If ordering new wheel centre caps for either a 4200 or GS (not sure about the 3200), don't order the 4200 / GS caps, order the GT equivalent. Size and fitment is the same, but the finish is much better.

Good tip Miles, very handy, thanks.

Thanks Miles, I will remember that if I get a 4200 in the next few weeks, still looking.

Cheers

I'm not sure if this was listed before - Master cylinder seal repair kit:

http://www.seinsa.es/ref/24479/1

Same as in VW cars, its a perfect fit on the 4200 brake pump (it's exact the same as Golf IV), I have tested this by repairing my pump this weekend.

In Poland this seal set cost about 4 Euros :)

Just been looking through this thread and can't find anything on an alternative battery for the 4200. As Eurospares want £240+Vat for the OEM I'm looking elsewhere.

What are the battery requirements? The Alfa 156 and 159 v6's and jtdm's both use and fairly heavy duty battery and cost around 80quid
