Welcome to OSF.

 

What sort of set up problems are you having?

Welcome along Tam, a South African Mk5 is a cracking thing to have over here. Nice that you've gone manual too, much better to drive than the auto.

Vista asked what set up problems you're having and I don't think you've come back on that yet. If you let us know what it's doing (clutch, gearbox mounts, linkage, pedals, whatever it is), someone on here will probably have been through it. Worth saying which gearbox you've fitted and what engine's in it as well, since that makes a big difference to what's likely to be wrong.

Any more pics of it?
