  8. i got an old window and full frame thanks guys though it might had to be cut out and welded but at risk of melt the vinyl?? ginger boy the bar im on about is the attached to the frame that holds the rear window in place and which the thick black rubber sits on...
  9. yeh seeping in from the top of the doors both sides on old roof this wasnt a problem, and from the rear window where the bottom of the bar of the window has bowed any and all suggestions
  10. bought a new roof weeks ago(mk4) installed it so far so good then snap tension cable, so after a few days of waiting for fords i threaded through new tension cable tightened it up both side pretty much all the way and looked around the back and i can still see the cable i know this isn't right. also noticed the lower bar of the rear window has rusted so bad its lost its strength and bowed leaving a gap between rubber n window so got it leaking. and its leaking from the corner of the doors did fix this problem on old roof so not too happy need advice on what do i do next??
  11. Efi flywheel all i used from the mfi engine was the gear box
  12. hello guys i have a mk4 efi cab with no spark i have three coil packs 2 crank sensors 2 edis units new spark plugs and new leads and oh yeah 2 ecu's so pretty much checked everything i know of to cause no spark any of you guys want to take a guess ?? maybe something i've missed? something i havent tried? please let me know as im really annoyed with this
  13. thanks guys just wanted the rear one nice price for the set Av but it would be a waste as im only after rear cable ummm keep looking me thinks
  14. hello guys im in need of a cable tensionerrr for my roof mk4 cab any ideas where i can get them or do you have one spare new or in very good condition Pm or reply to this post thanks!!!!
