MK5 Golf GTI

Lowering springs fitted, looks so much better now

2.5hr drive to AKS in a Polo Bluemotion  to collect my Ed30.

@vRSAlex has done a sterling job sorting out my clutch issues 

The long story: Helix supplied Statller the wrong clutch kit (no way to tell as no part no's stamped on it), statller fitted it (it fitted and took up drive just fine - no fault of Statller there). . . When hot the clutch seemed to drag and it was difficult to engage first & reverse. . . Spoke to Alex, who thought it could be clutch hydraulics so booked in with him, replaced master cylinder - issue still there, decided to remove gearbox and noticed clutch was different to other Helix clutches he had. . . Alex called Helix and got a new clutch sorted, and fitted it.

He even stayed late to adjust my exhaust and fix the dogbone mount which my mate & I fitted the wrong way round 

Finally can enjoy driving my car again 

@vRSAlex enjoy a beer tonight fella, you've earnt it

Would that be the desperados I spied when I was there this afternoon?

maybe 

^^^^ Glad you (or should I say Monsieur Kerr) got the root of the problem Graeme. 

It was yesterday actually...... Used GTechnic glass sealant for the first time yesterday but saw the benefits this morning. That stuff is Amazaballs!!

Refitted a cv boot which has come off yet again and spread grease all over the wheel of the car and torn it.
Now thinking it would have been better going to the pub! 

Booked in to have my first ever big mod fitted

B12 Sportlines suspension kit!!!!

Washed, vacuumed and installed a new can gateway and RCD500 dab. Still need a dab aerial though :D

Rescued a dead R32 at a Shell station

Yup, something draining it quite badly.

Finally fixed my highline brake light after it being out for nigh on a year! Don't know why I put it off so long.. Literally took 20 mins!

^^^^ Mine still works fine but seems to have damp inside it, not looking forward to that job, looks a PITA.

It's actually really easy, I've done 2 now and as long as you're careful its a 20 main job with no problems.
