personally i would pop it the way you want it and then add a bit of heat till the metal has shrunk enough to hold it, its the way we do it at work if needed Thanks Chris

Its people like you which makes me love owning a certain toy, i am enjoying the build and i am stuck for words that haven't already been said. Time to move onto your td5 thread now lol

haha yeah the chassis is bad and after crawling around it over the past few days it has highlighted that i have beed repairing the good bits lol. I was thinking new chassis as well but have decided against it has i will be making a weld in cage next year and didnt want to pay for a part galvo...

Unfortunately for me it was my fault :( When me and my dad did the cambelt i was the labour who got underneath and put the drill but in the fly wheel. Although it went in it was in ****ed, and having it only a little out made a massive difference to the timing. I am kind of glad it happened...

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO Its fixed, well so far only had it idling on the drive but i will have to go for a drive to double check but cant go to far as the bloody fuel filler cap lock has decided to stop working lol... One day i will drive it in anger :)

Still racking my brains over this, the first part of the vid is me holding the throttle wide open and getting what seems like 2k rpm then after a little bit it unblocks itself. http://vid181.photobucket.com/albums/x74/chris-gti/IMG_2517.mp4 Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Thread Update After last weekends struggle to find life in the old girl i spent most of the week researching different solutions to different problems. If anyone can shed any light on the problems i would be very grateful. I bought a set of these as mine were faded and needed replacing...

Mini Update Sorry guys no pics today as this week has been a right faff trying to get it to run right. Problem 1 I had my first hint of a start up on tuesday night and it wouldnt rev past 2k so we had a look around the engine and decided the first port of call would be to change the fuel lift...

oooo yeah it also seems massively strangled as foot to the floor it wont rev past what seems like 2500rph or less

Most was coming from the exhaust as it was filling the garden up but i could see smoke rising from the bay but only a little amount. I must admit fault finding and diagnosing in the dark is not the best idea. Ill have a look tomorrow and see what else i can find. Thanks for writing back mudhunter

Right guys. I am having a few issues with the landy, got everything done to get her started up oil, battery etc. Went to start her up and it idled fine so i thought bonus timing must be correct. Went to rev it and it wont rev past what sounds like 2000rpm and there was a fair amount of what...

Stonesinboots, Kwak lad and Landyfox thanks for the comments, its been good fun mucking about with it. It is becoming a bit of an addiction lol

Thread Update I managed to get some time on the landy during the course of the week and today to get it as close to finish as possible. After i had fitted the slam panel last week i noticed that the bonnet release cable didn't work so a new one was ordered during the week and thankfully it...

Thanks GATSO, it was bugging me not knowing what it was. Thanks aaron, half way through your billion page "round 2" thread. Epic

Mini Update A wading kit would not be complete without the purchase of one of these, its kind of a christmas prezzie to myself for all the overtime i have been working. I know i could of gone for a cheaper alternative from ebay but i just love the look, the build quality and finish that...

Thread update This update is a combo of bits that i tinkered with during the week in the evenings and the stuff i did today. I had a nice little delivery from the postie this week, nice wading kit and 2 bonnet rubbers. That coupled with a few bits i had shot blasted and spayed. I know the...

lol i love the no oils tags, its surprising how easy it is to use the thing dry and ruin it.

Thread update Much thanks must go to my misses for buggering off for the weekend :) and letting me get on with the landy. So this is update 2 out of 3.. I started off this morning thinking to myself "you are a *£$%^& nugget" because when i went to refit my suspension i realised i hadn't...

Thanks Rambirkett.
