    suspension

    Handbrake Ratchet

    just phoned my local dealer, and he told me to go to a breakers yard! Dont have time for that. Does anyone know any good sites for parts? I also need a rear parcel shelf and an aerial (although i may just go and get a new one fitted) and the console cover round the stereo (in walnut).

    anyone running 1.9tdi on 100% biofuel?

    a garage has just opened up down the road selling biodiesel for 78.9p a ltr. Question is, i know that it may need a fuel filter change (when i run it on this alone) but is anyone out there already doing this? any issues? It appears that it is made from recycled veg oil, not rape seed...
