Re: [WANTED] Vesa Alloys
Do you need all 4?
I need to replace one as is damaged and it is unlikely to sell/buy one. If you are in the same situation (one wheel needed) we can buy a pair and split the cost....

Re: front brake "caliper-thing"
Hey Jim, Your post brings another question up. How to know if my carrier is the bigger one or the smaller? I just found someone who is stripping the car and is willing to sell carrier and the pin, it can be posted to me after PayPal (£11.99 + postage)-but again would have to know the size!!! Regards.

Re: Spares needed in glasgow
The problem with second car for spares is that I don't have place to keep it, and now to keep a car on a public road it must be insured as well.
Sad to hear another one is going to be sell for spares.

Spares needed in glasgow
Hi everyone.
Don't know the area to well so need info about places I can't get spares to my 480 from. I will appreciate any info about scrap-yards locations where I can dig out some spares I need. Is there any other used car parts source in Glasgow area?

sunroof sealing leaking...
My sunroof is leaking a bit, the rubber sealing doesn't look to good as the rubber is kind of hard and it is cracking. Any suggestions for the quick fix? The sunroof can be tilled up and pulled back it moves above or under the roof.
