any of ye got an Octavia as a daily driver? Need any spare parts? I've got a 02 Octavia Estate for breaking for all its lovely TDI bits. All the rest is available. If you need anything just ask, cheapy cheap or almost free as it's going to be weighed in.

spotted this in the current edition of Retro Classics:

Since this weekend is jam packed with VW-related shit to do and I'm stuck at home for the entirety of it doing the sum total of fuck-all, I'm decided to clutter up the already cluttered weekend with another VW related festival. I'm neither going to Volksworld in London, Dubshed in Belfast nor...

Has a date for the Eirespares show 2016 been announced yet? I presume it's the 17th July but just checking if anyone's heard the official word?

A friend asked me to advertise these here: a pair of NOS, genuine VW/Bosch boxed type25 headlamps look them up, Heritage sell Genuine VW ones for €62 each plus postage, he's looking for €75 for the pair, collected from Tipperary (near Ballingarry) PM me for his number, you can deal...

I'm converting my bay from 1.9D to 1.9TDI. To get there I have to rip everything out and start again. So the current setup is going to be for sale. The details: 1.9D engine from a mid '90s Vento. The car was maintained by my dad for a customer for most of its life so had a known history...

My query is specific to my Jetta but is relevant to all drag cars I think so keep your hair on ;) I was talking to Dave at the weekend about this drag racing lark. I have plans for more power this year but I think my current gearbox is a limiting factor in how fast I can get up the strip. It's...

I bought this from Riggsi earlier this year thinking it'd be a great donor for my bay. Turns out it won't be such a good donor, it's far better suited to a conversion into a type25/T3 van due to the location of the tandem pump and the bay window fuel tank. I could cut a space in the...

the next drag racing fixture is on at the old reliable Bishopscourt venue on Sunday the 18th. Anyone going? I'm hoping to get there.

I bought these for the Subaru beetle years ago and never did anything with them. I think they were originally mini fitment but I got a pair of stiffer springs that should suit the extra weight of the beetle. It was all a bit experimental really. I suppose they would ideally find a home in a...

Who's going to Longford on Sunday? If there's a break in the weather it should be a fun day out!!

Twin 40 Weber DCNF carbs with tall twin port manifolds. I know nothing about these carbs, I bought them a while back and they're still in the box I got them in. I'm unlikely to get around to using them. So someone else can have a pop: €250

anyone into minis or have any buddies into minis? I have a friend who's restoring a 50 year old motorbike side car and is looking for a single 10" alloy wheel to suit it. He says it's on a 4x4" bolt PCD. I think that matches minis. he'd like a slot mag but I'd say he'd consider anything at...

anyone got an aftermarket fuel pump that's surplus to requirements? Doesn't have to be particularly high-pressure or anything, just a basic lift-pump. I had one of those Facet solid-state fuel pumps on my Westy back when it was petrol engined and bar some teething issues, once it was sorted it...

In case anyone's interested. :) http://www.autostadt.ie/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=16477

I know it's early but we might as well start thinking about it. A good few of us should be heading up the M1 towards Bishopscourt for DD3 in a couple of weeks time. For DD1 I met up with a few at IKEA on the M50, for DD2 I met up with some at M7 Midway Portlaoise and then another meetup at the...

I have a genuine VW early Bay rubber cab mat in my late Bay. It's doing the job but is a bit "wrong" around the door steps. Does anyone have a comparable late Bay mat they'd like to swap with me?

If anyone here is thinking of doing the TDI and 5-speed conversion in their bay/T3 then this is the ideal donor car. It's a '97 Audi A4, AHU code 90BHP TDI engine, 5-speed manual gearbox. Body is rough, interior is worse but I'm reliably informed it was driving fine until parked up. I can't...

the old tank out of my '74 bus. Single "screw-on" outlet in the bottom. Was pinholed but has been repaired. Was fine when I took it out of my van to fit a twin-outlet tank for the diesel conversion. free to a deserving bus owner :)
