    Also pretty jealous of that nice 'rocco.
    You can never have enough Mk1 rocco spares, there is already a huge list of NLA parts for them.

    Car aint that nice either, its a bit of a bodywork nightmare. Twill get around to it once more room is available in the shed...
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,

    I feel ya. I drive a far from perfect W108 Benz around far too much, and looking at that photo of your 'rocco I imagine driving that would be just as satisfying!

    mk1 1982 cabrio gti sorted at last !!!!,!new coil , distributer and ignition switch as well , drove down to the shopping centre and boom the clutch went to the floor 8 pm at night hahahaha , in the car park !
    So lucky i orderd a spare clutch cable a month ago , so off i went into the shops to aquire a little torch and had my manual there too ... took me an hour and a half to put it in but hey it was the first time at fitting a cable , tricky under the pedals i must add !!! the problem was the old rubber grommet went through the hole in the fire wall , cos it was a left hand drive the hole was to big on the right hand side ! so as it happend the grommet cut its way through .....

    haha! I have a similar story!

    I kept hearing this creaky/scratchy noise on my way to uni one day, I didn't think much of it. but I pull into the car park, put my foot on the clutch whilst slowing down and snap! it went, lucky i was in first, and right near a spot, so I rolled into a spot, went and borrowed a cable off my mate, and then replaced it for the first time in the middle of the car park! in a nice part of town too! gold!

    Common problem, there is a repair patch available if the firewall hole is cracked or to big.

    My car ?? had to do a new radiator fit up last night, was overheating during the day... so quick inspection after work and the socialising netted a buggered end tank. Good thing I have a few spares on the shelf..
