Re: Bike rack

Hadn't really thought about a tow bar but looks like it's probably the best option. Any idea how easy they are to fit?

Bike rack

Does anyone use their Scirocco for carrying bikes? I need to carry 2 bikes and they won't fit in the boot even with the seats down. Anyone have any recommendations for any suitable racks for the rear hatch. Thank you :)

I'd be interested in putting my car on the stand, if there's space.

Suspension upgrade for GTII

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced suspension replacement? Car is a Mk2 GTII. I'd like to replace the whole struts at the front as they were an advisory at the last MOT but don't want to drop the ride height too much. Also don't want the ride to be too hard. Any advice would be welcome.

Re: I hate white cars.

I had a look at this and very nearly bought it myself. Nice car and the interior is in really good condition considering it's white. I found the suspension very bouncy and a bit too low so I think you're right to change it. Other than that it seemed like a good car and I hope you enjoy it.

Nice red GT with alloys in Wilmslow yesterday.

Re: front number plate

Good choice of picture - that car used to be mine! I think the plate was just bolted through the top of the plate into the two holes that you mention. When I got it I seem to remember it was just screwed into the black rubber strip. I don't remember any bracket but if you look at the one on e-bay (i...

Re: NEW Fuel pump making noise??

It looks like part no. 18389 Fuel Pump In Tank on the GSF website. It's listed for 1.8 injection Sept 84 onwards (earlier than this they are gravity fed so don't have one). They are very straightforward to replace as per the post above. I replaced both in my GTX and the main one is still quite noisy...
