Deanduya  it's got to be changed anyway as it's rotting away. So…with that in mind I was looking for more subtle approach but this turned up inclusive of manifold.for price of back box alone. So will give it a try..if it's too much I'll change the back box later..im not cutting the spoiler/ bumper.😎  the snowy I will look at seat trim again. Unless you've got a couple of bits to try against.

All noise and no go….stealth mode not required here..where bikes roam with deristricted pipes. If it's not cows or crows you hear. It's bikes or r32s coming from lincoln way. Pop Pop pop no whoosh.  
Stealth mode is more active  on my 330d… brum brum whoosh….

Be sure to wrap that header with heat disbursement material or Make a Heat shield out of Aluminum to shield your steering rack and Axle boots, as the heat will distort soften and weaken the axle boots (I know from first hand) for the steering racks I have seen it run the grease out of the racks and on power steering racks I have seen it ruin the o-rings causing the racks to leak.

Over here on this side of the Pond I have the same type that is getting ready to be installed on my 93, after the "last" emissions test.  I currently have a tt tuning dual down and a g60 manifold on one, and a homemade dual down and g60 manifold on the other, for both of them I had to make a heat shield.

Well with AGM looming. I think I go play a bit of golf. Rather than play with the golf…

The sportline is just having some coolant checks..and searching for bad earth. Temp gauge very hit and miss. Still waiting for b pillar seal from Germany.snowy may get a replacement rear light cluster.  As bulb holder keeps falling out. Lol.

I don't plan on wrenching any time soon, yesterday I drove in a torrential downpour, and the passenger side wiper decided to loosen and stop working…

Well I was glad for a "mono-wiper" and Rain-ex on the windshield.  Got home tightened the nuts all is well.

I know that feeling my one did it to me about 2 months back. Then the other day just skipped the blade and scratched all my screen. Joys of old cars. We will get there.

By the I plant to drive mine tomorrow to the AGM and then drive again on the rally. Come on sunshine â~€ï¸ give us a boost I haven't fitted my door seals yet

Well made it to AGM but seem to have lost 5th gear. So will try see if can see a bent rod. Then hunt my parts for spare.

5th loss is usually a low oil in the tranny thing.
5th is a splash oiled gear, if the qty of oil is low, then 5th gear doesn't get the proper lubrication and burns out.

Yes it can be replaced on the car, or out of the car.

Read more about it at www.brokevw.com

(Yes I hate to be a kill-joy), while it is possible that it is an adjustment thing, it usually isn't.

Hi
I'm sure tranny/ box is fine..as was working ok. I did a part bush linkage change last summer. But looks like the circ clip came from slot on gear stick. And then garage worker kept pushing to find a slot..🤐 still got to AGM ok.. so will change what I can and hopefully 5th will return. Have 1 set to change on my white cabby as is loose…but will sort sportline 2nd..that way I still can enjoy summer.

Well castor is going to Mr crazyquiffs in hope that the loom issue can be repaired by people who know what they looking at. Sportrucker  supplied me a spare loom that maybe be swapped in or used as parts. Snowy is still waiting a slot at painters. Whilst yuppie flu as been asked to be a wedding car on Saturday coming so I'd better clean him. And make him look a bit special.
3 x moving cars… tax and mot.
1 x castor on drive
1 x myvalver still in paintshop.
