Not really!

He took it out of the donor car so knew how it should go back in! Plus he's smaller, younger and fitter than me so.....
Plus he owed a favour for going with him to Hemel Hempstead to buy a car! :rolleyes:

Little things like polishing the wheel nuts! :grin:

The smooth hatch is still "in progress"!

Other than that nothing really!

Yea Golf will be going to RTTS this year. Might get hatch done, have hit a wall with the opening catch, so will have to go round a scrappy and see what I can make fit!

Have to polish the nuts coz they stick out and five rusty blobs in front of nice sparkly gold wheels looks really bad!

Well I had a problem! Went to start it to move out of garage to get the Passat in to do some work and NOTHING! Nada wouldnt start! :angry:
No life, some dash lights came on but no clicking no whirring nothing!

So off with the battery and on charge! Well after a few minutes charger shows green! (fully charged)
So back in the car and still no! This time some clicking and whirring noises but not turning over.
Next I spray all the electrics with a damp proofing stuff and put battery back on charge. Takes it a bit longer this time to go green so check the volts and its 12.95v
So back on the car and still no!

So right fed up with this! :angry:
Bring the Passat round and jump leads on and after 3 or 4 attempts the Golf fires up!
Run the engine at revs for a time and get car warmed up, then take it for a short drive and all seems well, yes it restarts even after about 3 hours. (whilst I was working on the Passat)

So dunno really just the damp got in and the battery drained it itself?????
I always disconnect battery btw!
