Interested in the wheels and seats are they still available?

Thanks Alan i will leave them RRS

Ford de dion fitment? if so i will have them please RRS

These still for sale?

What price you looking for?

Hi Alan could be interested what size are the tires. I have just put 185/50/R14 on my set and had to lift the car 26 mm on each corner to get the ground clearance back. On 13" they will have to be 60?

Are these still for sale ford or BL fitment? RRS

Finmac are the brake discs and calipers still for sale? RRS

Christ *eek* i must not be trying my yoko 352's are coming up to 26000 miles and i do push them but i still have a couple of mm on them yet. My 15" 32's soft compound only lasted 3000 miles till they were not road leagal but they are a nice slick for the track now. Goes away muttering must try harder must try harder RRS

Ok guys as requested and well called RJ. Its the ignition relay dropping out due to the coils getting hot from a short. Hence as it heats it losses magnatism and drops out taking everything off with it except the hazards. 80 quid for the relay 70 quid for the diagnostics and a couple of hours labour for the replacement. So all in all not to bad. Bet i could find the relay for 20 quid somewhere. Any way thats one for the memory banks on VW TDi,s This sort of makes sense as it was running too well whan it was on Mystery solved and well done BC RRS

Nigel mines a 1989 super sprint chasis with de dion back end and has a 2 l zetec E with siera box on it and the cross braces at sump level and it all goes in and out quite nicely. also has the top braces on in the engine bay on the exhaust and carb side. So they do fit. I had on old A1 sump fitted by james whiting who did the conversion in 1996 before i became the owner of the car originally it had a cross flow. Now got a raceline sump after knocking a hole in mine best bit of kit i have bought not cheap but brilliant. Good luck Oh and by the way i hate throttle bodies so i have twin 45 DCOE's and love the inlet valve slap and the ocassional flash of blue from them when i realy give it some welly enjoy RRS Just spotted the pics yes its tight on the bottom pully. Set it all up lock of the cams and take the bely an pully off pleanty of room then. 4 bolts for rad out and put the timing belt on in the car. Quite often change it that way no probs and it does make it a lot easier to get in and out. Edited by - Rust Red Seven on 8 May 2013 11:46:12

If it were injector problems it would not run like it does when its on and as RJ says the dash would not go out. I think its electrical could be immobaliser unit or ECU or something behind the dash. Any way we wait and see what VW say it is and brace for a large bill. Thanks for the suggestions guys and as soon as i know what the prognoses is i will let you know. The suspence is killing me RRS

Deaf from the exhaust who said that, who said that, Who Who *smokin* My twin 45 DCOE's make almost as much noise ase the exhaust on the back of the 2 l Zetec 😬 😬 😬 RRS

RJ thanks for the offer of help but i am in Abu Dhabi UAE and the car is in the UK and is booked into VW for Wednesday. It might take 3 stops and starts to get there but unfortunately thats where its going to end up. I was trying to get a handel on it before it goes in. I can send the engine number across as the diagrams are always usefull. Thanks RRS

RJ you could be right a component that is faulty heating up and shutting it all down then it cools off and starts again. How the hel do you find it without the VW diagnostics? RRS
