Help - Don't know what it's called...

I've lost the little plastic bit that one of the screws holding the rear air vents screws into, it probably fallen down behind the panel as I took the air vent off to fit a seat belt mounting plate. It's on the nearside, and is the forward-most screw that now has nothing to screw into! I've no idea ...

If it has one there will be a lever just under the front of the seat which should push down/pull up.

Re: Battery woes - avoid this ebay seller

Yes,,,I think I originally posted the link to this, which in my defence was in no means recommending his services, however, with so many sales and only a few negatives, this hardly makes him a bad seller. Given the importance of the 'Height' of the battery and also given that 190mm is standard heig...

Re: Battery woes - avoid this ebay seller

Update - Still waiting to hear back from the eBay seller about returning the unwanted battery :roll: Maybe avoid was a little harsh? at the very least - proceed with extreme caution :!: :lol: I bought the battery I originally ordered yesterday - collected it from eurocarparts that I didn't realise h...

Re: Battery woes - avoid this ebay seller

I should have checked his actual feedback - saw 99.7% positive feedback from 14500+ transactions and just assumed that meant he was legit. Not the case, he has 23 negatives and 25 neutrals in the past 12 months - Lesson learned for me! :oops:

Is this ready-mix coolant still OK?

I've had this stuff sitting in my garage that I bought for another car about 7 years ago.... On the back of the bottle there is a list of codes, one of which is VW (TL...
