Hi, i can sort you out with the following parts: flywheel flywheel bolts starter prop pedal box including pedals master cylinder slave cylinder pipe PM me if you are interested!

its just round the corner from me - i may go and take a look.... I could push it home - save on the trailer!!! :)

read this thread with interest! I live in Riyadh currently and we are now on heightened alert due to expected retaliation etc. If he is not dead then it would be utterly humiliating for US if he shows up again! (fake moon landing and other consipiracy theories not withstanding!) The US will /have gone to great pains to be seen to understand and respect the Islamic beleifs and customs relating to death - exhibiting his body or not commiting it to a grave within the approapriate time after death would cause great offence to the muslim population - which would leave them open to additional criticism at such a very sensitive time. As with all conflict, who is the hero and who is the terrorist depends on which side you are on - it sounds obvious but its true. There are as many people in the world who beleive that 9/11 was a resounding success and a justified act of retaliation for the actions of the west, as those who beleive it was an unprovoked act of terrorism. All I know is that there is a lot more to the back story of this than just the killing of one man. IE the amount of innocent pakistan nationals killed by Predator stikes as the US were looking for OBL and shooting anything that was remotely like a viable target etc etc... anyway, at least its knocked the bleeding royal wedding off the front pages!

I can assure you neither 1 or 4 apply to my policy. driving other vehicles is a standard clause that I have had for many years - may be that its a legacy thing and the rules are tightening on new policies. I cant agree that a car, as an inanimate object, can ever be liable, in any circumstance. As you suggest, the liability might (depending on the exact details ie poor maintenance) fall back to the owner and his / her insurance may or may not cover them. Equally it could reside with the last person driving if they parked it on a dangerous bend. Or the manufacturer of the vehcile if a design or manufacturing fault or the installer of the hand brake cable etc. Never the "car"! I dont doubt that your experience is as you state it- just that it MAY not apply equally to everyone, in every circumstance, and I stand by the suggestion that people should read there own policies carefully. I think the fact your MD is a multi millionaire proves the point about insurance being a rip off! shall we have a whip round and see how much we can raise?! LoL!

read this thread with interest! Insurance is such an emotive subject! HollowPoint, 2 and 3 on your list seem to based around law, but i was interested to see 1 and 4 - surely its down to the Ts and Cs for each policy as what stipulations are? I have had driving other cars on various policies for years and it never ever stated it has to be insured elsewhere (why? a car cannot ever be liable for something, only a person can and that would be the person driving at the time the liability occured...), and my policy(s) defiantly never stated it has to be a lower group than the insureds car. I think that the advice further up is probably spot on (not least becuase everyones policies are likey to be different - there may be additional conditions that apply to some that are not mentined yet in the thread!) and that its all about reading your policy very carefully and if in doubt check.. lets be honest - the bast#ads dont need much of an excuse to avoid honouring their contract and paying out! I have often wondered if enough people got together privately and paid money into an account to create a fund, they could become self insured - major corperations do it as its cheaper to cover the liability themselves than pay a 3rd company (who has to make proffit and pay salaries and rent etc etc) up the revolution! :)

Awesome - thats just down the road! Im in!

Hi Jeff I understand you may be able to offer 1 peice prop shafts. I am looking for a lightened shaft for my SWB TT with manual conversion, with the NA subframe and diff. Not sure whether to go ally or steel (or even carbon?!) what do you recommend please! Mark

thanks guys - ill get in touch with Jeff thanks!

I need some advice on prop shafts please. I am looking to uprate to a single peice shaft, at the same time as changing the rear subframe to an NA version (complete including NA diff) on my SWB TT Manual (converted from auto) So, a two part question really: a)which material should i choose - Steel, ally, or carbon? I will be uprating the engine power in due course so it needs to take a fair amount of torque. b) Where can i get one?! Thanks guys

thanks guys, good info. does any one know where i can get a one peice prop shaft - preferably ally thanks! M

Hi Guys, been a while since i posted - the zeds been staring at me from the drive for ages, but not been able to get on with any jobs due to various life stuff....happily, i am now able to get started! anyway - i have a question about NA rear subframes - im sure i read somewhere that it was a good mod to fit the NA rear frame / half shafts / hubs etc in place of the TT assy - removes the hicas, comes with the 4.08 ratio diff etc etc Is this a good idea - has anyone done it? Is there anything else thats useful from an NA model when tuning a tt swb manual? cheers guys! m
