  1. I had no choice in the matter, I broke the car once the mot ran out.
  2. It was CAT N (non structural), CAT S is structural. £1500 or £1350 and I kept the salvage, dented bumper, scratched grill and bonnet for an 03 plate Golf TDi estate. I travelled 200 miles for a pair of classic green front wings for one of my Corrados, even further for a spare engine.
  3. I had a non fault accident last year, the car stayed with me and I bought it back for 10% of the pre accident valuation. They inspected the car on my drive and I made the decision to keep the golf there and then. If the jeep is ok to drive bide your time and source panels in the correct colour, even if you have to drive 100s of miles to collect them you’ll be quids in.

    ABS fault codes

    There are people on this forum who've had there units returned to them after being charged the initial testing fee and the units deemed unrepairable. BBA are doing their best, ultimately it will depend on how many used spares they can get hold of and how profitable the repair is

    ABS fault codes

    As I understand it spares are unavailable for the pumps, BBA cannibalise old units and reflow the solder joints to produce a Frankenstein, so there's no guarantee they can repair either of your units.

    The wiring should just be long enough to unplug and reconnect to your spare unit, then you can scan again
  7. Check your under bonnet fuseboxes - link because tapatalk doesn't work and posting pics is a nightmare without it https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/461268-2010-octavia-lighting-issue/#comment-5180205 My own car

    Shrick VGI advice

    Its the clutch slave (not brake, not being pedantic, just trying to stop confusion for the OP)
  9. Could be an air leak? Check all vacuum piping around the engine bay going too / from the manifold etc for splits etc allowing air to enter the engine when the throttle is closed

    Speedline 16"

    I have a set of those I started to strip for refurb, someone had previously done them and stripped the splines on the bolts, others had sheared and had the heads of the bolts glued in...…. I also own 2 brand new ones... I have a couple of sets of 5 x 100 Subaru 16s (OZs and unknown make) that will require spacers for the centre bore and offset. 16 Compomotive THs, 17 BBS RCs, 17 ABT A23s, a spare set of solitudes, 2 spare speedos. Recently sold S3 Avus 17s, 16 Montreal 2s, Audi TT 16 mini comps, 18 TT RS4s, A5 18s and Rangerover 19s To quote my Mrs, "You've bought more wheels!"
  11. Never any issues with explorer on laptop or safari ipad / phone. The forum is on a slow decline for sure
  12. Yes, the pads should just pull out with your fingers, the fact that the handbrake lever will move suggests the piston is not seized. Don’t press the pedal with the Caliper off the pads Also check the Caliper slides move in and out freely
  13. Check the pads aren't jammed in the carriers, not cleaned up by the fitter before installing new pads.

  15. Its important to install them correctly, once refitted hold the wheel at 3 and 9 o'clock and rock it side to side, if there's no play its too tight and any grease will be squeegeed away and the bearings will score the races leading to premature failure.

  17. Is the Touareg an in-line engine? Auto too? Is the engine ecu also used for the tranny? Mk4 gearbox will have the engine revving it’s nuts off because for the smaller rolling circumference of the Corrado tyres in comparison to the Jetta. If the above is correct you’re doing it the hard way

  20. Non of my business, but you'll find a good condition rear seat much easily than covers with good bolsters, it maybe you just have to bide your time until one comes up for sale near to you. I buy loads of stuff I may want to use in the future if the price is right, both my other half and my new neighbour call me a hoarder, but both take it for granted I'll have the item they need to use or loan.....

  22. Mine took around 20 mins to remove, they don't bleed up well after refitting, so 2 hours to get a decent pedal afterwards
