  1. Same wheels as mine 8) Just wondered if it might be a previous owner
  2. mate, that blue one next to it - got any other pics? don;t remember the number plate by any chance do you?
  3. Where can I get this self amalgamating gubbins from then boss? Halfrauds?
  4. edit - [insert drunken ramblings here] :oops:
  5. Hey guys, sorry to perpetuate another insurance thread. I was just about to take a limited bhp policy (150) with Brentacre @ £550 (i'm 25 with full no claims since I passed '97 - no points - in cardiff) and thought i'd give confused.com a go (even though i hate that guy in the adverts !!!) £320 TPFT (£437 FC) with lower excess and all mods declared - thank you very much Quinn direct. I'm the kind of person who buys no frills insurance to keep the car on the road rather than in fear of write off - it's only worth £1500 so i'm thinking about TPFT and driving carefully seeing as its only a 2.0 :lol: moral is: shop around!!!!!
  6. LMAO that's what I thought when I started reading this thread! :cry:
  7. . :oops: probably would have helped if I put pics of those on then - all done now ^^^ TBH I don;t think it needs it mate, i'd put it on is if theres a danger of the inner wing filling up with crud and there's no drainage though.
  8. that looks spot on Daz, cheers billy boy? WHat is this spria wrap business?
  9. Hi all, The wiring in my engine bay is all over the plce so i'm planning on taking everything off, cleaning it then lagging the wires all up nice and clean/watertight. Was planning on just using a few rolls of insulation tape, just wondering if anyone's had any experience with anything better/more heat resistant.
  10. yeah and how come your avatar is still there? :lol:
  11. Yeah thats right, redcorrado asked, but he asked because that what showed an error on VAG COM when his car is showing similar symptoms. I would imagine it's possible that a faulty knock sensor would retard the timing when not required etc etc. The power loss/flat spot is so predictable that it must be as a result of a failure of some sort (blocked something/broken something), it's just knowing which :lol: Will do all the consumables this weekend and see what we come up with - and i'll keep my phone handy to record that knocking!
  12. I'll have a go Phil - It didn't actually make any noise this morning which is a bit worrying. Having looked at the knock sensors, they look like crap and one has a split casing so I think they might explain the hesitancy, will replace this weekend (are they expensive?) along with fuel filter and I think it's time to lag all the wiring properly while i'm at it lol.
  13. I'll have a proper listen under the bonnet in the morning, thanks so much for your help so far Phil, I have a feeling that it;s a culmination of things making it run crap (fuel filter, timing etc) but i am mostly worried about this new knocking noise.
  14. You are a star phil - thanks. I;ll give em a clean and see how we go. BTW, would a faulty one cause knocking when starting from cold that goes away after a few seconds.?
  15. Here you are Struan mate, paint is looking incredible (could do with a wash though :lol:) are the pics really from a K750i?
  16. Here we are :) - I think I found one (heres-one-surely.jpg) Where's the other one then? also, whereabouts is this cold start blue temp sender?
  17. First topic The coullstar dude bought one (down the bottom)
  18. Hmm. So what to we reckon the "Dream team" is in terms of: 1.Wash (wheels also) 2.Detail 3.Polish
  19. redcorrado - have you had worse than usual fuel economy? edit - [stupid question]oh and would a knocking noise from start that disappears after a few seconds indicate a faulty knock sensor[/stupid question]
  20. Where in the engine bay should that be located? and is it also known as the blue temp sender?
