That sounds like them. It should be an 027 battery mate :)
 
Swapperd my original front wipers & arms for a set of Golf MkIV aero wipers & arms :D
Must say after trimming the passenger side to fit they sit much nicer and better than the retro fit aeros I had.
 
New Windscreen after she was attacked by a tree when asleep. New Brembo Brake pads for the front, leaky passenger door sealed, handbrake cable greased and a Winter service :) Then a wash on the weekend and that excess windscreen sealent needs to be stripped...
 
Polished manifold fitted along with its wrinkled black/polished TB and wrinkle black cam cover, polished up the nuts bolts etc and wrapped the coilpack harness up.
 
Winter mode - standards back on

Re fitted front pads, as they were squealing when braking in reverse.

Tried to track down the source of water leaking in to the driver footwell via the bonnet release lever. Removed all the rotten foam seal at the bottom of the wiring loom at the bulkhead and replaced with door seal cord (doubled up for good measure).

Looked for the usual pin hole in the bulkhead seam, couldn't see anything.

So fingers crossed that's it fixed.

Just had the car through a major service. Had a few things that came up that will need replacing. New brake discs all round and pads. New undertray, and two front tyres.
