do you mean the 'Clarke CHT267 Seal Puller Tool' ? It looks like you gouge it out! OK! When new seal arrives I shall give that a go... Altho changing the oil would be a good idea too as it wont ever have been done before.. Thanks again

[quote="Oldiebut goodie"]Normal angle! My first impressions: Looks like golf dipstick kept - bet it hasn't been calibrated for the new installation. Throttle cable outer fixing not altered - most probably contacts lid. Fuel pipe unsecured. Likewise leak-off pipe. (Chafing risk) Cambelt cov...

Clutch replacement time

Hi guys, time for your help again before I get the spanner out. I made the mistake of loaning out my van (friend in need) and it came back with a slipping clutch and that burnt smell! looking into things I seem to have a choice of 215mm or 228mm. Now my van is originally a 1.6d and is now a golf 1.9...

Re: window rubbers

When I replaced my windscreen seal, I also had the obligatory welding on the lip (all in the WIKI in case you need it) but I also used roofing mastic as an extra barrier against water ingress behind the rubber.
