what have you done to your car today ?

[iammooks]

So that brings another episode of 'well that was a ******* pain in the arse but it'll be worth it if it works' to an end.

And for the first time in my life I remembered to reconnect the washer hose before I put the scuttle back together.

Thanks @Thai-wronghorse for the tip that's what it could be.

While I'm at it, has anyone got a link to the scuttle pins?

I've had one broken one in there for years and just want it looking right. I know there are people who say you don't need them, but just humour me...

Here’s the part number for you to look up: 1M0853547A
TPS or local VAG dealer should have them.

That's perfect - thank you. Now if only anyone had them on eBay. Looks like a trip to the dealer for me.

EDIT: Typing in the part number on Google brings up parts numbers for manufacturers who use the same part. Typed some of those into eBay search instead and found some.

It was ten of them for about £3 I think. They're coming from Latvia but if they arrive, you're welcome to have a couple. Ten is more than I need anyway.

Fit my newly painted wheel to the car and removed a tyre to fit the winter tyre on the rim and fit the other winter tyre

I'm fairly confident I've established now that I need new rear beam bushes.

I went ahead and got some of those flo flex ones on the way. Not sure if I’m gonna try fitting them myself or not yet!

The bushes are very easy to fit. Do them in couple of hours and that's with seized bolts etc

Sounds good, I’m gonna mutilate the ones in there and bash them out.
