Ok thanx didn't think of that but makes perfect sense rear will be perfect then pair of bearings , pair of shoes ,pair of cylinders do u think they will stock it for a car this old last year they was unable to help me on a fuel pipe I will give them a go fingers crossed
-
Unfortantley the o/s/ r wheel bearing failed on my mk 5 Saturday night on the a1m and had to be recovered on a low loader not a good experience thank god I have rac cover a mechanic as just looked at it and said it needs a new stub axle he seems to think I will have trouble getting a brand new one any one else had any problems getting one then just to top it all of he then tells me the bearing on the other side as gone plus brake cylinder so not a good week on the plus side if I get the bits she will be done for the aux bridge show

Thanx will give them a go once I have established which immobisler has been fitted in the past under last ownership as a few company's keep asking me

I think we should try swapping the whole roof and mech from the mk6 to the mk5 then if that works then fit a new roof to that mech it don't take that many bolts to swap over then it answers the question then if it works then we can refit the rear trim
