Ok sounds good, i only need one wing, got panel damage all the way down passenger side of the car could do with a front bumper also, was just gonna source a wing somewhere else, so if i boughy a pair of wings from the vr6 and fitted them would the bonnet bumper and lights ect need to be changed to line up with the wings?

Wont move at all tried the wrench but it wont move at all, any more ideas before i take a hammer to it?

Ok just tried, it aint budgeing at all, ill try the monkey wrench later, damn its tight.

okay, cool ill try that in a bit then thanx for the quick replys guys, erm will i be able to keep the gear gater ect for my new gear know got myself one of those chrome golf balls off awesome gti.

Anyone know how to get the standard gear knob off? i got a new one to go on and cant get the other one to budge its a 1990 1.8 16v. cheers

Had a water leak on my car 1.8 16v, later found out it was down to a split pipe but i remember my dad saying that it could be the water bottle cap could be knackered as in not holding pressure said to check it by putting an empty bottle somwhere in engine bay and putting over flow pipe from water bottle into empty bottle, if any water shows in empty water bottle then your caps knackered, failing that could be your head gasket on its way out.

Hiya guys, ok just got a new power steering pump and when i tried to fit it the flange type shaft that the pully mounts on to sticks out about 1/2 inch more than the original so cant get the V belt on, soooooo does anyone know if its possible and if so how do i get the shaft/flange off the motors to swap over? thanx in advance.

Hahahaha that made me laff, what next? angle grinder on steel wheels to make em look like alloys?

Well i heard a story bout a woman who seen a TV priced at £10 or summit in a supermarket which was supposed to be £100 she kicked up a fuss and got the tele for £10 think theres must be summit you can do.

Beat this Vauxhall Astra Turbo Diesel, the car was about 1 year old at the time, i was only 17

Do u think his insurance covered track days, that would be one expensive mistake if it didnt, wonder what his insurance will be next year?

ok thanx for the advice guys anyone know any very good bodyshops in the northeast?

Yeah i know what your getting at but they wont go through insurance they know there insurance will go right up and im sure they pay a fair packet already, ill try get as much outta them as i can, im still not sure what i want to do yet, i just feel pi*sed off, if i was to claim for whiplash i would need to goto the hospital and have them check me over and see if i have suffered from it.

Sills are ok, just along the middles section i think, i would want to bother trying to knock that pannel out i dont think it could be done well enough to keep me happy may jast replace all the pannels, uploading day time pics now.

Didnt get no witnesses or police to come, but it was clear he was in the wrong he pulled into my lane without checking mirors or signaling, and im sure the highway code or whatever states u must signal and then check if its clear before pulling out, he needed to be in my lane to get to where he was going so its obvious that he just didnt look behind him, i think the reason he didnt look is cos i pulled out of a junction at a roundabout and started to accelerate up the road in the outside lane when hed gone straight over the roundabout it was clear behind him the dumb sh*t didnt think that i might have pulled out of the junction and started to ovetake, im gonna try get as much as possible out of them, what kinda things should i say to them to acheive that?

Hmmm maybe he clearly wasnt watching the road, he moved into my lane without indacating or checking mirrors, i was on his side so not his blind side, maybe he was driving 2 long, if they play up im going through insurance and claiming loss of earnings and whiplash as well.

Ok been on the phone to the lorry company the guy was drving for, they asked me what i wanted i said a new corrado, he said hes gonna have a word with his manager, i told him what happened and he called his driver a wa*ker figured out last night he was coming into my lane cos there was a roundabout up ahead and he also needed to be in the right hand lane so without looking or signaling he moved over into my lane while i was there andf sqashed me, so looks like they wanna settle outside of insurance which i suppose saves me getting increased premiums over someone elses mistake how much should i ask for?, book price is £2090.

oh yeah i got his details, and he pretty much admitted he was in the wrong i think he was asleep or sumit there was no reason for him to be in my lane he just drifted over then crunch, got out and said oh sorry mate, fuking tw*t :mad:

Book price on my car for A1 with 120k miles is £2090, its was A1 and had 122k on the clock so hoping it will be repaired if it dont im gonna hunt down that lorry driver and kick his ass.

Ok guys just happened 2 mins ago is it a right off or are the insurance company gonna repair it? any ideas?, lorry driver came over into my lane right over till i was scrapeing the kerb and went down the side of me, i feel like sh*t now not hurt just h8 the fact my new car is f***** which id saved months for and wanted since they where introduced anyway heres the pics.

Just been browseing through this post, are you still taking people andy? just wondering are we getting custom dials made for the forum or using the ones from the first page? just id like some for my C but want em to look like the originals (7000rpm red line - 160mph clocks ect) only in white not black, look really smart

http://www.nwlink.com/~vdb/vw/Electrical/mfa.test read bout it ages ago went looking today and came up with this.

Maybe its summit to do with the fact you live in spain, :lol:

Yeah phone around youd be stupid not to, think of it like insurance, you never take the first quote, ive heard a lot of ppl pay £1500 for LPG and thats been over the years i would have thought it would have got a bit cheaper with poppularity, bear in mind u want dual fuel just running gas will f*ck your engine as it doesnt lubricate inside the engine so the incresed wear will have you eating through cylinder heads, basically it means use gas all u want but every now and then put normalk fuel in the engine.

you can do it while corrado hunting i found one for sale that had been converted to LPG at the cost of £1500 i think
