I checked at the back of the sills, theres a small gap next to the rear jacking point? They were both clear when I pocked a small screwdriver into them.

Deffo closed!

Ok, removed the scuttle panel. Snapped the passenger wiper trying to get it off, then had to hacksaw and drill the rest of it off. Why does this need to be removed again? Just to check it's clear? There was a small amount of leaves in the passenger side, but not enough to be blocking it. I...

Around a year ago when there was heavy rain my 182 flooded in the drivers footwell. I purchased a dehumidifier and dried the whole thing out, couldn't find the location of the leak but sealed the rear bungs just above the back lights in case it was that. After last weeks downpour I came back...

Iv just done the stone guard finish on my 106 GTi, may do the same with the rear arches on the T too. But it will have to wait until next year. Thing is it is all well and good laying protection on top but if even a tiny bit of water gets in there you simply cant see it :( Bloody old cars!

Found a smidge of rust on the bonnet today when washing the T :( Cut back the rubbery coating and then covered it in a few layers of Vactan. Hopefully that should stop it, doesnt look as pretty now though! Also scraped out the rear arches and Vactan'd those as well for good measure. How has...

I have a set of rear cup dampers and when i push down on them with all my body weight it will slowly compress, is that a sign its knackered, worn or fine?

I will do, i need a new middle section for my KTR system (that also doesnt sit right at the rear!! Right tailpipe is in the bumper and the left sticks out?!) The whole thing has been cut a little bit short i believe. But i need to sort the blowing to drive it until i get that sorted.

Looks like this is the thing to do then! I thought you had one of those gauze flange bits in between! 😊

Seems like every toy i buy has the exhaust botched... Mine is currently blowing from where the cat meets the middle pipe. It has a rather rusty bracket holding them together and was blowing from the top part. Surely this isnt meant to just press up against eachother to make an airtight seal...
