Arghhhhhhhhh I love a bargain
« on: November 14, 2014, 08:51:28 pm »
Whilst browsing ebay last weekend I thought I would do a search for a set of highline clocks I came across this set of 974,s for sale at £50 or best offer and only 30 minutes from me.


I thought why not try my luck and offered the seller £25 low and behold he accepted my offer, other than the perspex cover being slightly scratched it's definitely a steal at £25.

Like I said I love a bargain, having missed out on a MFSW previously I have been on the look out for one.
I was watching this one on also on eBay for a few days


It was listed with a reserve price, however despite the reserve price there appeared to be minimal interest.
So I was constantly checking it, 20 seconds prior to the sale ending the highest bid was at £62, so I struck with my highest bid of £100.
So there you go a MFSW in absolutely good condition for a crazy low price.

 Can anyone suggest which steering module  is required, I can post the MFSW part number if needed.

Cheers Rob1

The CH  (1K0 953 549 CH) module is the one to go for, assuming you have the type 2 slip ring.
Also supports mk6 mfsw if you decide to swap in the future. :)

If you can get your hands on a Dremmel and polishing kit for it, I polished a set a while ago and removed most of the swirls.

Good bargin hunting!  :happy2:
