Whoa! :shock: Didn't see those posts while I was making pretty pictures :oops: Er, if that piece has broken, then you won't get any front/back movement from the gearstick into the gearbox, so you have probably lost all gears... :sad: Will have a look now on mine - back in a mo! Awww, shoot. *crosses fingers*

And what gears does this mean I've lost? 1&2 as well?

After 10 seconds of looking under the bonnet I found this Guess I should have had a proper look before coming running on here! Another fekking trip to VW. :(

Cheers Prodders, have already got as far as getting everything off after a bit of looking and thinking :wink: , but had hit a brick wall after that. Hopefully the search will help, I can never think of the right words to look for.

Pulling up to my house, I go to reverse to straighten up and nothing, just rolling forwards. First still seems to work, so its not a clutch problem. How easy is it to remove the gearstick trim and have a look? Is it worth it? My housemate is away for the weekend so I'm stuck on my own, so no waggling the gearstick and looking in the engine bay. :( Oh, and no axle stands either. HELP! :brickwall:

Not so bad as long the pedal on the right stays vertical. Just don't boot it. :D Actually, its more painful with the 18s and weitecs - no cushioning. :shaking: Besides I live in deepest darkest south London and rarely drive further in, its pointless given traffic jams, c-charge and the amazing public transport system. Give us a shout about some meets.

Cool, I'm in need of this after a very fat cat walked up my bonnet and onto the sunroof, denting it quite badly.

You only live 5 miles away you lazy git! :lol: Anyway, its what inside that counts. That and she is in desperate need of a clean.

V9, 263s and some naff looking backbox. 2nd gear is scary but fun, 1st is over way too quickly! No charge cooling or water injection? That's really good power :) Indeedy. 8) The 263s and the man from Stealthmonte might have something to do with it. Water injection is coming soon.

Bit like me really. I was a bit too busy driving to take any pics, but here's the figures after proper mapping: 292.8 bhp 255.1 lb/ft :grin:

There's waaay more Vauxhalls and Fords if you look. Tons of chavaliers, festers, disastras and er, escorts. There is also very old gold pug? that looks a bit like a rado. -
Big thanks to Toad for the rear bulb holders. And for waiting a while for me to be able to pay him! Total Legend. :clap:

Time to photoshop flames coming out the exhaust then? Looking nice, you're almost making me wish I had bought that colour.

I blame you, as supermod, you should be constantly touring the country with a baseball bat, checking on our cars to make sure this never happens. :lol: :lol: edit - no offence intended! :grin:

Would love to mate, but Reading is a bit far for me to travel. Perhaps next time I'm going down to Swansea I can stop off on the way. :D How about Crystal Palace? :lol:

Like "The Dog" and his enormous bosom'd wife? What a bunch of mindless cnuts.

Just something about getting Busy with people from Poland. :tumbleweed: I was the capitalisation that threw me. :)

Looking sweet as ever Joe, my red one always looked a hell of a lot better after a bit of tlc. Still liking the steelies too. You need to get some of that spiky stuff they use in train stations for the rafters. Should I make the really obvious joke or not? :shrug: I guess not.

Well if he recommends it, I'm game!

Ok, I concede. :notworthy: I had Charlton Heston on standby too! Charlton_Heston_in_The_Ten_Commandments.jpg[/attachment:14nolzeh] However I'm still building a boat in my back garden just in case.

Are you high? Think about it some more dude. It will be vapour, and not likely to pool in massive quantities on the road. Yeah, most of the time! :rainbowafro: I'm not so sure about that, there will be still some water coming out. Either way, its still chucking way more water into the air than normal. Biblical floods I tell you! :D

Left it with Vince to get this mapped. Shame it took me 4 hours to get home though. I hate pubic (sic) transport!
