Speaking of Mats I currently have mk6 vw mats in my mk5 but I made them fit

Although they don't fit perfectly they are not too bad one on the clips doesn't clip in but they don't move at all and fit well otherwise. Still a hell of alot better than the old mats they were falling apart.

Saw a peugeot 206 last night driving in front of me with no rear lights or brake lights. Not such a surprise there.
However person driving had obviously spotted this and decided rather than waste money fixing it, turning on rear fog light was sufficient.

One bright light in the bottom middle of the rear.
Be grand! Glad to see nct is working well.

Foxhole I'm down your way to collect a set of serious wheels

They are 2 piece splits and should make the car stand out. . .

I can't wait to see your donedeal ad for it as typical donedeal ads for old basic cars go like this, "high spec car with all the mod cons including an odometer, headlights, seatbelts, horn, brakes, gearstick and fuel cap"

:pac:

Did the piston seize in your brake caliper was it. I was getting rear pads done a few weeks ago and the mechanic turns around and says hopefully these Pistons arent siezed as the mk5 golf has a fierce habit of having siezed Pistons and a new calliper is around 200 quid from vw or they can be refurbished which would take a few days. I was delighted when the turned back nice and easy would of been hardship to send them to be refurbished as I was 150km from home up visiting relations and it was my uncle (mechanic) that did it as he offered it was grand as he has a lift. Otherwise I would off attempted them myself it's actually a very handy job once nothing is siezed.
