I no need it YET, just trying to find out source of kits. I know they exists, as when i was working in one garage, we took off auto box off audi a6 (some fancy one) , and brought to one other garage, where i did see that gearbox overhaul kit (was packed like in pizza box, all gears, synchros, seals was sealed in vacuum packets. )
I cant ask them now, as that garage doesnt exist now.

I am not on vagcat, I am on myturbodiesel

Vagcat is good. Never even looked at the forum but it has a part number cataloque that I used to use regularly. http://www.vagcat.com/epc/ You have to sign up to get the diagrams and engine /box codes.

Picking up one of these lads for the car, don't use my CD player regardless and all the main buttons still accessible (as well as steering wheel). Might get a small tablet too.

Theres this app called Geek - Smarter shopping that kept popping up on my fb page so I downloaded it. Its full of dirt cheap gadgety things like that. A lot of rubbish but some useful thing's.

See if this link does anything. You might have to download the app. Its much easier to use than the actual website

Take it easy off the mark with the Dunlops as well. You'll light them up fairly easily if they're on the front.

Yes, Ford shafts don't like 300+Ft/lb of torque unfortunately

Is nice motorsport shafts you can get but they are 800 sterling so many in feb or so.

If you've got bad tyres then your shafts will be fine, it's only when you've got tyres that grip properly that you need to worry about shearing your shafts! :pac:

Eagle F1's, they're yer only man.. errr tyre. I've never put anything else on it. Costs me a small fortune in rubber, but now I'm in a stable relation the last two years it's somewhat offset...

Winter tyres arrived, as well as spigot rings. Will put them on after Christmas (no motoring until 5 Jan anyway). The time has come to repair one badly scratched alloy ("before" photos here).

Tools used (photos from google):

GRIT 60

GRIT 240

Result:

And painted:

It's not perfect, but enough for secondary, winter set.
