Thanks Mum.. :lol: thats okay son, try not to write off the golf as well.......oops, forgot you already did!!

hi, anyone shed some light on this please........when you are at a crossroad and all juntions are give way marked and sign posted, if someone is on your right and already out of the junction going stright accross, and you are going stright on as well......are you supposed to give way to that car on the right????? Asking as this happened to me this morning in the raddo and the dumb Bi**h is trying to say it was my fault and she had right of way, even though I was almost in the middle of the road anbd she could clearly see I had already pulled out? Thanks in advance for the clarification :(

son, had one of these...made of tin foil and glue, forever broken, hit the kerb once very lightly and bent all the subframe.....NOT RECOMMENDED!!

superb......this will be very helpful....thanks :clap:

any chance of a quick.....how to... in idiot terms for this , thanks :D

thats really handy to know...gonna try that this weekend...thanks for that

according to the garage I use, cos it was left in the sun for a few days , the heat buggered up the led display........so its shows random numbers now even the bit below which shows the miles is affected....in order to get it sorted i would have to find another with almost the exact mileage and change the whole clock display...... I found out that it was this last winter as i had it off the road for a while and as it was winter it was cold ....got into the car and the diplay was showing normal as it should.....started the car and slowly as i drove and the car heated up the display went back to the rubbish it has previously..thats when i took it to the garage... i wouldn't worry about it too much...especially with the mileage anyway......if my hubbys golf can do 230k onthe original engine then we've not got a lot to worry about...and thats still running :D

well mines a 92 and its def a fault with the clock...my display is rubbish...as i said the whole thing is messed up with bits showing and wrong numbers, and as i said before the previous owner left it sitting in the hot sum for 2 days and this is what happened, previously it was fine and all adds up to what is on the history etc......and looking at your pic of the clock mine is worse than that is. Just because everyone on here says 'ohh its been clocked!!' you shouldn't take it as said. Displays do go wrong like everything else, and lets be honest here if it had done 200k then you'd be able to tell...I know they can run forever but parts tell a different story as far as I am concerned. When I have mine MOT'd I have to tell them about the display and have photos of the damm thing showing the correct mileage....although have to leave it without running for a few days prior for the display to get back to normal

currently got the G60 original and un-modded golf gti 16v passat estate Vr6 as the family runaround looking for full petrol tanker to keep them running :D Always had vw's.....apart from last yr when had an awesome Bmw 535i...superb but very heavy on juice! Son has had and wrote off 2 dubs..both golfs White golf gti..bought for son then he got a ban so sold it! also owned a gti (5 door when expecting as easier to get kids in) And a Driver was my very first dub Never looked back RADDO IS STILL THE BEST EVER THOU'

HANG ON A MINUTE YOU LOT...WHY DO YOU ALWAYS JUMP TO THE WORST POSSIBLE CONCLUSIONS????? My Raddo according to the clock has done 230,000k!!!! Actually done 100,000k less than this!! The clock worked fine according to previous owner (he had it for a few weeks only)...until he took it to a show and it sat in the hot sun for 2 days...then the clock went haywire. I have all the service history and this shows the car has actually done the 130k it was sold with........ If I leave the car for a while and not run it or use it, the display actually goes back to normal and shows the correct mileage, then when i run it again, slowly it goes back to the wrong mileage. with almost all of the display missing bits.and with the 1 appearing as a partial no 2 Have spoken to a couple of garages about this and was told that excessive heat can cause this......so instead of everyone jumping on the 'sold a clocked car' wagon......maybe this is the simple reason why this has happened.

yeah thats what I'll do when I get rid of the stone chips (bonnet and front of wings) Doing my head in!! thanks again :wave:

no......found a new bonnet and panels but the bloke was unsure of the paint codes (he was in wales, so I couldnt actually see them in person) wanted to see if they were actually Inca blue but was unsure if there was another blue with a hint of purple. Now after looking again at the pics can def see they are not Inca Thanks for saving me a long trip and waste of time and money :D

anyone help please are there any other blue raddo colours apart from Inca blue metallic which shine purple in the light thanks in advance

MOTHER'S DAY TODAY I fixed broken divers door handle....numerous cuts, slashes and hitting pivot pin wiht hammer to get out!! Now fixing the broken spoiler (thanks to hubby), and replacing the whole mech and motor what a fun filled day :D

Ok no worries. All done, despite numerous cuts and slashes, pivot pin refusing to come out (ended up putting screw in other end and knocking it out with a hammer :D ) works perfectly and did it all on my own (if you want something doing get a woman to do it) Now for replacing the spoiler mech and motor (what a wonderful mother's day I'm having) :lol:
