  1. If I remember correctly (I did this 2 years ago and have since moved on from lupos lol) the spring does have to be removed but it’s very self-explanatory as to how it goes back together and I never had any issues after they’d been apart
  2. Ah ok mate, knew they would stick out a bit but don’t want it stupid crazy. Might hand my own to 7 ish
  3. Just a standard 1 lite mate
  4. Had an offer to swap 2 of my 6j g60 steels for some that are banded 8j and wondering if anyone knows if they would fit? Would be running 195/50 tyres. Cheers
  5. Hi, I’ve just bought a Momo which means I need to get my old wheel off. No matter how hard I try I can’t for the life of me get the right clip to release. I managed to get the left one out but looking inside the holes they look different. Can anyone help? Would be much appreciated

  8. Turns out that nearly two years ago when I bought the car the little round black thing in the ash tray was a replacement genuine Vag selector shaft seal, could be a free repair??
  9. Ahh cheers pal that saves me a lot of headache, it looks like it is coming from there so will probably just keep topping it up??
  10. Noticed that my gearbox has been slowly dripping since I bought my lupo. As I’m wanting it to be as flawless as possible for when I start to drive I want to replace whatever seal it is that’s causing the leak so looks like I have to pull the box. Wondered if anyone had any tips as I’ve never done anything as involved before. Car is a 1.0 AUC if that helps. Cheers

  12. Doing a complete subframe overhaul which includes replacing all the bolts, only part number I can't find is for the 2 front main subframe bolts. Anyone happen to know the part number for them? Cheers
  13. Yeah the first bolts I tried to loosen we’re the 4 subframe ones and thankfully they all loosened instead of just spinning
  14. Was thinking of jet washing it then wire brushing any surface rust then stone chipping it, waxoyl the inside of it and maybe the outside. Also thinking of putting a kind of skid plate or undertray on it too
  15. Yeah it’s on he drivers side unfortunately, to be fair mate I wanted to refurb my sundframe anyway so might as well do it now or i’ll never get round to it
  16. I spontaneously decided that maybe restoring my subframe would be a good idea so started off by seeing if all the bolts would loosen, turns out that one wouldn’t
  17. Nah mate unfortunately a bolt that holds the rack to the subframe has snapped so I need to get access to the top of the rack to weld a bolt to what’s left of the old one to stand a chance of getting it out. Thanks anyway
  18. Can anyone tell me if I need to drop the subframe to remove the steering rack? Cheers
  19. I did the 2 bolts and pulled it towards me and worked a treat! Thanks for all the help!
  20. I know mate, mine never seems to be that accurate though. Had a few cases where something’s clearly on the piss but my phone says it’s level.
  21. Will do pal, won’t be a while until I get round to it so if I have any problems i’ll Let you know
