New from GSF and all greased up. I was going to remove it again this morning and have a look see.

Pretty much as it says in the header.

Just fitted a new inner CV joint and the inner bit won't move, the cage can be pushed in slightly but the drive shaft doesn't move through its range of movement. So what's going on there then?

Quite possibly me! I was on my way home from Whitby. Sorry I didn't see you, I usually keep my eyes peeled for other 'roccos

Black Mk 2 seen on Sunday somewhere between Hedge End and Eastleigh. Seen by a workmate so another proxy spot

Saw two on my travels this weekend A white G reg Scala in Portchester on Saturday. Spoke to the owner, it was his 7th Scirocco. He is aware of the Register but hasn't joined.
