Brake Pedal Rubber
A very quick one...any thoughts on where I can locate a brake pedal rubber for my K Reg GT2? The only one I can find online currently is on Ebay, but comes from the US. Hoping to find something in the UK. Cheers.

Re: Sweet as a nut MK2 - sudden loss of power on steep hill
Hi Scrappy, I took it into the garage to check the fuel lines/filter/tank etc, and it's come back with a clean bill of health. So, everything up to the carb has been checked and is fine. So, I'd like to investigate your angle next. It's worth noting that a few weeks back, before the issue on the inc...

Re: Sweet as a nut MK2 - sudden loss of power on steep hill
Thanks, will check later. I've seen a small rust spot coming through inside the boot, the other side of the fuel filler neck, which is quite possibly cause by this.

That's good news. I've just purchased the brass parcel shelf supports from him.

Re: Sweet as a nut MK2 - sudden loss of power on steep hill
I've just realised that finding a replacement fuel filler neck can be very hard, judging by past forum posts. Is it still hard? Can a similar part for another vehicle be used instead?

Re: Sweet as a nut MK2 - sudden loss of power on steep hill
I decided to test it when driving home from work today. Up a gradual hill I accelerated from 4th to 5th, and then put my foot down again...sure enough, it started to protest, and resist. It's only done it twice - but both times I was accelerating up a hill in 5th. Does this clarify anything that has...

Re: Sweet as a nut MK2 - sudden loss of power on steep hill
Thanks for these. I'm not confident enough to go fiddling inside the carb, so I'll probably tell these possibilities to the trusted mechanic and let him explore. I'd be fine doing this if I was shown beforehand, but just going by descriptions I'd be worried of doing something wrong to the detriment ...

Sweet as a nut MK2 - sudden loss of power on steep hill
Hi Scirocco Register! My name is Will, and in January of this year I was lucky enough to find a lovely K reg GT2. The car was sold on here, and has Scirocco Reg stickers in the windows so I thought I'd come here for some advice. Brief background: used as daily driver, never missed a beat, Weber carb...
