Might get the TB done with VW as its the same price as him and get the Cam follower done with George. CAM follower is a totally separate job I take it and doesn't need to be done at the same time as TB?

Yes completely separate. It's also a DIY. How are your mechanical skills?
I'd do it myself only doing these things in Winter without a closed garage is hell with the cold fingers and random rainfall!
Send me a pm there and I'll send you on my number if you need anything!
KieranR:
PM sent although I just realised I don't think I can receive them yet because of my low post count! I think I can receive emails though. Nothing urgent yet anyway so no rush!

Can also recommend George. He's done plenty of work on my Lupo GTi and has also worked on my MK5 GTi previously. Knows his stuff and is very reasonable price wise.
(Also based in Dublin :smiley:)

New Update - Rear Tailgate Handle
After I replaced my corroded slow close boot badge with the mk4 3d cover I just didn't like it so I bought a mk6 mechanism and replaced the whole lot.
Have to say this one looks much better. The wiring on the inside is tight as the plug is on the wrong side but making a few careful cuts and you can loosed it up just enough!

Great read Luke! Your not far from me so I might accidently pass you by or meet you in Halfords one day lol! Definitely learned a few handy tips and nice mods ill be doing!
