  1. they are called futuras on this ebay add clicky
  2. Whats the matter gradeAfailure, Fed up with cleaning the 301s? Ill swap em for a set of Speedies? they were put on at the Karmann factory you know.
  3. Wasn't there a TT with those on at e38? think it had a leather engine cover too. Looked good, but the car would need to be dark and low.
  4. Now you are talking. Rats are endangered species as it is, so whatever transplant is possible. Personal opinion is TDi, You have a vr already and it might not be as fun with all that extra weight, so TDi it and have a torque machine with a bit of style.
  5. That is a truely cool search, Must have taken you ages to list all the major features in each pic. Hats off to you sir.

    oil temp?

    What is the engine? The temp sender could be kaput, giving a false reading, but Need more info, have a gander in the search as many people worry about high oil temps and there is loads of good stuff in there.
  7. Gotta say. I used claybar and then step 3 last year and was impressed. But last week I bought some deep gloss polish from Autoglym, ( the one with the black writing) and I was amazed how well she came up. Slapped a coat of stage 3 wax ontop and it is as close to perfect as its going to get this side of a respray.

    leather seats

    Good full sets of leathers go for about 6-700 with door cards dont they? Reckon 400 might be a bit steep if is in tatty condition. bearing in mind that a retrim in fresh cow starts of at about 800.
  9. Blimey thread resurection time. Cheers chap, tho I have made one or two minor changes since I last posted there. Namely a decent set of speedies and touch up on the nasty bumper scuffs.
  10. Sounds like it needs a bit of tinkering to get a permanant feed into it. also the aerial thing is probably the mini amp in the base of the beesting being rusty and shot to bits. There is a load of quick and not so quick fixes if you clicky here. HTH
  11. Red Rado on londonbound M4 about 5:40 tonight, clear rear lenses, but thats all I spotted as going other way.
  12. ZippyVR6.. got the same problem with my VR, what was you fix? More to the point how much? The pump is supposed to prime. It is supposed to make that noise. :D So dont worry about it. Start to worry if you dont hear it, then it is megabucks to sort out. Oh and Dexter. I can highly recomend getting an air filter if you need more noise. I have a K&N but there are loads around and people have discussed at length the merrits of one over another. But It doubles the volume as you pass 4k. 8)
  13. Think Im right in saying that no tinkering is needed after fitting, but the car needs to run on idle for a few mins and then a bit of gentle driving to allow the mfa to reconfigure.
  14. Tasty, she looks good. Reckon the the grind you mention could be the ABS pump pulsing at 7mph or 10 kph. Worried me till someone on here pointed it out. and the stepping out could be bushes as you mention, after all it is probably origional stuff at 75k and is 13 years old.
  15. How much for a set of 4 in speedline sizes? Just about getting to the end of my bridgestone potenzas and looking for something with a bit of wet grip and a good look. Edit: Tell you what, Ill just search google. Pi$$ed posting again.
  16. You just missed out on a bargian. Sold my fox racing alloys for 30 quid with tyres. If you are into TSW you missed out on a treat, they even had stick on VW badges and everything. Seriously though, Not a fan of either, (personaly) Reckon a less attention grabbing wheel would suit a lowered C better, But just my 2p, Cer clunk.
  17. If you buy top gear magazine you will be able to see a completed one :D But cool pics anyway, Guessing you infltrated the security by knocking out the guards and jumping over lazers, then using your high spec Omega watch were able to gain access to the main workshop floor where a few more guards were dispatched with to allow you a clean line of sight of the body pannels. Good work 00 dragon.
  18. Good stuff chap. Im inthe same boat as of recently. I had a clearout of the garage to celebrate and now she is parked on carpet. :D
  19. I also lost all my coolant a while ago. Check all the water pipes inc the ones under the engine / rad. fill her up with water and run on tickover till the temp comes up enough to open the thermostat. once the water is wooshing around you should be able to trace the leak visually. But keep an eye on the temp. and kill it if the temp goes up to much. ie above 100 deg for the water. Also, Not sure what you had done over the weekend but there might be an airlock somewhere which has cleared sucking the excess out of the expansion tank and into the system. HTH
  20. in my experience they all come from de'lice de france or wild bean cafe Edit: liking the new edit function.
  21. Just a quiet thought, What danish products are on muslim shopping lists? I have read through the hackers page as the subject interests me, but it seems to be a thinly veilled threat. and WTF have oem+ done?
