I was thinking about this the other day - I realised that when I'm on my own i just mumble swearwords endlessly whilst driving - very odd, a bit like i'm giving a tourette-laden description of the journey... "oh here's mr stupid prick in a micra who can't drive, oh and look he's trying to..." etc etc :lol:

Yeah A-Team van for me without a doubt. Also like the 350z from Tokyo Drift, proper weapon. EDIT - details on the 350z

Halfords Pro 62 Pce Socket Set with Ratchet Spanners -

none in any of the Cardiff stores :( So i'll join the queue for a set from Khurrado -
thanks mate - you've been really helpful - it's always worth going through it with others, hopefully I'll find the culprit through resistance testing - if not, will whack a new fuseboard in.
-
were they close together ? Hello mate - no, numbers 11 and 21 I think - but their wiring may be closer within the fusebox?..
-
hmm, once melted, both blades of the fuse are very hot (still not blown), have checked the reistance across the fuse and it's 0, so do we reckon it's an area of high resistance nearby? EDIT - just spotted your last post yalan - will whip it all out tomorrow and check the circuit for areas of high resistance. Just to also back up the low current draw argument, the car hasn't been touched for over a week and battery still fine.
-
quick bump for anyone back from work :)
-
ok the central locking fuse is definitely getting totally unecessarily hot, tried loads of different, non-cheap fuses. With key off, it's drawing 48.2 with the multimeter set to 200mA - would anyone mind nipping out to check what it should be for me? Just whack the multimeter across the fuse terminals. Probs best on an 8v golf or passat. EDIT - i think it's number 21 - runs clock, c/locking, interior lights.
-
Hey all. I've been checking over my new '88 8v passat GT and I've found two melted fuses, not blown, just the plastic has melted off them , anyone had this problem with cheapo fuses or is there something a bit more sinister happening? it's the rear demister and the central locking fuses.
-
it's good value tbh - I made my own out of an offcut but for the hassle, £15 is pretty good
-
I think the writing looks best on the left. Why don't you get a few done with different cars (i.e. 200 aston, 200 porsche, 200 something else)? I did different sets with my company logo in different colours and it always went down well that people could choose their fave.

Definitely two units connected with four allen head bolts

Citroen C5 - whaat a wallowy piece of crap also, a new shape laguna 1.6 - gutless ain't the word

lol just edited my post as you were writing yours

Ariel Atom? EDIT - yep 1998cc - 220bhp - not strictly a production car though i spose
-
ASP swines!
-
Nope, my crank sprocket sheared its key, no doubt due to the bolt working loose over time.
-
light flashing as soon as you start up means there is no coolant - or you have a fault with the sender/wiring. Check for leaks. If no leaks then I would say, like nocrap, to check thermostat - cheap part, easy fix - as a 'stat that's stuck closed will just build up the pressure in the system until either expansion cap valve or heater matrix fails - leading to no coolant...
-
at least those recycling bags come in handy for something :lol: it's exactly what I used when my car was done over a couple of weeks back. This sort of stuff really makes my blood boil - honestly, I'd have rather given em the £30 they'd have got for the speakers, just to save the expense of the windows!! gutted for you mate, hope the insurance sorts/covers it with no worries.
-
Or you could leave the existing headlining in there...
-
I agree, recently done mine. Replace with a passat DX type crank sprocket bolt. And if you're going to separate the two, make a mark where they should line up for when you refit! EDIT - because otherwise your bottom pulley timing marks won't line up.
-
Except car park barriers and toll bridges lol :lol:
-
should sit lovely on ET25 with stretched rubber 8)
-
What do you mean mate? You need some clocks? Or you want to fit R32 clocks to your standard Corrado (what engine)? Or you have an R32 engine and want to fit the clicks in the C dash?
