Henny, who do you use for the respray, I need a scrape sorted on the bonnet and noticed a few scratches on the roof which I will get around to looking at..... Will reedit this post at lunch to add my full list ! Andrew

drop some hints m8? what can we expect? Lippy

bit of a daft question but....since lowering my suspension my zorst has been knocking over bumps etc would replacing these items with shorter (ie less travel) items cure the problem? Cheers Lippy

remember the craze that was extreme ironing? are we starting are own, extreme engine conversions craze.....where next from car parks??!?!?!? hope everything goes well and is running schweet for the RR day at Stealth! Andrew

matthewb1985, nice one!

Gav awesome gti have a 4wd roller http://www.awesome-gti.com - link in the top menu think its about 60 squid tho!! Cheers Andrew

keithmac, cool! how long did it take to fit? Did you do any prep on the engine before strapping the charger on? Take it you used the BBM screw charger? Andrew

that bumper made me drool too! think I need to get my eyebrow spoiler properly matched to my paintwork too! good stuff! looks totally sweet, and charged :turn-l: :afro: Lippy

yeah I was looking at the 16v g60 kit and charger, you done anything similar? bloody hell, it worked out some serious dollar not inc P+P maybe one day................ keep the pics coming mate

where did you source the BBM kit from? direct from BBM US? did you get everything you need or did you have to get stuff made up! Keep us posted, looks a tidy install! Lippy

can't see the point of the car........ :shocked!: first production car to break the 1000 hp barrier, it is massive challenge in itself. Plus, as Henny says, tyres, brakes all the stuff you take for granted needs to be designed from the ground up to take some severe punishment. A lot of work has needed to go into this car, and it *seems* that VW have gone about it the right way with all their testing etc Personally I can't wait for it, its been a long time that an uber car has been released with such uber quality and high aims for success. Pity the closest I will get to it will be evo magazine!

Think Gavin(h100vw) picked one up recently..........he may be able to help you Alex Good luck!

Mwuhahaha! Sorted it......... Woke up at 5.30 this morning, it was still dark! Got outta bed at 6.20, disconnected then reconnected the battery tried the turning over the engine, nothing. I repeated this several times, no avail. Decided that this wasnt going to work and tried a different approach. I found my immob reset button in the glovebox, it had fallen back through on its self into the dash. Tried the engine again, still nothing GRRRR! Next step was to understand why the fobs weren't talking to the the alarm, checked the wiring again, no joy. But I found the switches Gavin mentioned on the alarm housing, there were only two. Therefore, I decided to try the combinations until the fobs worked. Luckily, the first combination I tried worked and a press on the alarm fob locked the car AND the alarm didn't sound - disconnecting the battery must have reset the fault code. I must have knocked one of these switches whilst I was rummaging last night causing the fobs to not work! What a plonker! Anyhew all is well now, enjoyed a hearty drive in this morning. Big Thanks to Gavin for your help! Cheers Andrew

thanks Gavin, I'll let you know how I get on! Andrew

checked the boot light - goes out when I close the boot lid. The status LED has gone out so I can't see what is blinking.............to be honest I didnt realise you could read what it was saying :oops: Will try disconnecting the battery in the morning. I have a immob reset key I think, where does this need to be plugged in to manually reset the immob? (atleast thats what I think this is) Gavin, any help would be appreciated. Andrew

OK my car is now FUBAR! :( Checked the wires to the sensor tonight, seemed like everything OK had a rummage around the back of the dashboard for loose connections again OK. Went to start the car up. The immob won't cancel from the key fob, it worked 3 hrs ago. Have I set off the tamper switch. I NEED this car to move as I am going on holiday on Thursday ARGHHHH! I need to see a manual or info on resetting the sodding thing. Or to be told what I need to do. Going to have another go at it with a torch. Lippy P.S. Also broke my gear knob surround, long story, much swearing!

thinking could also be fuse related..............everything else seems to be OK tho - anyone know the fuse number which could be knacked? is there are fuse in the fuse box which could be causing the problem or is there one in the alarm housing?

**Update** I need help with my alarm........ Unlocked the car to leave for work. When I locked the car in work, after about 5 secs the alarm sounded. Repeated process approx 5 times. Got pissed off and used the central locking (immob still working). Replaced battery on Sunday, as old battery knackered (I hope) - thought the alarm may be being effected by old battery with low voltage. Still doesnt work. Does it need resetting? How can I do this? Could it be a dodgy sensor, where are they and how can I test? Please help, going on holiday on Thurs and need peace of mind that my car is full alarmed on chav proof! Thanks Lippy

quality! sure it will be some interesting reading!

just the 3 - amber gambled.................................didnt see the camera until I saw my rear view mirror light up :( see what happens to the insurance this year........... Lippy

Jay Top work, as many have said before. Sorry I cant make Ed38 to see it in the flesh. If your still moving up north, I would love to see it then. Have a good weekend, hope you dont tire from mega praise! Andrew

think this can also be caused by having a non permanent live to your clocks???

http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default ... ryId=11770 Taken from PistonHeads: Next month, a group of Touring Cars will thunder through the streets of Milton Keynes, the town renowned for its roundabouts and concrete cows. They'll stage a high-speed city centre demonstration on the evening of Thursday 15 September along Avebury Boulevard, from 7.00pm. For over an hour, drivers will demonstrate their cars before tackling a roundabout and returning on the opposite carriageway between MK's Xscape leisure complex and thecentre:mk’s food centre. Spectator viewing for the evening street race is free and the drivers will be available to give autographs outside Xscape. All nine BTCC teams have pledged to field a car. Also running will be a car from the BTCC’s supporting championships, from BMW, Porsche, Renault and Seat. Cars from the BTCC and the support series will also be on display in Middleton Hall at thecentre:mk throughout the day from 9am onwards. Drivers will meet shoppers for autographs and photographs, and tickets for the next BTCC race will also be on sale. The wheeze is designed to publicise the season's penultimate BTCC race meeting on 17-18 September at the nearby Silverstone circuit. Should wake up the cows anyway...

MattWilde, glad you'll be back on the road soon!

cool cheers guys, thought it was likely to be some unfriendly bacteria! Andrew
