Yeah its pretty straight forward but the only thing is that you have to snip the cable for the speakers as they have VW Connector, and a little bit of electrics/soldering would be very useful, I would be happy to help though.
Focal are extremely good mate!!

Yeahhh, i no. but this one was better. my throttle response is bad. like a 1 secs delay. It must be down on compression or its the throttle body is faulty.

take out the whole throttle body and give it a good clean. this usually improves response when there is a lot of dirt gathered inside.

thanks mate, for your advice, yeah its pretty dirty, but i think it is still the head gasket, but yes i will still clean the body! :)

Update

Just take it to a garage and get them to do a head test takes 5 minutes is an easy job and will give you a straight answer straight away.

nice car mate, looking well 8)

could you tell me how you fitted the electric windows? do you just need to install them and change the door wiring loom ?

or do you need the main wiring loom aswell?

,cheers
