I hate the crappy british plates........................... Anyone checked to see if the metal ones from the plateman are acceptable as long as they are gb etc............

See this is what has hacked me off. My plates are the british font, Spacing, colouring and are reflective etc. And were bought as pressed metal uk style plates. So when I go to pay the fine I am going to take them with me and ask exactly what the problem is...........

Hey we are in cornwall. The copper said it started today so prob has only just filtered past the tamar :lol:

Oh bugger. Well according to the friendly gentleman who stopped my wife on the way into work this morning. Today marks the start of a police crackdown on illigal plates, £30 lighter and a warning that if she is stopped agian within 30 days the plates and reg will be consficated.. :( :( I am not flavour of the month eithyer as my old tell them you forgot to take them off and show them the other plates in the boot did not work either :( :( Anyone know where to get some decent looking british plates from :D Tim

Better to do it now than when you are married and the wife finds out :lol: :lol: :lol:

Today Jim................. Sorry wrong show. Though it does feel like I am on a realality tv show sometimes. See how many things can go wrong before you lose your rag....... Well today Fitted new water flange on the front of the head. And gave her a new fill of oil and filter. Tommorow try and get rid of the bloody rattle from the exhaust. If it stops raining for long enough....... :?

Just a quick one. Is it worth having a section on parts that are discontinued from the dealers. Have noticed that more and more parts seem to not be listed anymore. When someone comes across a part that is nla they could post it ion there and a list could be compiled and updated. But then again could be a lot of work as more and more bits are melted down.......... :( List made up from posts, Please dont take this as gospel. Its just been collated from this site and other peoples finding so could be completly wrong :lol: VR6 silver grill badge Rear "storm" badge Early indicators 535 867 551 head lining strip (grey) VR6 Headlight adjusters G60 Clutch master cylinder

Anyone know where I can get one of the Reiger Illuminated gear knobs fron as the website seems to be down. Or does anyone know of any that will fit from another vw. Cheers Tim

Anyone help with the illuminated Knob search???? :lol:

That is what I was thinking. Might could be worth giving a go for the sake of a couple of quid :lol:

Yes it is yours. Demonvw stickers in the rear quarters. It just pulled up at the roundabout outside work. Guy must have thought I was some sort of nutter walking round him to check!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone think the dent remover thingy would be worth a try???

Pretty sure it is living in hayle cornwall now. EDIT After looking at the pics am 110% sure it is yours. TBH exter is only an hour from here. Has black center wheels now. But am 99.99% sure that is the reg/. Was trying to remember if it was off here when I saw it last. Passes by my bar nearly every day. Has club stickers in the rear quarters. Cant remember which one though, but think it was demon........

Mk1 golf 1.6s - T reg polo derby - Y reg toyota hilux - A reg still going as fathers farm workhorse Mk2 golf 1.3 - D reg in beige Mk2 scrirroco 1.8 gti - A reg in silver Mk 2 golf 1.6 - G reg in marroon leaked like a sieve Citreon zx reflex - K reg bought 4 years ago for £200 and only scrapped by parents 6 months ago Mk4 Polo 1.4 16v - 51 Reg missus still hasnt forgiven me for selling it Corrado G60 - F Plate Current Car Mk1 Clipper Cab 2.0 16v - G Plate Wifes car So not that many really. Had a few company cars as well.

Sorry to bump this so soon. But have been brosing ebay.de and there are a few knobs on there that look ok. Was just wondering which will fit the C from the vw range? T

Hey thought I would revive an old thread. Rather than starting a new one. Mine is a bit worn and tatty from over use :lol: But seriously. I am after a new one and the reiger one is appealing. Unfortunally the website seems to have been down since feb 07. There are some on the bay but they look abit naff. Anyone any ideas where I could get a reiger one in blue. Or anyone flogging one to me. Have tried google but to no avail... Help :D

You really know how to make friends dont you :lol: :lol: "reaches for another jumper and maybe a scarf" 8)

cheese/ham :lol: Hopefully Jay.

Manual saab for me..........

Yup second that. I had the same problem. Luckily had a spare door with motor intact. Still took about 2 1/2 hours cursing and swearing.............. :lol:

You would :lol: I was thinking more about tights boxes :?

Pull really hard and curse freeley :lol:

If I put a full tank in and drive as normal. Most of it communting 25 miles a day, (no chance for her to really warm up). I rarely get over 20ish mpg and only get about 280 miles to the tank. Really hurts with the petrol prices at the moment. Hence the experiment in frugal driving :lol: Dont know if it will last much longer. Any idea how boring 55 is.................. :lol: :lol:

Bugger, I still have some way to go :lol: was aiming for 40mpg but bont think I have the patience........ :lol: :lol:

P060108_23.02.JPG[/attachment:9xe0ha29] Boy did that take some effort. 12 mile journey home. Not going above 55. And gentle speed increase with a fair bit of coasting on downhill bits :lol: must get out more :? :?
