  1. Well, last year we were only taking photos from the actual month. I think we should see what people come up with. I assume that there will be lots of snow entries for both months?
  2. Well, last time we had a thread for offering pictures, then a voting thread when the month ends. I'll create a December and a January thread now. Same rules as last time.
  3. Yeah, went a hell of a distance, and was fast. Must admit I was a little alarmed at seeing the bonnet used as a sedge as a young lady died up this way last Feb doing exactly the same on a Land Rover bonnet. Slipped so fast and so far she went under a low wire fence :pale: I noticed you had the same sort of fence at the bottom of your hill. Yeah, I forgot about that. The fence is almost unreachable on the sledge, although we were trying to get enough speed up to make it up the other side to the fence :lol: The fence is stock fencing, so will act as a large net. More at risk from the frozen cow sh!t under the snow. Gives you a very sore arse. Started my valver today for the first time in about 2 months :( first turn of the key and she was off. Brakes are well stuck on though, think the worn out front pads (i.e. metal back plates) might have rusted to the disks.
  4. Caroline. I would like to put it in you. X :eek: Dear lord. Bored of Horse and Hound this evening? I'm never bored of H&H. Off to bed. I'm broken. I'll call you tomorrow if I get a chance.
  5. Yeah, went a hell of a distance, and was fast. Sadly that particular bonnet was one I wanted to keep as it wasn't bad, but my sister picked up the wrong one. :lol: It's a really good hill for it. Used to make jumps at the bottom when it snowed before. Would have loved to have tried the snowboard again today, but my mate had to go to work.
  6. Caroline. I would like to put it in you. X
  7. Not an actual corrado this time, but part of one... Click for full size images.
  8. :( Mate, that's rubbish all round. If I can do anything, let me know.
  9. never heard that from my missus :( i hear it all the time from mine :norty: I hear it all the time from Karl's.
  10. Mine. Will sort some better ones out when I get back from work tomorrow.
  11. Yup. Set 2 teeth to marks on the block, lock the cams, chains on, job is done.
  12. Cracked or arcing coil pack maybe. Clean it off and spray with WD40 and see if that helps.

    Best engine mounts

    For a 4 cylinder stick with VW, apart from the gearbox mount, which I've replaced with a GSF Mk2 Diesel item as it's solid rubber.

    Ah, didn't see you'd done it. :tongue:

    Random Question

    Think of the first bit in brackets as turning the function on, then the second turning it off. [word] turns on, [/word] turns off. Same for bold, , Image, , URL,
  16. 2 pin connector, drops down through a hole under the airbox.
  17. There are 2 bolts holding it to the block, if I remember correctly. Access from underneath, 17mm heads I think. Don't know about your other questions though. Sorry!
  18. Cheers dude. Need to learn a lot about photography, just trying to figure out how the thing works at the moment.
  19. I got a new toy over Christmas, a Nikon D3000, and have been playing with the mono setting tonight. I've not washed the VR since the wedding photos...
  20. I'd just get one from the dealer, save having this issue again sooner rather than later...
  21. Looks really good. Is that the thermolastic wrapping you've used on the exhaust?
  22. Yes, have a look here You can find this out for yourself with the search. :wink:
  23. That's the bit! Cheers. I think there's also another drain halfway along the flat section, made from a folded section of metal.
  24. Yeah seems to be consistent with what I am hearing Though again I don't want to drop it too far else it will be completely impractical D: Still, at least both are better than OEM setup :D That's the benefit. My VR is too low right now, I want V1s so I can wind it back up a bit.
