maybe we could have awards for best original car best modified bodywork best modified engine/drivetrain best engine transplant most bhp best interior ect and maybe the winners of each category could permanently display the award in their sig or below their avatar

some dealers try to con you into buying all the bits seperately but to quote jimsg60 2x Lupo GTI wiper arm and blade kits (part no. V6X2 998 406) £17.36+VAT from VAG Thats all you need. 2 of those. Job done. they tried to sell me all the bits seperately at first but after hastling them they finally got some for me :roll: one of the parts guy's suggested that he could order the kits and sell them seperately for more :mad:

she has actually been in a couple of proper porn films :pukeright: talk about special interest :lol:

lancia stratos has to be one of my favourite top ten cars

surely you could fit a couple of micro switches to the shift mech to ensure its in neutral, a couple on top of the gear box and a couple inside on the lever just to be sure if i where to have a remote starter i would probably use an infra red remote so i would have to be able to see the car to start it just in case anything did go wrong. there are about 3 miles of 30 mph roads from my house before i get to the bypass and get to open her up so the engine is usually up to temp when i went to visit my brother in canada i noticed a lot of cars with a large two pole connector on the front, when i asked him what it was he said its for an engine warmer as the temp get quite low out there some people leave the car plugged in and it keeps it nice and warm 8) some use a imersion heater style system with a flexible heater cable that you insert into the radiator and others use a heated water pump that keeps circulating warm coolant around the system 8)

just bought one of these to do my g60 it is a damn site quicker than the old two person technique 8) i had to up the pressure to about 30 psi to get the old fluid flowing and was given a tip from a mate to put a cable tie around the fluid resevoir and master cylinder as he had seen them pop off before :wink: if the fluid dosnt seem to start moving you can try slowly presing the brake pedal and slowly releasing it which should get it flowing also if your nipples havnt been touched for a while soak them in some plus gas or wd for a while or you might end up snapping one like i did :oops: hth

rm's are splitties, i thought the standard ones where rz's

with most insurance companies you just pay a 50 quid excess and it dosnt effect your premium mine has a small circular crack just outside the wiped area which passed the mot but the rac windscreen bloke said they would change it under the insurance so its booked in for next week does anyone know if they supply a new rubber trim when they fit the screen?

it would probably be cheaper to change to a different insurance company :wink:

cheque is in the post 8)

tell them you where unsure who was driving the vehicle at that point in time and could they provide any photographic evidence to help identify the driver, if they cant or the evidence cant identify you as the driver then fight it, as they shouldnt prosecute you with no evidence, they will often try and bully you into taking the blame but without proof they cant. there are a few sites on the net helping drivers to find loopholes or other ways to avoid prosecution have a look around. i dont see anything wrong with trying to get out of it as i personally know of at least two coppers who repeatedly speed while off duty on a daily basis and one other who drink drives back from the pub every friday and saturday night (usually 6/7 pints within the space of a couple of hours :mad: )

not much point checking the heat shield then :lol: its the cat heatshield that rattles :oops: sometimes the handbrake cable can rub on the rear tyres check for leaks in the exhaust where its joined, sometimes a small hole can sound like a ticking or rattling

cat heat shields have a habit of rattling loose if the heatshield, brackets or bolts are knackered just chuck the heat shield :wink: if you check the shield and it seems ok and cant find any other visable cause it could be a knackered cat :( hth

there have been solutions posted for this, something to do with releasing the catches from under the car, try searching on the forum for "stuck bonnet" us=hood uk=bonnet

if they had of just said no, the next question would have been "why not" and they would have to give the reasons anyway :wink:

could be the clutch master or slave cylinder has the brake/clutch fluid level dropped?

yep the difference is quite noticable in these temperature isnt it typical though lower temps=more power but less grip to take advantage of it are these the sort of gains you get with a fmic??

usually different coloured emissions from the exhaust are white = steam (just normal moisture but if more serious, head gasket failure, internal coolant leak) black = fuel (running rich, overfueling) blue = oil (worn valve guides, worn rings/bores, head gasket failure to oilway or other internal oil leak) there are other causes for the above but white is usually allways steam and not smoke so if you are not loosing coolant you should be ok

Jabba use there own chips... yeah they get them from old furguson top loading video players :lol:

think i will be placing an order in the next couple of days then thats a bargain 8) will be fitting an oil cooler on the weekend is there anything else i need to do before i fit the chip and pulley :?:

it does warn against using it neat on the g12+ bottle,its says something like dont exceed the 40% g12+ 60% water mix or it will impede the performance of the antifreeze

would also be interested in a price and what is included 8)

you lucky lucky ba****d :lol: just finnished re-building a mates alfa engine after the cambelt snapped he managed to bend all 16valves :shock:

nice to see your driving the hire car like its supposed to be driven 8) :lol:

you could still do that on polo's up until the current model just need a bump start and away you go :lol: might still be the same but it didnt work at the motor show :wink:
