                Sorry Stephy...I should know better, having been a 'Mexican' whilst living in Nthn. NSW for 5 years and working with Rednecks on the Gold Coast everday, who had no idea about how great places like Vic. and Tas. really are and hang sh*t on them, yet had never, ever been there !!!...me, I love Tassy and my ol' folks spend more of their time in Launy than in Melbourne !!!

                back to topic.....put new gas shocks thru'out the Cabby today, and wow they make a diff. when you're down low!!!

                • working up motivation to go outside, looks crappy so really cant be bothered.

                  Should go check a few things, any idea what points gap is for a 1.8L manual says 0.4mm for 1.6L

                  Really should go electric,

                            Would that depend on what brand it is? I should get the Golf back on Friday and if no one else has helped you out with pics I will take some. This is what ours has-
