Tailgate window
Not so straight forward to take out and rebond, im in the glass business so i know. Also trims can be a nightmare to remove in a reusable condition. Do like Funky says and ring round a couple of local glass companys to get prices

Need a new windscreen
It will make a difference in looks if they fit a blue windscreen, your side glasses are bronze and although the tint is not major, you might see the difference between the blue and bronze.

Need a new windscreen
Make sure they get the bronze tint ( with possibly a blue top tint ), that is the correct glass tint for a series 1 jap import.

Impossible for it to delaminate because its toughened glass. What exactly is the problem with the glass ?

bad vibrations from rear passenger side wheel
Try jacking up that wheel and seeing if there is any play in the wheel, could be a few possibilites ie wheel bearing, something to do with hicas ( if its a tt ).

Audio installation
Vini, ive had pioneer speakers in the past and i think the quality is pretty good, i usually buy pioneer or kenwood headunits / speakers, as for me they give a good balance of quality and price. Hope this helps John

insurance cover query
Ive got a traders policy, its not my main business but i just explained that i did work on a lot of different peoples cars and needed the cover to drive them etc. My policy costs me £628 per year, fully comp, with £5000 cover which is plenty as i never seem to own a car worth more than that ! Rather than go to one particular insurance company, it would be better to approach a local insurance agent/broker who deal with commercial policies

Autobox problems
Hi, just bought a n/a auto but it has problems with the gearbox not shifting from 2nd upwards. I have done the autobox diagnostics check and its bringing up 2 error codes 7) Lock-up solenoid circuit is shorted or disconnected 10) Line pressure solenoid circuit is shorted or disconnected. I have done some searches and it seems these solenoids are in the bottom of the gearbox, any idea where i get the replacements from ?

de-cats
I think the tubes you are taking about are the AIV's, and can either be capped off, left open ended, or totally removed. John

bad petrol smell
just been chasing a few leaks on mine, and it seems that the original fasteners lose their grip over the years. I just replaced them with standard jubilee clips and now all is fine :)
