Just gauging if there is any interest -
Just gauging if there is anyone interested in buying a left hand drive 1981 Mk 1 GTi, which is now tax exempt, before I spend time in posting a formal For Sale ad in the Classifieds. Car is red, and has a full Zender bodykit, but it does need some tidying up. I believe the engine is a later 1.8 (ins...

Re: Instrument Cluster Removal Mk2
Hi Trevor You have six pins along the top of the thick arm of the "L" which are a push fit into sockets and should lever out fairly easily. There are some plastic lugs (not sure how many) that the "L" shaped board clips under - certainly one on the end of the thick arm, one along...

Re: Fuel leak from pipe attached to fuel pump?
The most fuel that will come out, will be what drains back out of the main fuel pump and what drains out of the small plastic tank through the metal pipe to the hose you are about to replace. The fuel is not gravity fed from the fuel tank but supplied via the in tank lift pump.

Re: Seat tilt cable fitting
I took some photos when I did my passenger seat. If you pm me your email address I will dig them out and send them to you. There are a couple of wire loops on the seat frame that you have to thread the cable through.

Re: Wanted! Dash Cluster with economy gauge
You may need to specify whether you have a VDO or Motometer set of clocks, as they have different configurations of plugs.

The other wires coming out of the connector should run through plastic sleeving to connector blocks ...
