How crazy was the cost Eddy? Our daughter would like to go more frequently but it's £90 a month plus "optional" insurance! I'd had no idea it was this much when she started and then was invited to join the squad....
Likewise - Instead I had to sit through two hours of gymnastics display in a cold warehouse. Daughter's display lasted just over 2 mins, but couldn't leave until it had all finished.
Do hope it pulls off for you! I do hate it when things like this happen - the number of jobs I hear of when people go for them, perform well and then the panel re-evaluate if they need to fill the role at all! You don't care so much when you're employed and have that safety net but so gutting on so many levels to get so far, like the place, do a good interview, be a good fit etc....And then they change their mind! Best of luck with it and hope it goes your way
Could you include some photos, perhaps the reg and some rough idea of price. Although there's less of a market for an auto, all mk2 Golfs are still sought after by the right kind of person! I think with a few more details it'd help massively. I'm interested myself but I've not yet finished my own mk2 project and probably get shot if I sourced yet another!
Ah ha, you are looking for the same one I had to source too. Only fitted to 88 and 89 before it changed to CE2. Slightly chunky stalk and more modern than the earlier.
I sourced mine from Mark Carter at Classic VW in the end. Excellent service and helped where the other two main suppliers couldn’t.
It is a uncommon part though so he may not have another but worth a try!
I have a Scirocco one - not sure how this differs from the mk2 Golf one. Mine is a 331 953 503K . I believe it's the same part but I'll do some more digging.
Great, another local! My bloody fuel pump has failed yet again, so another set back to getting mine back on the road again! When I do get this resolved and all the other 100s of jobs, I no doubt be up for a good tour around the area and will beep and wave if I see anyone.
There is, I did buy the cheap one and although I can connect to it there’s no way of telling the head unit to switch to that input.
Looks to be about £30 for the CD emulator version so a bit steep but I’ll probably still go for it.
I did consider a mk4 head unit too, but when I took it apart to change the illumination it’s got about a million SMD LEDs and didn’t fancy changing every single one! At least this one offers CD rather than the tape deck on the mk4.
My top tip would be zip tying the rear compensator. Before I did this I just couldn't do the rear brakes. Jacked the car up and still no joy. I used a Gunson kit I think - from Screwfix for about £20. I'm sure there's better/cheaper ones out there, but once I had let some air out of the spare tyre (it needs a low PSI to work) the system worked well. A little more fiddly than I'd hoped but used minimal fluid (I'd changed my M/C and all the solid brake lines) so needed a full flush/replace) and was pleased to have done it all myself!
