you can get a nice alfa GTV for a good price these days with less then 100,000 miles on it

trying to work it out. last time i bought 5l of oil from you was 6th of june, i nearly finished it off now, have just under a litre. i probably been doing about 500miles a week. so thats about 7 weeks, 3500miles and nearly 5l of oil

Brilliant mate, i'm really starting to like the grey ones, infact they seem to look so good in nearly every colour 8)

its done 165,000 miles now and hasn't had much if anything done to the engine, its all as it came still. i do seem to get through a lot of oil, but i do also do alot of miles. so if i order that oil you mentioned and the recommended filter from opie oils will that be alright, or should i get a VW filter. do i need to flush the engine before switching oil? will i need any special tools to do oil? am also not sure if gearbox oil has been changed for a while, is that easy to do? got so many questions :lol: have decided to start servicing it myself now and never done it before.

lmao, i decide today i need more oil and miss the offer by 11hrs :lol: how do i know which oil filter i need for my car? i sure i read there's a few different sorts for a VR. am thinking of changing oil, and not using the sikolene pro S anymore, just because i get through too much and its getting expensive for me :lol: what could i use instead? i used to use VW stuff but i have to drive a 40miles trip to buy some

run out of petrol? :lol: had to ask

skirts? are you sure? :(

had it done to mine once, just don't leave it on too long or the lumps of potato are really hard to clean off

lovely, i have found a set of those rims locally that i could buy, they on a vw transporter at the mo, looks like he has spacers or some type of adapters on them. how do you find out if they fit? :lol:

looks very tidy and straight, you can get more shine than that from classic green btw :tongue:

renewal just came through the door, not sure i want to stick with direct line anymore they seem too expensive. just to protect my NCB costs £70 :! i know there are a few people advertising on here, also does martinb with the yellow 16v still work in insurance. i think i had his number at one point but left it too late.

this is a corsa arch, they suffer real bad from it. i used to have a corsa :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9IdRYH0 ... re=related

i've also heard peanut butter works, but never tried it :lol:

they have spelt Corrado wrong on your fuel cap :!

this is what folks do on their corsas just run over it with a heatgun

this stuff, from carlack http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-am ... d_348.html

theres a much better one out now, can't rememeber the name of it tho :lol: i'll go look

awesome stuff, i only just read it, certainly lots of work there, can't wait to see it progress. :clap:

hammerite should be fine, might be worth getting a fresh tin of hammerite smooth as i find after a while it goes like gooey tar in the tin could always spray them first with a rust protection primer, i think halfords do a zinc one

its not something daft like immobiliser is it?

the late spring plates don't work with the weitec springs, it just falls through them

nice, lovely colour and condition, in your 1st pic the bonnet bulge looks massive :! is that just the photo?

i have a set of the seals etc bought for late mk3 golf vr, i said highline to them as well in the store, so they are the 288's i added some info here http://www.vagweb.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7234 :D

link doesn't work?

people on here told me when i was doing mine that its fine to use the early spring plate/cap with the late top mount, but i guess thats what you have at the moment
