Sorry talking cross purposes here, i was talking about the insulation on the underside of the bonnet,i thought that was what you had done.:D

Sorry man, err, I assumed you mean the top engine cover, as in rocker/ cam cover lol

Mine just pulled out, I eased my hands behind each clip first, only broke the one though... Use a trim tool if your worried:)

How how how? Lol
My audi used to do that, is it possible to program a mk1 'y' to do it do you think?
It does it through the lock, but it's not quite the same...

the program i used motordiag follow lee69 link but here are the instructions i followed. the cable i used was blue i had got from the bay a while ago.

Install the software... Dalsi= Next Instolovat=Install Dokoneit=done
Hit OK to whatever message pops up.
The program will open and click "registrovat zdarma!"
The Setup window opens up. At this point you want to click on the box that says "Ziskat registracni kliic zdarma!"
It will open up the website.
In the first box on the website enter the code located to the left of the "Ziskat registracni kliic zdarma!" button in the setup window
In the second box enter your email address.
Then click "odeslat"
Wait for them to send you an email with the registration code and enter it in the empty box on the steup screen.
Then select "Registruj"
Make sure your cable is connected and tested in the top right section of the setup dialog box
Then click on the button with the green check mark.
A new screen will pop up... I selected "Pokrocovat"
Now the program opens up and I selected "Aktivace Oken" = activate window.
I then clicked "OK" twice and the program did it's thing, and magic, my windows open and close using my key fob.

i put the ignition on after i connected the lead to the car.

Please, i take no reposniblity, do at your own risk. to be fair i had my fingers and toes crossed lol

Follow lee69 link and then there is a link to to download the program motordiag, it is in czech but Google will translate the web page. Then all you need is the cable. Where are you based?

Yes they work, but if your handbrake sticks, get it serviced/cleaned first. I put them in as a precaution.

yeh or another way of testing your capilers then just put your hand brake on and then take it off,drive along for 5 mins or so if you can feel the heat of the disc then the capiler is sticking.get abit of grease and work up the hand brake cable and grease it up so your making it move freeley,also do the same for the capiler.
mine was pretty fooked up so did the best i could in greaseing it up and wd 40 and fit the springs,if i leave the handbrake on over night it some times can still stick so i just stop ther car and put the handbrake arm back into postion.

Had the drivers side soundproofing taken out and though about having a goldfish feature lol Just got to wait for a new windscreen (from a mate) and seal up all the skuttle holes/entry where the water comes in.
