Struggled with trying to sort out fitting the gear shift and finding all gears at first. Then I found the problem. The gearshift rod I bought from JK was nowhere near the same as the original.

Top one is the manky welded up original.
The white one was part of a job lot I bought but the slot for the gear lever pin is a bit worn.
Bottom one is from JK - I added the left hand bend in it as it was straight.

JK one is 3/4inch too long. Redrilled the 8mm hole for the locking screw.

And chopped it down a bit

Back in, adjust the plate and got all gears including reverse - result! And the reversing lights work

 

It's possibly supplied extra long for people to put more of a bend in it to clear their beam adjusters? I'm being kind to JK.

 

I found out after trying everything there are 2 lengths of that tube used on vans
I had a long one and just drilled a hole further back so the ball was in the middle of the hole in the floor when in neutral.

 

On the M4. At 65mph the oil is up to 108 degrees climbing from the A34 to Membury.

 

Have you fixed the Pug ??

My Peugeot is MOTd again but I dont like it as much as the bus.
Meanwhile in the bus at Solstice Park Services (Compton Down, A303)





Two to the power 17 miles...

Or 82917 miles since purchase on 20 July 2010.


Parked outside Alma Church, Bristol.

 

Probably is Steve's fault

Here's the Hoover bit (bit 18). Stops oil cooler air spilling out of the bottom of the doghouse. They usually rot away or go missing. Repros are available.



Velocity rings steady the air going into the fan shroud. I'd think they were mumbo-jumbo, but VW themselves incoporated them into later fan shrouds (on injected Beetles, I believe). @paradox has got a real one. They definitely have an effect. Getting pricey now - used to be about £35, but CSP will charge you 75 euros for one.



I'd recommend fitting both on a type 1

 

Thanks @snotty - I'll have a look around.
Much appreciated

Worth doing IMHO if you ever have the engine out again.

 

It needs to come out at some point to replace the crank oil seal so i`ll add them to the list

 

Here’s mine

 

Your ring’s looking a bit red, para

 

I would be surprised if you don't have a hoover bit @Lasty

 

Muff coupler!

 

I'll have you know I'm nothing of the sort! Pistols!

 

I demand satisfaction, Sir! Choose your weapon!

 

A good wack of that enamel on that Para .
