    ooh , exciting day for the Mk1 Rocco today.
    Matt says " bring it around this arvo, we can put your new motor in today "
    I says " but I wont be there till 4pm , is there enough time ? "
    Matt " yeah, no prob "
    Well I must say that they slotted that Beautiful new motor in , in record time, I was Very Impressed.
    now I have a Twin Engined Rocco.
    UNREAL.
    One small problem though Matt, it , ummm , didnt go any better than before.
    In fact , I suspect it goes worse.
    Maybe a bit of tuning.....
    Maybe the engines are out of Sync.

    Any suggestions Matt ?
    Glenn....with Old Scirocco to replace old Beetle.

    Changed the alternator belt today...

    Turns out that the mechanics forgot to tighten the alternator when they repaired it...
    The first time it spat the belt off, it damaged it... Spat the old belt off another 4 times before I got to the shop (4km) to buy a new belt...

    Can't really blame the mechanics though...
    The lady that booked the car in told them that she couldn't pay before they completely finished the job...
    So I paid the bill, and bought the car off of her at a reduced cost...

    Fitted new wiper heads today...
    I put 450mm ones on both sides, but next time I think I'll put a 400mm on the left...

    Still waiting on the supplier to get back to me about the peloquin 80% thrust kit (which just so happens to contain the seals that I need)...
    Still haven't ordered the reverse light switch, an interior light, and apparently now, a right hand steering rack boot...

    Spent some more time cleaning it up prior to the rego check...

    Steam cleaned the engine bay to get rid of most of the oil / dirt. Came up fairly nice.
    Cleaned the paint off the front indicators.
    Repaired the knob on the drivers window winder.
    Moved the boot light into the cabin so that there is a door light.
    Put a lower seat cover to 'repair' the small hole in the drivers seat.
    Put a floor mat down to 'repair' the small hole in the drivers foot well carpet.
    Cleaned out the reverse light switch and it now works again.
    The flange seals have fixed themselves... Yippee...
    The engine oil leak looks like it was mostly over pour, well that and an ever so slightly leaking sump plug, which I tightened.
    Lubed and adjusted the clutch cable, so that's a little better to use.

    So, as far as I can tell, it's just the CV boot and the steering rack boot to go...
    Damn post being too slow...
