:lol: dont think it was rikki james, unless he was on the lash in cheltenham that night!! 8) thanks! I must say i did think i locked it, but id rather have left it unlocked rather than have someone be able to break in that easily!! i was lucky- the only real downside is having my friends tease me ab...

Cheers mi dear!! It was parked outside the brewery complex, so luckily, apparently theres cctv all over the place, the police said they were watching the guy try to get into the car. They arrested him, the police woman said he was very drunk and probably just trying to find somewhere to sleep. I mus...

Hello!

Today I rang an engine servicers and asked if they would look at my engine (i want it balanced and timed). they do work on vws.
The guy said that its not worth tuning original solex carbs because they are always worn out.

is this necessarily true?
He wasnt trying to sell me better ones!

well, i had a look and the engine to heat exchanger pipes are there, but praps not the best looking.. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e156/greenfyregirl/16112007081.jpg and i think the underneath ones are there too, but what are the broken off pipes? http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e156/greenfyr...

mmm..

thanks very much! il have a look tomorrow!
is the second picture at the front of the car, cuz we changed wheel bearings recently, praps we dislodged something.

Thanks Mike!

Il look at some manuals cuz im not sure i even know what a heat exchanger looks like!
i can check the cables tho!

oh! ive got a 71 squareback btw!!!

ive always had heating in my car, but now, after having the electrics looked at its stopped working.
is there anything I can check or look at to try to get it going again?

I can also confirm this, as altho my car failed its test today, the rusty hole/bumper mount was not a failing point!!

Hello!!

I think it was you that rescued me on the way to Vanfest?? It was that square anyway!!!

thanks, if it was!!

I just put a single quiet pack on my square, but I think all the pipes (or whatever they are called) have been changed from stock.

also, i had to squash the valence a bit (poor square)

ive got fans that blow cold air onto my windscreen, but warm air wud be better!!!

My friends have just bought that green sqaure, they've bought 2 squares in as many weeks :shock: 8) Oh yeah and gr8 pics Danny, but please stop taking pictures of me, keep finding them on forums :shock: :lol: are you in gloucestershire then? i cant remember exactly where the blokes said they were f...

nice pics Danny!!
I saw this one being sold, a guy from glos bought it, a nice car. Distressed is the word to describe it, i think!

ps glad you liked my curtains, i might of been asleep in there!!!

So is a vacuum advance better than a mechanical advance?
cuz ive got a 71 car and mines got a 009 in it. Do you have to change much to put a different distributor in?

Atom man's (Gary's) old white square was a 64 model, very lovely!!

He sold it a couple of years ago, i think.

actually, not sure if it was rhd tho, praps not!!!

I have got a fan in mine, it blows cold air onto the winscreen, is that what you mean?
It would make sense i suppose!!
just trying to work out the jumble of wires!

Also, can anyone tell me where the wire that goes into/out of the big black plastic cover under the dash goes to?
(just behind the radio in delboy's pic)

it already has caused a fire(!) well that and the fact that my hazzard lights were wired up very wierdly. lots of smoke and melting

getting it sorted now tho!

thanks
