Good to meet you guys the other day.
Not good that you found dirt under the bonnet -
I'm referbing an original VW tool-kit that's supposed to sit inside the spare wheel at the mo. I'll get some pics up later. And I'll get that dirty engine sorted for you Chris

Do it once and do it right! ok, we've identified the problem, lets not make it worse by guessing……… Identifying the sympton is not the same as understanding the cause

One thing that I’ve been trying to find for HGT is an original spare wheel tool kit. The one it came with when new has long gone. After a lot of searching I managed to buy one, but it was missing the original screwdriver. After a bit of a refurb – jack rubbed down, primed and sprayed satin black, and other bits re zinc plated – it now looks good enough to display in the boot, strapped inside the spare wheel. I did see a complete tool kit for sale at the AGM, but understandably the seller wouldn’t split it and sell just the screwdriver. At least now I knew exactly what to look for.
When HGT came my way, I also inherited all of my Uncles old tools from his years as a bus mechanic. A lot of these were old, worn and rusty, and have been in a box in my garage for the past 20+ years since he died, unopened. On my way home from the AGM I just wondered if it was worth digging out these tools to see if the missing VW screwdriver had got mixed up with his bus tools. Although none of the rest of the tool kit was in there, happy to say the screwdriver was and just needed a clean up - Result! So with this and picking up Runner up - Best Standard Hatchback, a good day.
Anyone got a spare original 2 piece strap that holds the spare wheel down? Even just the half without the buckle.
