Are speedo cables easy to replace?

Mine broke this morning

They're the ones i was thinking about adam (your 2nd maplin link) i used to call them 'scotch blocks' for some reason, not entirely sure thats their correct name though lol

Halfords sell them by the packet, i know what you mean, just cant think what they're called lol

dunno if they'll take them back afterwards, might just have to bite the bullet and get them, see what happens, if they dont fit perfectly, hopefully all they'll need is a bit of tweaking lol


Cheers.

Apologies in advance for the ebay links.... My rear arches on my mk2 squareback are slowly succumbing to the deadly rust worm. Now with the MOT looming i was looking into getting some repair panels welded in place and found these beautys on ebay. Before i buy them i was wanting to double check they'...

I have 165/65/13's on my mk1 golf gti alloys pitted to the polo with 40mm lowering and ive had no adverse effects, rubbing etc.

I have to be aware tho that my speedo isnt exactly right lol

Some people do a max drop of about 70mm, but 40mm is easily achievable with minimal if no rubbing on your wheels, depending on what wheels you have.choose of course

Good luck with your project

There's a couple of nice ones on here, not sure about the spec you're after tho.

Anyone done a bit of a how-to on fitting a weber to a mk2?

Or modify the centre speaker on the dash to accept a cup. For those blessed with a centre speaker of course

OK, cheers. I'll have a closer look at the weber when i get a chance and see what jets it has, also i'll consult my haynes carb manual to see cross reference the jets but if you could dig out the sizes aswell just in case that would be great. (1043cc HZ/33kw engine) In the meantime i'll see what the...

What about fitting a manual choke kit?

Cheers,

Well as a temporary fix ive got it booked in at my local friendly vw specialist.

Ive got a W32TL sat in the garage, i just really need to pluck up the courage to get it installed. When i do any idea where i can route the choke cable?

Ta

Well, kinda.

My automatic choke is jammed open (on a pierburg 1B3) making general running beyond terrible lol.

Whats the best thing i can do with it, get it fixed? fit a manual choke kit? or take the plunge and get a weber?

Cheers.

The quote i just got for my mk2 was through AA, they quoted me £246 TPF&T (im 28) To go just TP the premium went up to just over £300

Insurance on my smart roadster is only £333 through CIS though, and thats a group 11! lol
