    The scirocco ones run at a lower pressure than the golf pieces.
    Thank you. Thought that the Rocco hatch was heavier & would need harder
    strut.
    Since they are lighter gassed - the rebuilt ones might be fine .

    Thanks. You Cracked me up..... What or where is ASV , perhaps you better not post that on open forum - they may get shut down.

    You eased my concerns about Blueys , maybe mine will pass

    Thanks to my Daughter [ son reckons he's too sick to help ]
    the Brakes are working , they still need a little more work - but at least they work.

    -I will be getting struts for hatch - but that may take some time - want to get
    it registered [ like yesterday ! ].

    -demister , still trying to work out whats wrong.

    -rear washer , not pumping [ wiper working ].

    Thats about it, then cruise around " hopefully visit some enthusiasts ".
    psst they may take better photos....

    oh - it still needs a good buffing & waxing.

    The place is going down the toilet because of how badly they do business anyway, so why not make the most of it while it lasts ?

    Thanks for that, I asked around some of my mates - they told me of a place
    that is " very fair " and is very close to where I live. So will try them.

    Been a long time.......... I am still working to get this Registered. Ran out of Cash, but
    now my Tax return is in, Hoping this Friday to get Blue slip.
    I drove to Public weighbridge at Landsdowne.
    Weighed in at 780 Kg
    Of course I was hoping for lighter. Ha Ha.
    Is certainly nice to drive. I just Love the sound of those Dells Purring. . !!
    - I stuffed up with the Buffing , so more work is required on the paint.
    Oh well, practice makes perfect.
    -
    Cant believe that this car weighs in less than the little Mazda 2 [ bubble car thing ].

    Am so Dissapointed.... I went for Blue slip on Friday, Turns out the car has no compliance plate...........
    So now I am trying to figure out what I can do to get it registered.
    -
    Has any one else struggled with this problem ?
