Are you going.to.do.the cv boots yourself? I can certainly help you with the driver side one. Id say have someone there on hand to help/hold when you need it

In all honesty, probably not! I'll watch my boyfriend doing them so I've got an idea what to do.. I'm really nervous when it comes to mechanics :ashamed: I'll do the oil and filter change myself but he's said cv boots can be tricky/annoying so I'm not confident at all!
Pesky jones:
Yeah they can be. the difficulty is disconnecting and reconnecting the CV joint. took me about 7 hours total lol. I'm sure I could at least half that now I've done it before. You also need the right pliers to close the clamps around the boots.

Lovely looking edition 30, glad its all been repaired!, where did you get the pressed plates from as well ?
Thanks
Mark

My boyfriend burst a driveshaft on his mk4 on the way to edition 38 last month and managed to get it changed over in 30 minutes tops with his friend... He's really quite good so hopefully it won't be too much of a rubbish job considering the weather's starting to worsen. Damn winter :scared:

I got them off ebay, about 19.50 from a member called Unit67! I've bought 5 or 6 of these exact plates and they're fantastic :) I've not been pulled with them on, and neither has anyone else that I bought them for!
