Got this one fixed thanks, had to go into the call logs. Is that the fix you were proposing? Did a hard reboot too, lets see how i get on. Mines V 2.0537.1.7 18-09-05 RM-84 Sorry for hi-jacking Paul.

Same here. Mine's with Orange and they always have slightly different software for their features. Here's some more "quirks".... Ring tone is set to one other than the original Nokia but it switches back to this and my chosen one for no apparent reason. Crashes, runs slow, reboots (apparently a feature :roll:) and when I set the pin on I lose my line 2.

w*nker, sorry to see. Strange to see damage on the bumper and the wing like that, how do you think it happened?

Lookin the danglies Guy, what a find. Silver centres and polished outers with the black bolts gets my vote too!

I don't think this is anything to worry about if all the history tallies with the condition of the car. Traders do HPi checks on cars and are prompted to enter milage, often they'll enter 1 or zero if they don't know it and its logged against the milage history. Guessing that was the case here but entered that. My car shows 200k on hpi from a few years ago, was a typo was in fact 20k :roll: Just go with the condition. Good luck and post pics!

Words leave me. Stunning!

Don't hang about do ya Steve? :wink: Look forward to seeing what you do to it. Amit

you gonna chave it up like you did your C?

Cheers Kev, agree too (moreso for the later interiors). Just have to look at interiors of similar cars (calibra's, preludes) from the same era to see how well the C fairs. Amit

Here's mine

Whats the range of the pressure gauge? 0-5 or 0-10 bar? I've got just the right sender going spare if its 0-10 as used in my valver 9a.

Could be the tyres have worn to pulling left?

The seller knows of its history. Seems like he bought the car in good faith. Is a shame as its a nice colour and with air con.

well that car's now off autotrader and on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4590833418 See questions below too :roll:

Thats a bloody change mate! Come along lovely.

Did early cars have ABS? Look out for engine stamp 9A (2.0 16v) or KR (1.8 16v) in the service book and stamp on the the inside of the rear boot panel. Obvious difference is if you pop the bonnet open on the left hand side closer to the front do you see just the airbox (9A 2.0 16v) or 4 fuel lines that sit over the air box (KR 1.8 16v)? From the spec it definitely sounds like a later car or someone has gone to a lot of trouble to update it.

Great looking piece of kit. I think the front engine mount on the C VR is different to the Golf VR but I'm sure someone can confirm this.

Really sad to see C ownership end this way Chris. Good luck with whatever you decide, was is a sweet C.

.... drinks and forums don't mix! but wtf.... Who remembers the days of the yahoo news group? Who remembers the day the yahoo monthly FAQ was set up? Who remembers the days of Trevor Rice and his gadget infatuation? Who remembers the days of Dom Landino and his every sexual inuendos? Who remembers the days of Alex pose-gil and his atrocious spelling? Who remembers the days of Tom Ingrams RS301'd C? Who remembers the days of Niko posting other than selling something? Who remembers the only 8v anyone ever remembers - Mark Bakers? Who remembers Greg Dawson and his ex-wife Karen :wink: ? Who remembers Kieron and his company car Montego incedent? Who remembers Ray Campbell and his written off C? Who remembers Tony Carter-Inman and his stunning VR and M5? Who remembers Jacquie Bussy (hello boys!!) ? Who remembers Andy Brookes G60 Jet on RM's? Who remembers Markos and his 16v then VR then missing his 16v then GTV? Who remembers Chad and his 16v with RC's that donned my 16v and now Ballys? Who remembers Ron Ashtiani's VSR'd khahi green VR (formally Tom's)? Who remembers when A20 LEE was gbv? Well if you do, it spans back 5 years ago! I think bed is needed.

My mate did call back to tell him and he denied it, while I'm not saying the sellers lying (as Jim states he himself could've been duped) it's worth being cautious.

Hi, the seller of the following car on autotrader claims it has 69k miles but no service records. A call to VW will show it had 103k miles in 2000. Clicky Be warned!! Amit

expensive to insure though. Can't go too wrong with a pug 306.

I rememebr seeing your car for the 1st time in that 2nd pic at AmD rolling road April 2002. Remeber we conveyed up? Where's time gone mate? It was fairly standard then. I've seen it go through all its phases since. It's only ever got better and is one of the nicest C's about and always liked the fact you strived to be different (BTW thought the rims in the 3rd and 4th pic were sh1t but never had heart to tell you :D ) Shame the car had to go so soon after it was almost complete. It is a credit to your hard work good sir. :salute:

yup, full closure.

:oops: Thats about the same he charged my mate.
