  1. Is it not on the centre console Jay? I remember something about toffee thinking about moving it.
  2. I'm looking to get tomtom mobile on my M600. Do you have a bluetooth GPS reciever too? Where did you get it from and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? Cheers
  3. Here's one I spotted down my local dealer. (Loving the "two-tone" effect)
  4. Ian, might wanna have a look at DSCF061 above. Doesn't have your usual security added.
  5. Makes a change matey ;) I'd have thought you would of spotted that :D
  6. Not a real 16i though. Had to be a 5 door shell to get the door to work.
  7. Rear wiper hole has been smoothed over. Looking good matey.
  8. Got the car back and my wallet is a bit lighter now. Thats me for another year. Just need to find my V5 document so I can tax it!!!
  9. Dare i suggest the old 3 series beemer? Not the really old one, the one before bangle got his hands on it.
  10. Supposed to be picking the car up today but so far I've not heard anything. Hopefully no news is good news. I'll keep you guys posted. Edit: - Garage has phoned. Car is ready. Picking it up soon and then I can get the bastid taxed for another year.
  11. WHAAAAAAT!!!!!! That cheap???? Didn't spot that was from a dealer matey, good call. There has to be something majorly wrong with it to be for sale at that price? *Off to get prices for sorting out my car before I sell it*
  12. Like these? passat action 4th & 5th down?
  13. He's going to free it up with hopefully the above methods (big hammer is always good). Henny, how is your hunt for passat/a4/avant going? I'm getting myself a diesel and fancy one of the above. Any pointers/tips?
  14. It's going chubbz. Got a price back, not as bad as I thought. £325 and that includes the price of the M.O.T.
  15. Put my car in for it's M.O.T. today. Had a call from the tester and I have a few problems. 1 - Offside rear calliper is buggered. 2 - Hole in exhaust (not a problem) 3 - Brake bias valve is seized 4 - Both rear wheel bearings are shot along with drivers front wheel bearing. 5 - Nearside rear shock is leaking. Main problem is that I'm not sure what type of shocks are on the car. I know that is is lowered using springs and uprated shocks but which type is a mystery. Any ideas as to roughly the cost of getting the above work done? Thanks in advance, Graeme
  16. Thanks Steve. Can you point me in the right direction please?
  17. My G60 has decided to hunt around at idle almost stalling especially when the engine is warmed up. Tonight I disconnected what I think is the blue temp sender but I'm not sure. I've attached a pic below of the (hopefully) blue temp sender. When this was disconnected the car almost stalled and was idling at really low rpm. When reconnected, the idle shot up to normal but was still hunting around. ISV has been cleaned but problem still persists. Any Ideas?
  18. I didn't know you could fit the rocker cover on backwards!!!!! Might solve a little problem I'm having.
  19. Here's mine before I got pulled over and fined and given 3 points. They were only letting through 20% of light.
  20. The device they use has two halves; a light source and a light detector. They are magnetic and stick together between the inside and outside of the window. It doesn't matter how light /dark it is outside, the source is always the same. The contacts are plugged into a little box with a button on it. THe copper presses the button in for about 20 seconds to get a reading. He then take another 2 readings across the window to get an average reading. He then issues you with 3 points and a £60 fine if your windows let in less than 70% light.
  21. I am seriously considering buying a Diesel car as I'm putting too many miles on the rado and I'm spending too much money on petrol every month. So I'm looking at spending £4k maximum on a car. I've been toying with the idea of either a Passat Estate or A4 Avant, however I totally forgot about the A3. I'm just looking for a bit of advice from people who have either owned or currently own a diesel car from the vag stable. It has to be quite roomy (I'm nearly 6ft 5) so please no suggestions of Lupos or such like. Any comments welcome. Thanks in advance, Graeme
