    I just dug out the first receipt when I got the cert for my camper and it was 10 deutschmarks to get a birth certificate
    granted it was some years ago, but you would think with modern software this must be very easy for them to get the details and print a certificate

    I have done this for my campers and beetle, you do get good information but they have hiked the price up now more people are using this service

    Sorry for the delay, looks like standard Halfords roof bars and the framework is bolted to them

    Was at my local GSF yesterday and the guy behind the counter remembered that they used to stock shocks by KYB for the golf country
    I checked their catalogue and they have them listed

    It will give them a call tomorrow to check on prices and availability

    They said they were out of stock but did not remove the ad
    check out their feedback

    I would advise anyone to stay well clear of this seller

    The previous owner fabricated it, I think it was originally a Halfords item. I can take some pics of it tomorrow if you like?

    wish it was mint I would say more of a 20 footer
    But I own it now so it will be better I hope. Never thought I would ever have the privilege of owning a country.
    brought up on beetles and campers and as the saying goes “KEEP THE LEGEND ALIVE” I have always worked on the principle of fit stock or better. I prefer to fit better but that’s down to the individual

    That’s the route I was going to take
    Thanks for the advice on 191505119 from classic parts I will buy a couple tomorrow. [:D]

    Here is what someone did to my country

    that’s something I have learnt very fast. In the short time I have owned my country.
    Thankfully though engineering has moved on, I have spoken to a couple of companies that manufacture springs, if I send my old springs they can reproduce and guarantee their work for a fraction of the price of NOS and dealer parts.
    I think I will go this route, remanufactured springs, Bilstien shocks and factory mounting rubbers.
    My next job is full stainless exhaust including manifold. After that it is suspension so I will take lots of pics and post also give my thoughts on the final ride quality

    I have sent the details they requested but still no reply
    I have now sent them an email asking for confirmation.
    will post the response if I get one

    I will be buying the Bilsteins all day long
    but I am interested why someone would try to sell a rare part at such a stupid price.
    Also who would buy a shocker at such a low price?
