I fitted a JK one to my 1.9 four years ago
It fitted fine and Ive never had any problems with it

Great thanks for the replies really helpful

Hi All I'm doing some rust repairs to my van over the winter and my question is when ive welded in a patch and then want to use a skim of filler to blend it in, is it best to prime first and then filler, or filler first then prime? In other words filler onto bare metal or not...?

Yes its nearside and not leaking. Thanks!

Hi all thanks to the reply in my previous post about gear oil in the cv joint ive now replaced them and decided to do the rear wheel bearings too while the shafts were off, so far so good. My question is regarding play in one of the gearbox output flanges, I'm guessing about 1mm in the vertical plan...

This is a job I also plan to do. Where is the best source of OEM flexy hoses - I'm not keen on braided ones?
Thanks

Forgot to say, no ramp but plenty room to get under I thought.

Removed and refitted slave cylinder with new bolts and brass nuts last summer, and freed off bleed nipple. Nothing wrong with it but just wanted to make sure I could change it if needs be. Heeded usual good advice on this forum, wire brushed fasteners and soaked with Plusgas for several days beforeh...

I have the Pela and now 4 years old never had any probs with tubing or anything else.
Never used it for my VW 1.9DG for me, for that, its much easier and quicker just to get underneath.
