I didn't bother with sealant, just the nuts, bolts and washers, did the job for a few years before eventually I ripped it out with all the other usual deletes.

From what I've read previously anything bigger than an envelope is a No-No since Brexit.

At least you can get your parts locally🤣🤣

Looks good then you cover them up🤔☺️

Did quite a few back in the day of owning my MK1 for 12 years, Was a few regulars back then, remember 2 silver one's(Ben & Johnathon), black estate(dave), red hatch cant rember who drove that one, probably a couple i've forgot, most people have probably moved on to newer cars now, youngest MK1's are now 17 year old(that makes me feel old). had great fun in mine, only broke it once, at Briskoda national day at Rockingham when the front hub snapped.

Looks lowered to me, also has Maxton rear spoiler cap, the picture of the wheel looks to have a spacer on, vrs wheel centre caps, red and green stripe on front grill, debadged rear, probably enthusiast owned, may have even been member on here, or try one of the facebook vrs owners group for more history.

O/S/F looks low and wheel appears to sit further in, Don't know if it's my laptop, looking at front bumper both corners look scuffed or could just be light reflection. appears to be a dent O/S wing ,top of the arch. saets and carpet look like theyv'e not been cleaned for years, passenger seat has what look like tears on both bolsters. Reckon better cars for sale outthere, personally think that one is well overpriced.

whats the WBAC price? auction price anywhere upto £2k lower than that, Skoda finance price doesn't seem to bad to me looking on Autotrader, pester them for a lower price, got to be better for them rather than the cost associated with sending and putting through auction.

drill some holes into the bumper bar around the same size as the 2 that are already on there, got to be better than narrowing the bumper bar

Going off last picture, with my aging memory, think that is a K03s, don't think the K03 had the muffler on it, the bit in your left hand in photo. OE turbo no: 53039880052 OEM part no: 06A145713D or F

remember reading somewhere it's because you stop quicker and more chance of getting rear ended, all down to statistics and risk figures that insurance companies use.

225/45 on your wolfrace, or 225's on your spiders will work just as well, ran 225/45 on my spiders for many track days, spiders are light compared to most other VAG wheels, 9.3KG from memory,

Superchips went bust early last year, taken over by Remap Kings, do a lot of the mobile remapping, I think are just using the name for marketing purposes, so any warranties have probably been watered down.

there is a list somewhere in MK1 Octy forum with all the different ratios and box codes(try a search), had a Golf box on mine can't remember the code though, your not going to really have any sort of notable difference.

yes, 23mm from memory

25mm or 28mm? I had 25mm on front and 28mm on the rear, got rid the the dreadful understeer on the Octy's

Sad day when I got rid of mine after 12 years of ownership, Also sad that yours is another getting stripped, another one bites the dust.

Mine was completely polybushed, wishbones, steering rack, dogbone, anti roll bars, rear beam, all Superpro. Powerflex Black -10mm Top mount, and rear bump stops, ECS rear spring isolators, plus THS engine mounts, always found it comfortable enough for around town and long motorway journeys and a blast on track.

Imagine how many they could of squeezed into an Estate No tax, No MOT since 2014 why has in not been stopped before considering the amount of ANPR's?

I've always had good prices from A Plan

Back to the MG or did you sell it?

Smooth green Hammerite, must be worth more than the calipers these days

Sounds like a lazy starter.

Sounds more like a sensor fault, possibly crank or cam sensor. Not sure where they are on diesel engine.
