loctite 5699 is best i can get ( silver / gray ). Halfrauds say they have never heard of 900  :-?
as long as the leaflet does'nt lie like a vx dealer then it should do the job  :y



vx dealers are shut till tuesday so i've not got much of a choice on this one, its this weekend or bust. i've got to have a car by tuesday morning or i will loose a shed full of work  :'(

as for the job its self, the rain is bouncing of the road outside at the moment so i'm sat hear with a 4 pack of carling  :y

I used Hylomar Universal Blue on mine as I could not get the black stuff at the time and that was 40K miles ago, no leaks since
