Is there a knack or method to removing gutter trims. I have had vinyl roof fitted by supposedly high end classic car restoration company in central Scotland. They have made a right mess of gutter trims and now deny it was them they have never been removed until now as car still had original vinyl

We replaced the aftermarket electric fuel pump with a proper engine driven mechanical pump but for some reason the original fuel line has been removed and has been replaced with a length of rubber hose that comes up from the off side chassis rail, along the bulkhead behind the engine then along the near side chassis leg in the engine bay and into the pump. Mk4 and Mk5s all have the fuel line running round the suspension cradle. In terms of ease of fitting would it be better to follow the original Mk3 route or use the Mk4/5 route for the fuel pipe?<br /> <br /> Craig he'll probably be in touch to enquire about the servo pipe :thumbup:</p></blockquote>

Thanks mate
