boo but on the upside nothing to major,
the boot lid wouldnt open even though he was told the switch was on the centre console, front wishbone mount had to much play, needs door pops on the outside, can not rely on the alarm fob to pop door, front indicator bulb decided to blow on the way there, apparently the rear subframe didnt look tight, not that he ever seen one before or even checked it properly, oh wellI would take it somewhere else, like the local VW dealers.

well this little bit of kit is awesome, it converts your kph to mph, also has adjustment in it for different wheel or tyre size and gearbox changes, it also records your top speed, very easy to wire in [
]had a few issues with the rack, it started leaking due to over tightening a banjo against a part of the rack and splitting it open, but at the same time done me a favour it had to come out because the tie rod was hitting the inner wheel and was causing the wheel to over steer on parking specially 3 point turns, so hopefully this is the answer to cure that little problem , mk2 lhd rack with vw transporter t5 tie rod and ends
