You may have all the pics, but have you still got all the scars ?? :).

Hey mumof4. its all your fault :o. Its like a really good book. once you start, you cant stop... reading that is :16: . I think i read this thread when it first started, hoping that I would never need to be doing the job myself ( wishful thinking). It was kinda funny back then :o. Not so funny when you have to get everything stripped and greased in the cold though :o . Thanks for your input on the subject, cant believe you have another galaxy !! .. :16: :o.

OOOh what a lovely day for getting your linkages in hand and giving them a giant smash with a copper hammer :16: :16: . Job done. 2 hours and 35 minutes :o :o . Thanks for the instructions guys, great work and pretty easy to follow.

Oh by the way. just to confirm. The brake disc size for my 16" alloys with 215/55/16 tyres on is 288mm. Thanks everyone.

Great help again Sparky. Cheers mate.

Cheers Sparky. I'll have to phone the trader because I can't see the box set that was described on his fleabay site at the moment.

Cheers familyman. I read a thread earlier and I'm interested in the Mintex discs and pads off fleabay. A lot of people say they are good quality.

Nice one sparky. They are the 215/55 tyres on alloys. !999 Zetec also.

Cheers familyman. Just a bit worried about size of wheels. I have been told by one supplier that there are 3 different size discs for my vehicle. Sounds strange.

The TIS says the diameter of the disc for a 1999 model is 288 mm. But it also says that the 1999 1.9 tdi is fitted with 15 wheels. Microcat list the disc as part no 95VWX 1125 B1D for my vehicle, but doesn't say what size they are.

Hi everyone, Could anyone tell me what size brake discs I should get for my 1999 1.9 tdi. I have got 215/55/16 tyres on. Does this mean I need 16 inch Discs? Thanks

Nice one Seat. A bit of false economy me thinks. Main dealer here I come.

This is getting weird. I have been running around with the temp sensor disconnected for a week and the starting whilst warm was great. So I got my new Temp Sensor from GFS and fitted it 2 days ago. Driving around the last couple of days and the warm starting problem is back. So Tonight I disconnected the new temp sensor and hey presto starting whilst warm is great again. Firstly, Does this mean my new temp sensor is faulty, and secondly are main dealer parts better and more reliable.

I think it is Finnis part number 7017151. Hope that helps.

Hi Tom. I had this problem a while back. I found it was the central locking motor. I actually transfered the faulty motor from the nearside door to the offside door to check it, and found the fault had transered to the other door. I replaced with a new motor and it worked fine. Phil.
