thank you bud. the problem is that all i need is just the axle on it's own. I have everything else. Suspenssion, discs, brake lines, pads, calippers etc etc...So not point me paying so much just to get an axle and the faf around with selling everything else

 

Very good point. No point in having duplicates of everything. Is anyone breaking a vrs near you? 

[Slotty]

I don't think so tbh...I wish someone did but had no luck

[S27VEJ]

Worth trying to find a breaker near you, see if they have anything in. Even a Seat Ibiza would be fine as its the same...

[Slotty]

found few in Poland...Heading there in July/August for two weeks

 

£30 to £50 tops inc discs, brakes, suspension

 

Hmmmmm

[S27VEJ]

There you go!

 

I tell you what I'm after if you see any over there....a set of the VRS DRL units...both mine are shot, and there £70 a piece from a dealer, and people wont sell separate from a bumper over here.

We need to stop Hi-jacking Alex's thread  

[Alexh4551]

Feel free to hi-jack as long as you bring me back a vrs rear axle from poland   

[Slotty]

Remember that I only have a hatchback car  

 

I will have to see what I can do

I will check out the auction site and let you know how much they cost.

 

Are you after full set inc bulbs of just the halogen lamps?

I think you should take a trailer over to poland, buy a few rear axles and start a small business sorting all of us mk2 tdi owners out  

[Slotty]

or Roof Box...... 1200 litre one so can fit few there

[S27VEJ]

They are a full unit, LED DRL come foglight

 

Thanks

Whiteline rear arb fitted and front arb power flex bushes fitted today.

the drive home from work was a bit more "spirited" and fun. 

 

 

Excuse the mess around the power flex bushes. 

My bottle of wd40 exploded. 

 

Need to pull my finger out and get some 312 front brakes sorted.

Very nice. I bet the handling is much better now. I love mine with all upgraded parts fitted

[S27VEJ]

Yet to have mine fitted, but cant wait to get the powerflex fitted, and the RARB!

it does make a decent difference to the handling, Its hard to explain but its like the back of the car is following the front and there's no body roll.

I have a weird love hate with my car....if a deal with a Monte came up then id more than likely do it, but I wont go out my way to look if you get me!

[Alexh4551]

A couple of new editions and apologies for the honking state of my car.

Was following the worlds slowest driver into work today and was suprised with the mpg reading i was averaging. 

 

 

[Slotty]

OMG....Please Clean This Beast...!!!!!!!!!!

[Alexh4551]

Hahaha.

 

its only 5 days worth of driving since i last spent a few hours cleaning it. 

The joys of south wales single track lanes.
