A customer of mine drove back from France without a steering coupler. The dangling bolts caught the bit on the steering box. He had about 1/2 turn of free play, but soldiered on, not even looking underneath. Possibly a relative of @lost-en-france . That's what happens when you chuck your cracked but serviceable original coupler and replace with a Marmitee one. It tears to pieces, this one then jumped over the chassis and wrapped around the brake pedal lever stopping it fully returning, so he did a few hundred miles with the brakes on a bit too. That's why I recommended keeping yours, but looking out for a good replacement. Some replacement ones are dangerous.
Far from it. It's your opinion as is my reply. Not sure who you offended though. A secondhand box is just as likely to leak or be rubbish anyway.
Due to no time to test landmark I've meshed last inure and got the T4. This has resulted in delayed departure and delayed by 1 week mtg @davidoft . I got to the road the ferry is on 20 mins ago, I'm still sat on it in a big queue . Even worse I'm busting for a wee as haven't stopped since Sheffield! One slight scare at 90 mph I heard a noise and spotted the blue flashing lights on my tail, yikes! However, the police just wanted me out the way. Maybe they were pleased I was going fast enough to keep them from slowing too much
no. I booked red funnel this morning as Wightlink full. I had to go to Southsea to pick car up. Long way round for me
In france , they just get out and squat.....And don't think some idiot cyclist will just randomly emerge from a wood..
This is from a facebook page: "Just ordered one from machine7 listed as genuine VW and its come and its not"
Oem doesn't mean genuine, it essentially means manufactured by the factory that supplied genuine items
Putting in "Genuine and VW" in the description I feel isn't as clear as just putting " Original equipment manufacturer ", they can make to any standard now as they won't ever see a VW QA dept.
Ive got a genuine one sat here awaiting fitting when the vans done, if anyone would like to come and have a sniff you are more than welcome
