white smoke is normally a sign of a head gasket failure :shock: ........as long as it was white smoke and not just condensation of course :wink:
-
nope thats not standard Storm equipment..........and if it was......tbh it wouldn't be worth much........as it wasn't specific to VW.........as you would have been able to purchase the Storm one from your local Sony dealer the standard Storm Hi-Fi was a single-slot CD can't remember the name :oops:
-
very true..........in fact if she wanted to she could have got a delivery miles 53 plated pre-reg'd SportKa for under £9k........but as she wanted new she went for a 04 £10k SportKa SE.........as for her V-reg Ka2 we were offered only £2400 for it
-
aint seeing what???.........just drive any Ka with a wee bit of gusto and you'll be pleasantly surprised for the money they are pretty sublime.... i wish :D tho tbh i would pick a different colour than silver on the range-rover.........anyway .the range-rover is her dad's and in fact where the pics were taken is in fact her folks house too :wink:
-
LOL funny that everyone mistakes that for an exhaust.................its only a reversing light :wink: .........for it being a warm-ish hatch ok tepid hatch.........the exhaust is completely hidden from view
-
well this is her 3rd Ka so i guess she kinda loves them.........and i suppose i do too......there's something about them that somehow appeals to me too.......ok the run of the mill 1.3 aint gonna scare too many people but for the money they're a fair bit of fun in the handling stakes........
-
well she did start off being a hairdresser but gave that up when she was 18.........she's an admin secretary :wink:
-
well here it is too........ive had a few miles solo in it too.............goes pretty well i must admit :wink:
-
yip correctomundo...........guess the convertible sibling gave the game away just ever so slightly :wink:
-
ahh but i can see her long term game plan............only 5 years til she's old enough to drive........guess what car she'll be wanting :twisted: :lol: :lol:
-
thing tho kev.....if it was out then why is he getting pretty decent at the wheel figures????????
-
well the missus got her new motah today......must admit i'd been quite looking forward to it too.............can anyone guess what it is yet :D 1.6 SOHC 94bhp 0-60 under 10 secs 108mph top speed relatively rarer than its convertible sibling 16inch alloys as standard A/C Leather seats too
-
by the looks of it if yer VR is giving 152bhp @ the wheels then i can't see it only having 170-ish at the flywheel
-
something not quite right there.............only 19bhp transmission/drag losses :? :? :? :? :? ...........152bhp @ the wheels is pretty decent for most VR6's
-
i think the cheapest ive heard quoted by a garage was £1000 :wink:
-
thats the one! :wink: now sorry if this seems like i'm having a go at you etc please believe me i'm not :wink: anyway back to the fiat coupe cam-belt change.....if it was my motor i would rather have the comeback of a receipted and guarranteed bill........especially when the potential for F***ing up can cost an arm and a leg+...........
-
sorry we also call them homers up here think they're maybe called foreigners down your way :lol: :lol: :lol: ..................ie a nice cheap....*cough*.ahem non-VAT bill type idea :wink:
-
so was it done as a casher type idea????? or did you have a proper bill to pay????
-
just like most dealers.......... but my point was whichever garage your quoting to do the cambelt change for £500 isn't going to be exactly the most local for most people so they'll more than likely have to resort to main-dealers.........i'm not even sure if there is a Fiat Specialist up aberdeen way for instance
-
however its a case of finding a Fiat-specialist/garage who wouuld manage to do it for that..........if you go to a FIAT dealer THEY will charge and take the engine out to change the cambelt :wink:
-
the Fiat 20v turbo WILL leave the VR for dead i'm afraid to say........but in the twisties its a diferent story........tbh if its a 944 S2 thats used then that IMHO will be the one to watch
-
just remember and give the forum a good plug :lol:
-
tbh.......going by the above guide and the fact that early rhd C VR's also had the early interior.....the "G60" you test drove has either been retro-fitted with the later dash/door cards or is a later interior facelifted C with a G60 transplant :?:
-
ahhh so you were the lucky one :wink: ..........i was offered the chance with mine......til they found out i was just a tad north of the watford gap :roll: :D
-
funny that.........but neither was i into this modding malarkey.........tbh mine is just subtle mods.....BTW my very first mod was.....a K&N panel filter......so you have been warned :lol: :lol: :lol:
