throttle cable outer kinked in 2 places, cable frayed, super close to snapping... so replaced it with a bmx brake cable...
dodgy, but will suffice for now
anyone have a spare one lying around? or somewhere local (syd) i can pick one up from?

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.

Nothing wrong with BMX bike cables They're what connects my foot to the twin Dellortos in my race Golf.
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!

thinking its a problem with the actual selector within the box, but dont really want to fork out a ton of money for a mechanic to tell me i need a new gearbox
Today I have mostly been procrastinating, then dismantling stuff, then swearing, then calling for assistance...
Fuel pump was not the source of my woes, as it turns out. On the plus side didn't manage to cover myself in petrol, however the engine bay was given a good *ahem* clean while checking the pressure...
Followed it all up by managing to quite convincingly almost poo myself while test driving. The sluggishness in first gear and up to 2500rpm is no more. Must behave myself even more now...
There is no Golf in my life. This is unacceptable...
had to buy 2 sets as fronts different size to rear. rear ones fit perfect but fronts are to small got the 57.1 - 67.1... think i need the 68mm.
