What did you do to your MK1 today?
I painted my opening 1/4 window frames, as the chrome platers have basically destroyed about £350 worth of rare windows and I am trying to fix the mess…..

Went for a run out and noted the speedo not working. Also the washer pump.
Other final jobs include refitting the sun visors and rear wiew mirror in the new headliner.

My daily fluffed its MoT so Golf is now being used as my sole means of transport..
Replaced both rear wheel bearings (o/s rumbling), sorted interior light, dash lights, twisted seatbelts, winter idle, rocker gasket, etc.
Oh, and took my bike home from workshop - so mild recently that hood down is still a pleasure..!!

I got a couple of jobs sorted on the mk1 yesterday.
I replaced the heater control mechanism. No more floppy heater controls! While I had the dash apart, I also upgraded the bulb for the heater controls to a LED. Also put in an aerial splitter for my stereo so I can listen to DAB using my standard aerial. Listened to Chris Moyles for the first time in a few years on the way to work this morning. Happy Days!

What did you do to your MK1 today?
Fitted new fuel filter, track rod and alternator belt. Wire brushed and cleaned up intake manifold. Also had a chat with it ( yes I know sad but I talk to all my cars LMAO, at least they don't argue back)

Adjusted fuel mix as it was running rich, spot on now. Not taken her for a run out yet so hopefully can tomorrow and see if I've messed up!
There are too many online users to list.
