Well still not heard anything from garage regarding the health of myvalver and his missing spark. 1 ignition module taken from yuppy as funkstar recommended  and 1 new one from motor parts world, new leads, new arm and cap. Coil working fine. But still not firing up. Now waiting for a pattern distributor from motor parts world. www.motorpartsworld.com if that sort him out will be sending the original bosch for rebuild.  Then returning unneeded parts back to yuppy. Lucky to have parts and good few links saved. Thanks funkstar(Mark) for advice.

Finally got my 16valver back… new ignition module ,distributor, 3 new pumps 2 x fuel 1 x water. Timing belt changed. and then last night I removed the venoms 16" and fitted adaptors and some 15" porsche teledials.  Maybe temporary at this point as im undecided but also I'm lacking the spigots for the venoms till mid week at least.
Thanks to mark Carter aka funkster at classic vw.

Wife is happy that drive is full again lol. If full it means I'm not spending unseen money in a garage somewhere.

Well after spending time with caster..thought time to spend some love with myvalver. Today fit lower door hinges and adjust to allow door to shut.. sick of bashing it.
So 2 hinges bought from Mark at classicvw and then some extra power required to loose hinges. 3/8" tools it was not..1/2 " and power bar.
Turned out not as bad as first thought and the new hinges made a difference.
Will probably have to look at wiring for central looking as it doesn't seem happy.

Ken have you installed a full set of interior LED light bulbs in this one yet?

Because if not I strongly recommend it.
Did my Mk6 estate last year, 11 bulbs in total and wow what a massive, massive difference.

They light up the interior light a football stadium! 😉 👍🏼

Hi Mike. Not yet fitted leds but they are coming. Have got blue type coming to match the car outer and inner trims. To be honest I'm also looking towards leds on the mk1 and mk2 as a way to reduce power drain every little bit saved.

Fitted original gamma head unit…now back to full speakers front and rear. Went to local charity shop and purchased so 90s/00s cds to load multichanger . Maybe it's me but I do like to sit in old car with music from that era.
