Not meaning to hijack, but i would also like to know where to get hold of a rear anti roll bar. Pretty sure they do them.

OK, Quick up date, after havin' a chat with a work colleague, i have replaced all the fuel return pipes and Bob's yer Uncle happy van once again pulls like a train all the way through the rev range Ta da

Hmmm, planning on lowering it by 55mm and from the trial fit of the wheels not sure if spacers are pos 'cause of the proximity of the arch ? Will probably have to lower then trial fit again in reality then take it from there. :idea: Surely you'd be better modifying the wheel arches than chopping bi...

At that point there is considerable twisting force, when the wheel is being braked the steering spindle tries to rotate as the ball joint is a joint it tries to twist the wishbone. Point taken, will have to set it all up properly to find out exactly how much "Jigery pokery" needs to be do...

Most ofthe force exerted on this component would be in the triangular area defined by the upper ball joint and the upper arm inner bushes. i can't see this lip contributing massively in the strength of the component especiall...

Have had issues with the induction pipe since it was converted, blowing of all the time (there is no inter cooler fitted at present just a straight pipe). However when the input pipe comes off it is always followed by clouds of black smoke due to over fueling. In this case there is no black smoke, t...

Na don't have access to one. also during the conversion certain sensors were bypassed i think and it may therefore throw up a lot of codes. have seem vagcom leads on Fleabay for not a lot. am i right in assuming they come with a cd that you stick in a lap top hook it up and away you go or am i being...

Have changed fuel filter, no difference ;-( more head scratching required me thinks

Cheers Elvis, good job i've got a couple of days off......
