Cheers for the link. I might look into those a little later as I'm a little skint at the moment.

 

Well had some bad luck this morning on the way to work. The head gasket decided to pack it in, luckly I got it off the motor way on a slip road before it over heated. Now I need to decide what I'm gonna do next, change the head gasket and send the head off or change the engine.

 

bad luck

 

Fix it cant beat a K-jet engine

 

Some good news, head gasket is okbut I do need to replace a coolant hose. Time to get it ready for MOT

 

Whoop whoop

 

The cause of my scare, the heater matrix feed hose.

Fixed nowtime to start looking at what it's gonna take to get her MOT'd

 

Caught just in time by the looks of it

 

yeah, I was just happy I was able to pull off the road before it over heated

 

I remember that happened to a Gti I had once, couldnt stop, and it slowly started to pink more[:^(] It was fine though after I fixed hose

Theres something very tough looking about your car, cant put my finger on what it is though, Ill have to spend more time looking at it to try figure it out

 

Thanks, let me know when you figure it out.

 

So yesterday I had my windscreen replaced, so while it was out I had a look for the dreded rust that was bound to be there
This is what I found
passenger side


this is the bit I was really worried about

Drivers side



unfortunatly I didn't have time to do anything about it but over the next few months the windscreen will be back out and I will treat and fix the little rust there is

 

could be alot worse , thats not soo bad really

 

I was really worried about it because I could see the little rust bubble just under the rubber seal, it never got any bigger though. I'm quite pleased TBH

 

Some new parts to be fitted soon

 

Interesting to see what it looks like under the screen rubber; I've got this job to do tomorrow and am experiencing similar amount of trepidation and anxiety.. as Pigbladder says it doesn't really look too bad - definitely needs seeing to, but it doesn't look properly rotten anywhere.

Yay for shiney new bits too

 

Yeah, I'll have to have the screen out again to fix it but right now it's all about trying to get it MOT'd for Curby
