Standard parts Mk2 GTi runout model - Stereo and Splash Guards

[Skid]

Hi Chaps

I have a totally original runout model 8v and want to keep it that way.

Unfortunately some scrote stole my Stereo some time ago and I've never replaced it. Anyway I've got bored looking at a hole in the dash and wonder if any one can tell me what should be there and if any one can help me source one?

The car is a 1992 gti 8v runout model rainbow interior etc etc. What Stereo should it be??? On this particular model was the Stereo still an option or was it standard? If it was an option I'd quite happily blank the hole over with the proper blanking plate.... and again anyone got one?

Also despite new belts everywhere, in the rain I always get bad Alternator and PAS belt squeel and slippage. Should there have been some kind of splash guard under the engine and around the bottom pulleys  There's nothing there and wonder if it was pulled off by a service center years ago and never replaced?

Again if so can anyone help me source replacement(s)?

Ummmm ahh also drivers door external handle has suddenly gone incredibly stiff. Befoer I start pulling door cards off etc, any pointers on this, is it the handle ,catch mechanism or are these renowned for binding etc?

Oh by the way, 180,000 hard driving and still on the original clutch!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone beat that? 

Cheers

the splash guard for the belts is obsolete im afraid, tried getting one from vw a few months ago, the undertray is from a diesel so not really original!

dunno about the stereo, i know the 87 golfs had a blaukpunkt tape deck in them

you don't need to take to door card's off to get the car just undo the screw inside the door shut and remove the trim form the outer handle and there is a second in there off she pop's

180,000 nope mine did 160,000 km's (about 100,000 miles) well done on the softy driving

that's because the 8v doesn't have enough power or torque to wreck clutches.

not exactly true - i consider myself a smooth driver (not a clutch wrecker) and my old 8v went through a clutch in 10k, was fitted by my ex`s old man who was/is an mot tester... the one i fitted after that lasted 2 days, then someone wrote off the car by hitting it up the rear
