theres a guy on CL called Lupoboz, he works for VW parts and can get them discounted ;)

the part number for the remote central locking one i got was 6K0827565L and it does the trick! but the main thing to watch is that they have superseeded the part number half a dozen times ....

thanks JC! i know i was thinking about it earlier the only original parts are the shell, the body work pannels and the subframe haha! heres the new interior the new seat next to the old one lol! damn dampness! turns out the original passenger seat did not have height adjustment in it but...

if its an 03 plate, the sure fire give away for it being the 1.0S would be 14" alloys, remote central locking, cd player and leccy windows. first thing to check is the arches for rust, especially the back ones. i know the cars are galvanised but still have a wee look and check. id also be...

its the traditional arosa/lupo traight of the washer motor imploding on itself, when you use the washer it just pours out of the two small vent holes on the black clip that holds the washer pipe on. i do believe that there is a repair kit for this though, somebody mentioned it a good few years...

hi mate, sorry for the late reply, the leon one has a curve to it to match the boot body work . i had to look into it when i was on the look out for one for miss OLW's car. total fudging nightmare to be honest with you as there are 3 different handles, one for key locking, one for central...

i was down 130mm on my old 1litre, granted the suspension might as well of been welded solid but still :D

oh dear.. it has been a while since i last updated this... After the engine was fitted and the new clutch were fitted the car was taken back to Elders to have the remainder of the work complete. Before the MOT we found that the boot handle had died and we had to replace that, the central...

boo!!! hibernation is the first stage to either A - a large repair bill ( i should know ) or B - it never making it back on the road :(

just a wee pic from today, sitting up on the ramp, waiting on its new clutch to be fitted tomorow :D mind you it does look a bit sad for itself with no front end on other than the slam roughly in place lol!

ok not much to report from today other than we went to test drive it and the clutch isnt wanting to clear reverse, so ive went and got a new clutch for it as well so a new Valeo clutch kit so hopefully that will resolve the problem as it was clearing reverse before the engine swap so its going...

update - Wednesday - ok, so the engine swap has been done and we found that the battery was shot to hell, 3 days on trickle charge and still couldnt start the car so a new battery was fitted and some new HT leads. the garage got bored and pulled the old engine appart, and they found a list of...

all i have to say about cheap coilovers - cornering like an office chair on an icerink and bouce like your driving a pogo stick. just save the cash and buy a decent set. i ran my old one about -130mm on FK silverlines i think it was with no rear adjuster cups and it was a hard ride, wish i...

wee update so the new engine went to go in and the bottom end shells were shot, so we had to send that engine back and we picked up a new engine. The new brakes are on the car, had to up the size of the alloys as well to let them fit in! and the front end has now been stripped for the engine...

i know, i had my plat grey arosa when i was last really on here that was on the floor, then i sold that and got a plat grey mk4 ibiza Cupra 20vT 180bhp, sold that and got a mk4 golf GTI TDi as well as a mk1 arosa that i had as a project car, sold both of them and got an Audi A4 1.9TDi Quattro...

gutted boo!! was it not a green leather with buttons sown into it to pull it down? not seen your wee car in donkeys!!! however i will warn you, miss OLW is rather partial to a patterned skull or two effect as well lol!

cheers boo!! you will love the new fabric we have got for the headliner :D but you will have to wait and see what thats like untill its fitted!!

Sadly when we went to get the front brakes done, some moron had crossed the splines on the driveshaft into the hub so we had to load up the car onto Mr AA mans trailer and off to the garage to get the new hubs fitted along with the new engine. To make sure the wheels clear the new brakes...

rather than trying to rescue a 131k mile engine, i decided that a heart transplant would be easiest, so i managed to get a new engine out of a 2002 seat arosa with 57k on the clock :D it was as a bare engine so i got the old throttle body and cleaned it up and then built up the new engine as...

Lupo sport shocks and springs me actually doing work for once then the front brakes ( 239mm x 10mm ) had jammed as well due to sitting for so long so i got a set of VW Polo GTi front hubs, arosa sport calipers and carriers, discs and pads beefing it up to 256mmx20mm front discs.
