Re: The great carb debate

Bromyard VW is out of action at the moment, I gave him a ring a week ago and he is out of comission due to illness, so sorry. Hope he recovers soon.

Re: Disklok steering wheel lock

I have EPS on one of the vans so a golf smaller one would be ok there, probably putting EPS on the syncro later this year so would be ok with a smaller wheel then. At moment I have the very standard big wheel not caravelle on both vans.
