curbing a few small  lacquer marks around the studs, and polish marks on the lips, your more than welcome to come and view and i will also clean them and take some more pictures for you as these ones are pants and show up all the dirt/grease streaks!
