Re: Drum brake issues
There is only one way to successfully set up the rear drums.

Re: Spark Plugs
Check the NGK catalogue online and it shows as BP7ES (Iridium is BPR7EIX) , if you then go onto www.sparkplug-crossreference.com and put that NGK number in it will give you any other options from all manufacturers. FYI on my Corrado I went onto the Iridium equivalent , bought cheap off the web and ...

Re: Disappointing GTX news
Sad fact that any older cars that are worth huge amounts of money (ie not E types etc ) will be written off for fairly minor amounts of damage. Body Panel prices for a 30 year old Scirocco (where they are available new) will be on par with those for a similar mk3 Scirocco that will have a much ...
