    DC5 Prices 2021 & onwards

    And another has popped up in my suggested videos, new owner. They look good value compared to the recent ‘offer’ my wife received from VW -worked out at just over £11k to borrow a Polo for 4 years:eek:

    DC5 Prices 2021 & onwards

    I think the whole car market is crazy right now and I was surprised to see some of the prices recently. DC5's also seem to be all over YouTube, however that is likely to be the searching algorithm responding to my history :rolleyes: I'm keeping mine, I like owning and driving it even though...

    2020 products to detail the car with?

    I’m on the Autoglym Polar snow foam at the moment Through a 12 year old Autobrite (local company here) foam lance. Dwells too long for my liking so I’ll head back to BH which was my go to previously. Normally use Dodo Juice Born to Be Mild shampoo for general washing. LSP either a sealant...

    Hybrid Racing Detent Springs

    Cheers guys - I think I'm going to leave the detent springs and keep hold of them in case I end up having the engine mounts replaced. Don't particularly want to mash up any bolts by accident (all looks original from 2001, no wonder its hard going...!) and I've heard about the bolts breaking...

    Hybrid Racing Detent Springs

    Thinking on I could just remove the mount bracket rather than the mount as well, saw a guide on youtube doing that but it looked like access will be difficult.

    Hybrid Racing Detent Springs

    Great write up, thanks. Halfway through this job at the moment but can't get the top right bolt on the gearbox loose (I think I just need a breaker extension and the arms of a man) or the bolt that mounts the mount to the body closest to the bulkhead (basically the two top right bolts in step...

    Fuel filter change

    Good guide, used it myself. There‘s a fuel strainer within the pump housing too, need to open the housing up to replace. Edit - should be pics here; http://www.itr-dc5.club/forum/index.php?/topic/48427-mike9000‘s-2001-cw-dc5/?p=488309

    Fitting a mugen rear strut brace

    Really unhelpful but my car came with the panels pre-cut and with the bolts and trim rubber in place. Just without the brace lol. If you need pics just let me know!

    Gearbox Solid shifter bushes (Tegiwa in this case)

    Good to hear. I have all of the springs, just waiting on the shifter bush. I need to cavity wax the whole rear so I‘ll probably take some time off work to get it all done once the kids are back in school!

    Transmission oil change

    I used a hand syphon pump to fill mine. One end in the new oil bottle and the other in the fill hole. Happy days. Same on the DC2 :-)
