Enough oil filters to last a life time and just about everything I need to fix up most of the loose ends with the MK2.

:D

Why all the filters?

I think we should have a wip around and buy you a VW beadspread for christmas :D

You get a (very small...) discount per filter for bulk buys, and I change them religously every 5,000.

Can't recall when I got that cover, had it for ageeeeeeees haha
:)

PS, Auscare, your DP is heresy.

Wow, I'm jealous mate :)

Did you get the new ignition lock housing because of the failed bearing in your old one? Could you please do a write up when you fix this? I'll be very interested to see how you go.

Good on you mate, keep up the good work!

I not certain if the bearing has actually failed in the old housing.

I attempted to replace the ignition housing, switch and lock the other day, but was unable to because I have the big to small spline adaptor on my steering column (there a press fitted on, you need alot of force to take them off!)

I just followed this thread 4130 Products - Step-By-Step
but happy to help out if needed.

:)

Very nice mk2

Nothing monumental, but worth a mention.

After getting sick of poor radio reception on the old Kenwood headunit, thought it was time for a new headunit, that suited the car better.

Enter this great little unit from Jaycar, nice simple look and easy to use :)
Reception problem ended up being multiple faults with the coaxial cord and connections, all fixed now.

looks mad! really does suite the car man!

I just replaced my ignition lock housing. To get the spline adapter off, I put some vice grips behind the shoulder of the adapter. Then attach some gear pullers onto them and the steering column. It came off quite easily.
Ryan that link u put up is great!!
My bearing was a little sloppy, but the ignition switch was f*#%*$!!! it starts easily now:D
Took less than an hour
