What did you fix/replace on your Mk1 today?

Fitted a new radiator fan, seems to be doing the job! (touch wood)

So my mate came round on the weekend and we sorted out the fuel pump wiring (now chunky 20A instead of the paltry 10A that was there before and couldn't really cope with the lovely Australian weather).

We also put the original fuel pump back in, and cleaned all the crap out of the gauze that got in there when he ran the tank dry bringing the car down to mine originally.

On the down side, the banjo fitting connecting the fuel line to the end of the pump was a bit rusty and we kind of need a new one now.

So, the car is up on a 30 degree angle until I can source a new one as we didn't manage to get all the petrol out of the tank before starting.

Not sure whether i'm going to be able to source one locally, or have to get the parents to trawl a wreckers yard in the UK for one, or get one made up - anyone got any bright ideas?

shouldn't be too hard to get one made up, But I'd go to a wreckers first and have a hunt under some Kjet Volvo's, merc and BMW's. might turn up something appropriate for the price of admission!

Enzed will probably be my first port of call, seeing as there's a shop 5 minutes walk from my house and i've not got the foggiest where my nearest knackers yard is (plus new>possibly just as rusty). Ta for your input though Jarred!

Replaced the windsreen wiper motor which decided to give out last weekend in the middle of a storm. Then spent the rest of the day fixing a broken headlight, foglight, bumper and ariel from a run in with a large piece of native wildlife.

Looks much better now and the wiper motor turned out to be $80 job which was a lot cheaper than I woulda reckoned on

I put on new rear discs and pads, front and rear wheel bearings and a set of new top shock mounts.
What a job doing the front wheel bearings... first time I've done them on my Golf! I followed Peter Jones' method here. All done, just wheel alignment to get sorted!
