i reckon i should pop round and say hello at some stage fella, i probaly know you or someone your related to :) , ......... hope you get your cooler mate :thumbleft:

i will coming around for sure chris, i`ve sent ya a pm fella :thumbleft:

the stores at peter coopers in southampton have been pretty good recently, i regularly get 10% + as i`m in and out like a fiddlers elbow

it`s nice to hear that you managed to resurrect your c xbones, i remember how pi$$ed you were when it happened :) , good work fella :thumbleft:

hello 200bhp, welcome to the forum fella :thumbleft:

cheers dave, i may well take you up on that fella :thumbleft: , hopefully it will be installed before you decide to go down the svr path so i would be only to happy to offer help and advice, as for going to scotland, i`m just waiting for a paying job to come off so at least i`ll be able to cover the travelling expenses

leave well alone mate.......... unless you like getting turned over :thumbleft:

my mum and dad grew up in different parts of woolston, victoria rd near where you are and up manor rd way, i`ve probaly bumped into you at some stage fella

:lol: oh dear oh dear oh dear, i bet whoever done that must have cacked himself when that fell off the pads :shock: , almost as bad as the stoopid old sod at this vauxhall dealership near me that stuck a robin reliant over a pit ............. think about it......... 3 wheels :lol:

wtf :lol: all this hydrogen injection stuff is like bruce forsythe`s wig ............... it goes over me head :lol:

cheaper and easier to convert to lpg maybe ? ............. what do i know, just a suggestion :scratch:

tricky little beggars then dr_mat, ?

yeah, sounds like it could be something electrical playing up that wouldnt register on the fault collection part of the ecu ??? i`d take a look at the fuel filter perhaps ............. or how about try removing the fuel cap and taking it for a spin, i`ve had the breather in the fuel cap on a car block and the result can be just like you describe, i`ve also had the gauze filter on the pick up pipe in the fuel tank crack and slide up the pipe and partially block off the pipe, worth giving a go before spending any more dollar

that is a scenario i know all about mate, lol i know the area well, it`s my old stamping ground that .... i`m up in hedge end myself, i`ve probaly seen you around at some stage

......... i dont think there is anything i could add to that, lol

would have loved to chris, it`s been ar*e end up in the garage for more months than i`m prepared to admit to, i`m trying to shift work about as much as i can to get the `old girl` somewhere near finished, i`m not lazy, honest :thumbleft:

:lol: :lol:

i`m normally very patient tbh, but i`m getting a bit excited at the prospect of `feeling the force` this little baby is reported to kick out, when it does get fitted and tested i`ll be banging up a thread telling all and sundry :thumbleft:

............ so it`s you that`s been robbing the roof`s of berkshire :lol:

sounds like you got a `real deal` panel man there mate, and they are a dying breed - everyone wants to work in an office in front of a screen thesedays - and i mean no disrepect in that statement, it`s just the way things have gone these days, i`m sure your man will take to the lead real easy :thumbleft:

hello M15 VW, i`m hoping to get it on in the next 3 months, i`m champing at the bit to do it as soon as it gets home but i`ve got to wait till get some serious `me` time :lol: ar*e, i was hoping the same, never mind :) , i appreciate the offer of help mate and i may well take you up on the offer, i`ll expect you be the one over the winning post first, i tend to get little time and i`m too much of an `old` engineer to rush anything :lol: , whereabouts in soton are you based fella ?

hello sharlie1982, i may have a couple of fogs with scabby lenses, as far as i remember, the reflectors are in good nick as the glass was not broken, if you speak to kev haywire he can point you into the right direction with some non gen replacement fog lamp glasses at a reasonable price, i`ll get back to you later when i get the chance to hunt out the old fogs.

... it`s the proper way of repairing body imperfections and used to be the old way of doing things before all this plastic body filler stuff, it involves top preparation and applying the molten lead with a `wooden` paddle and a `tame` flame blow lamp, the lower heat will hopefuly result in minimal distortion ( if any ), you will have to obviously have to remove all the headining etc, if your man has ability then the results can be excellent and it`s one of those `fill and forget` things that`s been done properly as the lead doesnt sink or become pourous, best of luck with it mr therapor :thumbleft:

keep us posted as to your progress fella, i`ll pm you a bit later :thumbleft:
