Re: Spam (?) From Rapid Parts?/Now inc Scirocco contents

["Andy Holmes" <scalainj@hotmail.com>]

I think that me persoanlly as a Brit may have a different perception of 
whats a crime and what is not.
I for one dont mind spam/commercial plugs. Sometimes i even acquire/learn 
something useful (although Waterfest 3000+ miles away across the pond is 
somewhat pointless to me) from these mails.

But anyway - Scirocco content

I finally sorted my brakes or more to the point stopped the fluid leak with 
a new wheel cylinder. And i finally replaced that sheared brake disc screw.

So to test thats all well i hammered i down the country lanes round my way 
and did about 6-8 emergency stops from 70-80 mph.  She stopped just fine 
with a touch of lock from my rear rightside just as i stopped.

The best bit was the clouds of smoke from the residual leaked brake fluid 
which disapated after about the 5th attempt.

I also replaced the left front wheel bearings which has helped the 
feel/handling.

Still getting a hollow clunk from that side though - Damned if i know the 
cause.
So far i've changed

Wishbone - damaged in accident
Wishbone bushes
Tie rod end and balljoint
Steering rack gaitor
Wheel bearings
Top mounts
A goodly proportion of the bolts
I have a new shock (Koni - warranty) on the way as mine is weeping a little
Full alignment (4 wheel)
Brake pads
Brake pad retianing metal clips

It happens only on poor surfaces (most of our roads over here)

Any ideas?

My ideas are
Wishbone bolts loose/bent
Engine mounts
Top mount nut loose

I'm going to give em a wiggle about when i get home to see
