Re: Sliding door runner

So the $1000 question, I have been fixing cars, suspension, clutches, gearboxes, electrics etc for a while now but never welded.  As there is no one near me that wants to take on the task, I was thinking of getting a cheap stick welder off TEMU.  Handheld Welder with IGBT Inverter 20 -120A Also a be...

Sliding door runner

I had a sliding door runner fitted badly a few years back and I have decided to swap it out.

Any advice on removal and where I can get one from. Thanks

Plastic breather pipe split

Any idea where I can get some more of the plastic pipe. Also one of the plastic flutes on the end is also missing so need one of these too....

Re: VW Rev Counter Retrofit

Got it in and working by turning the little frequency dial on the back even without the 10v regulator.

However when I start her up again I need to wiggle the screw dial on the back to get it working. I’m going to try with the 10v regulator and report back.

Re: VW Rev Counter Retrofit

Thx. Where I am at present is It looks like the diesel tacho will need a converter to work on a petrol even after adding the w wire (there seems to be conflicting info about this) I could get a converter or get a Chinese taco and take out the circuit board. I would buy the converter but I can’t find...

Re: VW Rev Counter Retrofit
