That is a horrible sight - to see aTT with a wreck on top -

Having just moved with garage kit not up to speed, visit to USA in two days I used a mobile auto guy to change the steering pump on my TT. On the TT the pump is buried under the alternator but on Air Con (or at least the GT I sold) the pump is at the top. When the guy had change everything and tried...

Clock received - muchas gracias.

The pic has gone but I rang teh previous owner of my recently acquired TT, having noticed some slight marks on the roof - and he still had the rack in his garage. Bought just in time for house move. Made by Thor, a heavy bit of kit, the rear bar does not clamp - it is held in place by a link bar (th...

You can buy these new for about £15 - I got one from an ebay shop - and somewhere on the forum is the info to fit - not a particularly difficult job.

Oh - i need a clock [that works and does not loose time] for my TT

I suppose the tow bar is big and heavy - I am as far south as Scotland is north so spensive to post. However, I once sold a Maestro tow bar and it went to Scotland for £13 - it was fun handing it though the hatch at the local small post office.

Now fitted new brake pads - weird - the shop tried to sell me some pads that clearly would not fit. He identified the pads that would fit and they appear to be for a 1.7 rather than a 2L. Anyone else heard of this - my pads are the ones with the two bits of spring wire sticking out at the back of th...

so I started drilling and found it easy if slow going. It is essential to centre punch in the centre of teh bolt to prevent drill wander. Pilot drilled with a 1/8" (3mm for youngsters) for a bit and then opened out using various other drills. I had some american drills that looked like masonry drill...

Yes - quite possibly - my thinking now is to drill out.

Autoglass came back and finished the job with no further problems apart from I did not have a trim to fit so all was ok. The Autoglass guys seem ok to me.

Work in progress to remove the sheared off pin. It must be well rust welded in because I have tried copious amounts of release agent along with gentle heat (ie my faithful ronson gas flame) so I hope another day of persuading will work. Next stage is to remove the carrier - grip the pin in the vice ...

The repair kit from Volvo arrived today price £22 + vat.



Next job is to get the rusted pin out - don't hold your breath cos I'm in the middle of house move and stuff.

Had a similar problem - piston was 'sticky'. I worked the piston backwards and forwards and made sure the caliper moved ok on its pins.
Ah - just noticed the date so its probably to late - heh ho

Gracias - I may also need item 8 which is the large carrier to the right of the pic - number not quite on pic.
BTW its an L reg

Yeh - I forgot I rejigged my web site - working on it...

This is the item:



It's item 9

Had a look at the website but it does not look like they have the bits I need which are often the car manufacturer's items but I will give them a call if the Volvo bits are not ok. Many thanks.
