Fixed !!! I thought i had better pull my finger out, I have finished the Porsche and started on the Tiguan since it had had its issues. I found this great website; https://www.autodynamix.co.uk/auto-dynamix-tuning/cosworth-yb-diy-guides/cosworth-yb-iscv-clean-set-up/ Devon based Cosworth...

Fair point. will price up a strut aswell thanks

Morning, I have bought a Cat D VW tiguan from Copart. Underneath / front damage, looks as if it hit a high curb at speed..... Airbags did not go off Bonnet shocks did fire, it has an active bonnet which lifts out of the way in a front end collision adding hinges and actuators to the repair...

mine is up in the air so i will have a look later.
