Could I have it in writing please?

Apart from not being able to get a donor steel wheel for the car I am now not able to locate a DIY manual for its maintenance either.

I contacted Haynes with the vehicle details and as it is a 1986 Golf Convertible it doesnt fall into their categories for any manual. This is because Volkswagen didnt make a convertible with a mkII body shell - they used mkI bodies and nailed those onto the mkII everything-else-underneath.

Tonight I am going to attempt to remove the brakes (2xfront, 1xback) with nothing more than guesswork and the memory of changing discs and pads on my T reg Fiesta (thats 1978 T as in ERF420T - I wonder where that car is now!?).

Hopefully pics and update later/tomorrow.
