bossjohnc Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 DAAARGH!Every time my loop goes in it comes back with something missing.There's a ring near the end of the handbrake which covers the end of the leather and the beginning of the silver button - it's now missing.I'll look on Elsa but I don't hold out much hope as I'm not that great with it! Anyone else? Snoop?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Drive Loop back and ask them to fit one while you wait!P.S. Wouldn't you rather need ETKA?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 It goes without saying that they won't have one in stock - a lad I talk to there knows about it and I'll be ringing him shortly. Elsa should do I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I managed to get access to both and only ETKA gives part numbers, ELSA seems to be for maintenance and repairs purposes mainly (I only had a play with it for some time and I am no expert so if there's a way to get part numbers I am all ears, or eyes in here style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 But you've had your gearbox done, what was the need in the first place to mess around with the handbrake? and if they weren't messing with the handbrake how the hell did they get it off by merely operating it normally?

Snoopy Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />ELSA is for service manuals, ETKA is for part numbers. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Can't find that as a seperate part though - guess it comes as part of the handbrake lever trim. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted November 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I'll be getting the entire trim from my dealer then - got a part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Cool - it's on order, be with them tomorrow. As is the usual case, the GTI bit differs to the other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
