1 month to go!!! hows your plans going??

Rocker cover gasket swapped for the mk3 one thanks to Daves mate.

is the mk3 one better and the same for a GTI engine mate?

i bought a new one from VW which was poo, so was gona order a cheap cork one from the bay or GSF …

Nothing to do with the car just lack of funds to tax it.

Hope you can find the funds mate as looking forward to catchin up with you and seeing the car

New side trim clips ordered in an attempt to stop the R/O/S trim 'pinging' off.

They were new 12 months ago so should really be holding like glue!!

That's one of the best £25 I've ever spend, genuine VW part too.

Thought mine was bad  

At least I'm in the dry!

Anna explained to me about the mk3 one Rich.
Had 2 cork ones on since I got the car.
So got one of e bay inc studs that you need to swap over.
Got it from tierod.
About £14.00 inc p and p.
Deffo worth doing as it comes in one piece.

Carl any pics of the mk3 gasket? Sounds like a good solution to the cork ones. I might do the same when swapping over rocker covers.

all was sweet until the golf went gone wrong so i hope i can get it fixed in time!

No pics Hugh, e bay seller lesbray it was £9.99 plus £2.00 postage.

Just search for golf MK3 rocker cover gasket.

i'm in crete topping up my tan ready

a ha!  guys i didnt swap the studs over that came with the new rubber mk1 rocker cover gasket that came with the one i bought from VW is that probably why i have the problems with it?

its rubber not cork.

or is it still better for me to get a mk3 one?

Mine is a rubber one and you need to swap the studs over fella.

It's all one piece where as the cork has that little half moon bit that never fits and then once you tighten down the bits either side squish out leaving the gap that chucks oil out.

Went over to see Hibbs for a bonnet and tail gate.

Top man, seen the project Sportline he has.
Very nice once he's finished.

Bits arrived for my project only orderd them yesterday!
Just one bit remaining to come.

Just need someone to lend me a compressor and spray gun and some sunshine so I can get painting.
