Al Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Never seen a hard top version 'on the road' but certainly looks nice. Really like the silver A-pillar and roof, almost A4 Coupe in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 looks like a tidy example Tim, can't see any signs of hard use style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Need to get the hardtop sprayed black though don't like the silver on black. Have you taken it off and tried the soft top, shoudl check that it's in working order before you bought it just to be sure, a new one is almost a grand.have you done the usual checks - is the header tank plastic gone milky (ready to explode and needs replaced as the uv light has degraded it), radiator hoses are clipped and well attached (prevent a flood of fluid over windscreen in traffic), condition of suspension arms (not too corroded), the sock filter for the air intake has been done (save you being hit by wasps and stones sucked inside the car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hey Crusoe - cheers for the tips:* Checked header tank, looks brand new* Havent checked clips, but will do!* Sock is on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) First thing to invest in is a dose of Seemann style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />http://www.divingdirectshop.co.uk/product_...235905eba98da89recommendation for most softtops is that you grease your seals every three months with silicon grease to keep them supple. Will stop most leaks too as long as the turbo seals have been fitted.(did you check the turbo seals upgrade has been done?) Turbo ones have extra rain channels on the top header rail.

tdwindustries Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Havent seen the soft top, but hes a very nice bloke and trust him 100%, so we will see! Roof has never leaked, hes not sure if its had the upgrade.... will check it out.Windows need adjusting as they get stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
