Thanks for the warnings mate. It all looks pretty supported at the mo. Hoping itl last til monday tho!!

does anybody know any where in coventry or warwickshire that will be able to do this?

just went to fit the wheels to find the center bore is too small. will i have to get a few mm machined off the inside of the wheels? where would i get this done? thanks

just got round to fitting my wheels to find the center bore is too small on the wheels. What can i do am i going to have to machine some off the inside of the wheels? gutted!

Cheers mate will defo keep that in mind!

Will back boxs from other VW's ie MKII's fit without to many issues onto an early valver? need to try and source a new aftermarket backbox.

no mate wasnt me. You do get alot of to$$ers racing up either side of beverley road tho. I saw someone very nearly stack it into a tree whilst approaching the Northumberland road side when he was racing someone on the other side. He mounted the curb drove over the pavement and missed the tree by a few inchs. You could see the tyre marks. Very lucky!

Thanks that was what i was hoping!

Went over a speed bump on the way home from work 2night and my back box just fell off! Is it still ok to drive as i need to get to and from work all week with no time to get it sorted. Thanks

No didnt try swapping them because the yellow wire from the HU wasnt getting any feed from the car, it was going into a blank connection in the plug (if you get what i mean)

Thanks for the above.... the stereo now works. I connected both red and yellow to the same feed. Although now none of the station presets save!

Just a word of warning for all those that have an aftermarket steering wheel fitted. I thought i would check the screws holding the wheel to the boss yesterday because the wheel felt ever so slightly wobbly. only to find every single one of them had become loose! 1 had almost completely unscrewed. I had never even thought about checking them before that but i am very glad i checked them now! When was the last time you checked yours?

The headunit came with a loom. One end that plugs straight into back of headunit and the other end is two connectors. These two connectors fit straight into the the two connectors coming from the car, but when i connect them there is a flash of light from the display and thats it. Its like there isnt enough power going to it which makes me think i maybe need an iso connected inbetween them?! :shrug:

I am just trying to fit a new sony headunit in the car. The wires coming from my car, are they meant to fit straight into the connectors from my stereo or does it have to have an iso lead in-between them. The connectors fit but i have no power to the headunit which makes me think i need an iso cable. Thanks in advance!

It passed. Well pleased with the garage. I was expecting a long list of failures but nothing, just a couple of advisories. :clap: Today is a good day!

balls!! MOT in 1 hour! :mad2:

will it fail the MOT if the passenger door dosnt open from the outside? bloody handels!

I was thinking the sony aswell, it does look nicer and also cheaper!

Iv been on abit of a spending spree today and bought 2 head units. Basically i forgot that i had placed a bid on another unit. Has any one had any experiance with eith of the below units? Which one should i keep and which to sell on? It wont let me add pics so pls clink on google images like JVC KD-LHX501- http://www.forum-auto.com/uploads/20060 ... 15_xx2.jpg or Sony CDX-F7750 - http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/3 ...

Just bought myself some new wheels They are 9j all round with ET15/25 Tyres are 215/40 R16 Will i have any problems running these, iv read i will prob have to get the archs rolled but is the ET correct? The car is currently sitting at standard ride height.

Its in cheylesmore by the daventry road shops, its just down the road so its quite handy. I got the brakes done on my misses megane there and they seemed alright

Iv got an MOT booked for monday morning. :clap: Im taking it to ATS in coventry, has anyone had any experiance with them or any other ATS location as im quite nervous about if itl pass! What can i check/do to help it get through?? thanks

Is anyone running DAB in their car? I am trying to find the best sort of aeriel to use.... exterior window mount...windscreen mount or just a splitter using the original aeriel. Has anyone had any experiance with any of these Thanks

Iv done it! :clap: A rather unconventional way tho. The switch its kinda made of two half so it will split in the middle. I pretty much ripped the half off facing you which left half still attached by the screw. With half ripped off you have a full view of the screw with no gap to squeeze past to un-tighten. Job done!

As the sun has been out the last few days iv found myself working on the C to fix all the little things that had caused it to sit in my garage for the past year. Last one left.....The ignition switch! I had a go last year, spent 4 hours on it but gave up in a mood :mad2: Assuming i achieve the inpossibe and fit the new switch, what checks do i need to do before start the car again, obviously oil level... but will the oil need changing? Iv topped up the G12, what else do i need to do? thanks p.s. after driving my misses megane for the last year i cant wait to drive it again!!
