All Things Mk5 > Mk5 General Area
What did you and your MKV do today?
Birchy:
@GreigC i got 2 front seats I’m ok-ish condition and the seat of seat covers for £250. Considering they would have been about 1000000x more than that from VW I don’t think I did too bad!
Octoparrot:
Car failed an mot for the first time. Was pretty gutted tbh but after 165k and 17 years I suppose it had to happen sometime. Failed on esc not working and torn boots on both front arb links. The esc problem was because I hadn't plugged the switch back in after I fitted a USB port and I replaced both arb links this evening as I had a new pair in the loft that I bought ages ago for reasons I can't remember.

ARB links can be a pig so praying for you that they come off ok!
Octoparrot:
Thanks, yes I was a bit apprehensive but they came off without too much of a fight, the worse bit is that there isn't enough room for the head of the spanner on the strut flange to get at the nut.
