  1. May swap for a down at heal Corrado. The Audi is MOTd until August, so major rush to strip it just yet. The Mini Comps were blasted and powder coated 2 years ago and are in nice condition, one rear has since been repainted and a new Michelin tyre fitted 12 months and 5K miles ago
  2. I can see the vid now, reversing lights not on, but if they were would you have been looking right and missed them anyway? Their reversing manoeuvre wasn't excessive was it? Its an unfortunate happening (**** happens), I'd have declared knock for knock at the scene (if they were agreeable) TBH. You could employ a barrister at £200+ per hour?
  3. Admit nothing imo, they work for you, not the other way around. The accident is an awkward one, the other driver has right of way, you have to give way (look right, left, right and proceed if clear) they can reverse if they need too. I can't view the vid either.

  5. 2.4M mower cable, I wonder if this could be used to make one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261598733487
  6. Use photobucket to host your images. http://s22.photobucket.com/ Copy and paste the img url to the forum. Mods will delete the thread unless you price your items
  7. Would you like to provide a link to where this was taken from? Any idea who the guest user (deleted account presumably?) was?
  8. And virtually every 240v appliance has a regulated power supply inside too.
  9. If that was the case the fuel gauge and temp gauge would also jump around? Dashes have a voltage regulator fitted to prevent the voltage differential from battery / alternator charging rates affecting readouts. MK2s had a 3 prong 9V regulator fitted to the rear of the clock for this reason.
  10. The pump is probably seized, disconnect the wiring to the pump and try the starter, if the fuse doesn't blow with the wiring open circuit that points towards the pump being seized.
  11. The thicker pads will only have more friction material bonded to the steel backing plates, so it will only delay what you have now. What type of rear calipers are fitted? Standard, MK4 or maybe other? The only way to make sure the pistons wont eventually pop out of the caliper body is to remove the pistons and measure for all eventualities maximum pad wear, disk wear etc and calculate the amount of piston remains inside the body of the caliper. Maybe a pic of the caliper could give clues to what's going on?
  12. With the handbrake off, grab the handbrake lever and work it too and fro to make the piston protrude further from the caliper body.

  16. The car is currently complete, it's silvery blue in colour, the paint on the front bumper is crazed below,the grill, most likely from a low speed impact. All large items are collection only.
  17. Ewe Ross is the producer of VCDS, Rosstech is his company. I bought mine from gendan.
  18. PM sent, part numbers sent too and I've edited the post above now too
  19. Can you quote me happy on 4 2010 Scirocco wheel centre caps please 3B7 601 171
  20. Even though I paid back on 1 December 2015 under the new regime I've never had the donator status.... Others show as donator, is this due to the old regime or the new?
  21. We bought the above 2 years ago and its always lost coolant, its had timing belt, water pump and radiator and it still loses coolant on long runs. This is typical of head gasket failure on these cars, its now been replaced with a 2010 Scirocco. The car is currently complete and runs well - its the fastest PD diesel we've owned so almost certainly remapped but no paperwork to support this. I thought I'd offer the running gear here first as an engine conversion package before I strip and sell in bits and bobs, its a non air con car so lends itself well to conversion into an older car. Engine with all ancils, 6 speed gearbox, loom, ecu, clocks keys etc etc £400
