i have the standard springs off my 95 VR6 if you are interested?

nice 8) autotrader rare ;)

failing to stick the vacuum hose back on the schrick with superglue :scratch: :(

why naff? where else would you put them?! :grin: look great though, nothing better than freshly painted bits :D

very nice all that, reading through that list i seem to have done 90% of it as well without really noticing, which is a mixture of good and alarming! :shock:

calipers/carriers £50 discs £70ish pads £60ish goodridge hoses if you get them (6pack for golf vr) £70

yes, late golf vr, buy from bigpants baby on here, standard vag disks, ebc red or ferodo or mintex pads

slidey save-age 8)

hmm, sounds like its keeping you busier than you planned then Leon.. hope you get to the bottom of all of it (or just go for that new engine ;))..

aha, nice one ;)

yeah, whats the deal with that??!!

not normal but not necessarily an issue either, the oil cooler is at the bottom front of the engine and if the seals are knackered then it will weep around there - easy to fix :)

show off! :) just the one, although i keep getting tempted by more...

thought you'd had them all nicked for a moment reading the title! see, its not as bad as it could be!! :D

Nah, i meant on the way back from Snetterton through Bermondsey!

whereas i dont use satnav and try to look at google maps on my phone instead also leading to occasional errors taking people with low cars down streets with high speed bumps :D

agreed Jim, pretty sure the front is a 15 and the back is a 16 at least..

the gold i could handle...! ;)

are they some kind of gruesome photoshop accident?? :norty: they make me feel a bit seasick..!

Ah that's pretty cool, speedlines in 16" would be the perfect choice. How much are they charging if you don't mind me asking? I'm not going to be buying for a little while as I was made redundant a few months ago :( but any help in the meantime is appreciated. Cheers! :wave: may also be interested depending on price..

:gag:

keep trying to resist saying this, but didn't you think about all this before??! ;)

yes, one day! if i have a job and not destitute on the street ;) not this year i shouldn't think though, still try to break up my corrado spending into small enough pieces that i can pretend they were normal maintenance, ahem......

very good point yes..

just for info, in a moment of idle curiosity today, I rang up Vege about recon 24v engines and they said they've never done a 2.8 24v so couldn't give me a price which was a shame.. :( however also rang vince about price to install a 24v and he said it was pretty much no difference between 2.8 and 3.2, mk4 or mk5 engines, all had their pro's and con's which meant that he would generally charge around £2300+vat for install and set up of any of them if you bring the engine and any bits needed. just thought that might be interesting to peeps here.. :salute:
