I am now the proud owner of a factory hardtop for my Spit. Maybe some other hardtop-owner can answer a few questions? 1: The parts catalog shows a short metal tube on each of the front attaching bol

Are we mixing up the commision number and the body serial number? My Mk IV has the commission number plate in the door frame, and a smaller body serial number plate riveted to the left-hand baulkhead

I noticed yesterday that the wiper motor on my 72 Spit makes a nasty chattering sound when it is running. So I guess I need to take it apart and lubricate it. My workshop manual describes the motor

Once my speedo was flaky, working one day and not the next. It turned out that the flex cable was not getting turned at all by the gear in the tranny. The fitting at the end of the cable was too smal

I get the impression that the guage is really just a voltmeter that measures the output of the oxygen sensor. I had been wondering about this in the past: If I wanted to check mixture, couldn't I si

Someone once told me about these special bleeder valves that you can get, that have built-in check valves. Thus, you can simply open them a little and pump away, without any fear of air entering the

Perhaps, since we drive English cars, we should take the English attitude here. In England, gas is at least three times the price here. (Maybe 2.5X compared to California, and 3.5X compared to New Je

I think that you are over-analyzing the purchase decision. Murphy's law says that shortly after you buy the "optimum" car and drive it home, something totally unexpected, that you could not have dete

You could examine the needle to see if it is worn. Generally they are not since every model car seems to use a different one. My advice: If you cannot figure out how to get the ZS to run well, you sh
