On closer inspection after a clean up it appears it's not worn through the metal. So just need to change that rubber mount. Does the whole strut need to come out to do so or can I get away with not undoing the lower clamp bolt.?

This is it jacked up. Clearly movement there

Quite a bit I'd say lol That's Going To Be The Rubber mount Isn't it?

Was the thermostat changed at the same time when the pump was done? I had an Alhambra that did the same, usually up hill it over heated. I never resolved it. The guy I sold it too told me afterwards that it was a head gasket. Only have his word though

Here is a view of the top of the strut looking from the wheel arch. Is the strut wearing into the body? MOT due in Sept. Possible failure?

Check the Selectors are still attached quite hard to see though.

Today and yesterday the Air con has been fine all day. Whereas since regas over a week ago it's been blowing cold for short periods. The regas man suggested it could be a sticky valve as it's not been used in so long. Might not need to change it.... see how it goes. Thanks for the advise though

Any hints or tips for carrying out this task? Should the belt be replaced at the same time? I assume I will need to have all the gas in the system removed?

Look under the bonnet at the compressor when it's switched on the clutch will engage and you'll see it spinning. When it's off the belt still runs but the compressor doesn't.

No more nails?

Sorry misread what you'd written 1 for each front and back

Mine only has the wire on the near side, shouldn't have one each side should it?

VW part number is 7M 0919040C http://www.partsbase.../vw-7m0919040c/ This I'd from an old thread hope it helps

I have one key which is literally a key lol no remote fob or anything.

http://eucatparts.com/?action=cat_ford_unit&s_id_grp=4424&s_id_model=99have a look here. This is for the MK2

N/s wing mirror required. Fully electric not the manual type please.

Haynes manual still available? What's your location please?

I'm interested in the Key I'm assuming I can program it to mine? Also the wipers. What's the location please?

No luck so far. It still blowing cold for a few seconds then fizzles off quickly. Anyone got a guide to changing the compressor, u assume all the gas will have to be removed first?

Do you still have this? Would it fit a 130bhp engine?

Hopefully it will work!

Had it regassed today by an expert mobile guy, it worked the whole time he was there. Once I set off for school run it started to work then fizzled out. Called the guy up he said turn the engine off for about 30 seconds then start up again and it began working again. He's saying try this for a week or so before considering the compressor might be faulty. Anyone heard of these symptoms or diagnosis?

If you're breaking I might be interested in the wheels. Depending which ones they are, and your location.

Thanks for that. I took it to a place who are part of kwikfit. They told me that there were no leaks and no gas present. I'll have to find a specialist. Thanks for the advise

Would plugging in my Galaxy find all the issues or not? Last year I had it pressure tested and regassed however to no avail. There was no cool air. Wondering if I should attempt repair my self or get an expert onto it
