That gives you all of today to find a girl and get her pregnant. Kids in 9 months and grandkids in 15 years - well, you do live in Orange, NSW's answer to Tasmania.

Add a couple more years for the grandkids to wield a spanner and your car will be back on the road.

Hat, coat, I'm outa here........

Haha. I'll finish it. Not much to do now.. Well actually a lot, but in the big picture..

I don't live on the teenage pregnancy side of the tracks anyways..

Thanks to Mick for his assistance with fitting my new dash clocks and radio today. Will get some pics tomorrow.

i didnt actually fix anything, my car did :S

The interior light would come on when passenger door opens, but not drivers... All of a sudden last night it came on

I fixed this on Liam's GTI last weekend, just take the switches in the doors that have a bazillion years of crud/rust/etc and clean the contacts with some sand paper and spray it all with contact cleaner. For the effort it is very rewarding.

my car has been sitting since 2004 from what i can tell, so i m guessing with me using it daily for 3 weeks loosened it up

Its great though, never had a working interior light in a golf!

Tried to fix my heated rear window demister on the red GLD but did not solve the problem.... Work in progress I guess....

Ended up getting the cigarette lighter to work

Not that I use it

Played around with the oil pressure gauge and volt meter in the centre console and got the 2 lights inside the gauges to work again

Overall a great day!

Ps everything else still works as well....
