    just bought a mk1. standard nuts and bolts checks over the weekend.

    dont have fifth, and first or reverse is pot luck, so just ordered a new linkage bushing kit.


    also can anyone recommend a good transmission/gearbox oil?

    The (carby) end of mine was starting to come apart at the bracket. I sliced a bit of solid rubber hose and wrapped it around it, cable tie either side of the break in the outer skin. Meh, works.

    Found out the ignition siwthc is gradually dying, X circuit isn't connecting meaning I have only park lights, no demister, air blower or wipers. Weekend job methinks!
