Wont bw taking any of them now Neil as space on the stand is very limited so pulled out to allow others on the stand instead, will be thare though! :)

Yeah but think its something on the wheel thats missing as it was ok when i moved it from the drive into the garage and now since removing the steering wheel cover it's on constantly! Annoying really! Any ideas? :( EDIT! Just remembered that i have fitted the horns since fitting the slam panel back on so there could be a wire missing near the horns! where the horns are there are 2 plugs on each horn and i have 2 wire's that plug onto each one, should there be an earth wire here too? Is anything missing from the pic? Steering wheel, metal plate with black wire attached, brown wire comes through hole and attaches to metal plate on the steering wheel cover.
-
Would this problem occur if i have the wires the wrong way round on the horns? doing it with the nugget and i think i may have swapped over the wire locations, both are working though. Also is there anythin missing from under the steerintg wheel? I have the wheel itself, then a metal plate with 2 wires then the cover that clips over the top. But when the cover is clipped on if feels too solid as is a spring should be there to push it away from the metal plate to stop it coming into contact. Am Thinking i've misplaced something :/ Any ideas chaps?

Guess it'd be nice to know which car you would use most here then :) Look at the F4 racks too though.
-
Not sure if it'd fit both with the lupo being a bit steeper at the back but i reckon it wouldn't be far away, the F4 short would do both though according to the fit guide. trouble is the fit guide doesnt have a Corrado on it now being a bit older so i based it on a search for an Astra GTC which would be similarshape to the Corrado. Hope that helps! Kip

Superb! :)

Big thanks to Rodmax for sending me the few small bits i was after, good price and sent quickly and well packaged! Thanks Rod. Kip
-
Yep a lot of wonga but these were nearly £400 each were they not? so 4 brand spankers at half price..... If i had it i'd have them like a shot, you cant buy a good second hand set for less than £200 these days then another £200 to refurb them and they are never flawless from my own experience. Not to be controversial but i'm gutted i cant afford them Lol!
-
Kev, yes it is definately linked to your position and how you are postured on the bike, ideally it'd be good to see you sat on it for a better idea but you could be sat too upright. slide the saddle back a little and see how that goes, and reach to the bars could be wrong too so maybe a different length stem. Really hard to sort over the net though! I know what you mean Jim about motivation i really have to have something to aim at and ths week its monsal hill climb on the 9th oct :/ I'd like to own a new car oneday though as it'd be nice to not have to worry about much for a while....
-
Yep two on here and both owners are called James lol!
-
Na Hard men are made in winter :) personally i cant wait for winter to come as thats when i train hard to get fit for Majorca holiday in March, did 2000 miles in 8 weeks last year so will be hoping to hit similar this year too. I know what Jim means about cant be bothered though as i sometimes have to force myself to work on the bike even in the summer as if i have nothing to train for it's hard to get motivated but knowing i have my March trip makes me go out in all weathers and once you're out it only goes through to the skin ;) Scooter is a good idea too.....
-
Am totally feeling what you do right now Buddy. :( really bad news! hope the stupid wench gets whats coming......but she probably wont.

Looking good Graeme? Sorry crap at spelling the Scottish version of your name lol!

Hi All, I need 2 of the buffers (Rubber things that twist into the slam panel) which press against the bonnet when it's closed. Also need a pair of mint early door lock pins, the one that look like golf T's Thanks in advance. Kip ---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ---------- oops

I reckon i'm well into 50k over the last 12 years or so but that include purchase of 3 cars too :/
-
Hi Rod, do you have the 2 bump stops that screw into the slam panel the bonnet presses against when closed? Also a pair of early golf T shaped door lock pins in good conditon, only small bits i know! Kip
-
Try removing the springs then re-fitting them as that worked for me before. ;)
-
Do the ones in question still have the metal spring attached to one side where it clips in? the do flap around a lot if they are missing, it's just a small U shaped clip really. Hope that helps.

Sounds like you'll have a few more points when you drive the VR then chap! Lol!
-
A big thanks to both Timdoc & Purple Tom who i recently bought bits from, all were priced fairly and all very well packaged and delivered quickly! Thanks Fellas :)

2 Boxes from memory. Like the Magnex systems
-
Paul the alien movie, very funny indeed and classic simon pegg, 9/10

Your current system is pretty quiet compared to most others but we have Magnex on both our VR's and they sound a bit more reserved compared to the Milltek systems, trouble is they went out of production a while ago so unless anyone has bought the company and started re-making the system then you may have to go 2nd hand. That said the quality of steel used is far better than what milltek or most others use so will buf up lovely even if it's 10 years old like mine :)
