  1. I knew I had a pic somewhere [emoji23] Only fitted whilst I got new tyres fitted to the speedlines Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I’ll be working weekends Easter onwards, so it will have to be mid week
  3. Unsure of width and ET at this current time but wide and stretched! All tyres are scrap! Only pic of one wheel until a serious individual is found as they’re in my garage loft with poor access (they were never going to be sold!) Faces hand polished Rears original finish and covered in brake dust With them being a motorsport derived wheel there’s lots of room for big brakes (hardly any well in the wheels). No indication if ET or Width on the rear £600 Collection from Crewe Cheshire 10 mins J16 M6 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Need a refurb, one has a dent at the rear of the rim, scruffy as seen Centre bore is larger than VW so needs a locating ring or spigot or bare back if you’re brave! Collection Crewe Cheshire 10 mins J16 M6 £100 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. No worries, plan was to leave it for forum members only for a week then go public on fb for all my stuff.
  6. Uttoxeter is half way? Mac Donald’s (yuk!) or Starbucks?
  7. I seem to remember the Porsche version has an inlet manifold to filter box the opposite way to other VAGs and is a bit more corrado friendly (battery stays under the bonnet?).
  8. 90% of mk1 3.2 TTs were DSG 05 onwards are the higher taxation class (lots of guzzlers have this issue, not just VAG). Complicated engine that loves to throw cam / crank correlation codes (chain stretch or not sometimes) with age. 17748 / 17755 - google them, they’re nearly 20 years old now, so a long way from the new engine in an old car it once was.
  9. 2 cats and 4 lambdas on R32s, most would have had the post cats mapped out and straight piped. your best bet it to chat with your MOT tester as it’s his discretion/ interpretation of the rules etc Pre 1992 doesn’t need a cat, some late registered cars don’t either (NOS ). If your question is around ULEZ, what does a standard R32 class as?
  10. I’m off sick atm, could meet on the a50? Pub near Burnaston

  12. Will get some tomorrow. they’re clean enough tbh
  13. No, around £90 from Gas n Gears of fb
  14. Bought 8 years ago from a forum member and been on a shelf ever since. I’m never going to use them. Given a quick wash, all look perfectly round, we’re resprayed shortly before I bought them 7/8 out of 10 condition wise Collection Crewe Cheshire 10 mins J16 M6 £600 What you see is what you get, 3 polished centres, 4 freshly painted. Forgot the pic [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Currently listed with a plate Co returning me £4K Offers around £2.5k https://www.swiftreg.co.uk/private-number-plate/VRG30S Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. JOB LOT! New boxed Wiseco 83mm pistons ABV Tall block (bottom end and head complete) turns over with a ratchet on the crank bolt, bought off a forum member here, stored by me for 7 years. VR6 gearbox from a car I bought with wrecked engine (should be good) Mk3 16v gearbox - bought as good for its diff (3.65) to go in my VR6 box Hot Golf (Gas n Gears) lightened flywheel 6KG from memory (10KG standard) 02J shift tower - from one of my own cars (known good on removal). Polo shifter, bought as good, should bolt straight to the transmission tunnel in a corrado. All the above was amassed to build an engine / box for my car, it’s never going to happen TBH Collection from Crewe Cheshire 10 mins J16 M6 £1200 (new price of the pistons) Ideal to build an engine / box whilst you still use your car, refit your original if you decide to sell the car on.

  17. I don’t know, never been out of the box. Crasher used to sell them, maybe he could advise? moderate drop on 15s probably ok 16s smooth roads, limited mileage tolerable 17s and rutted and potholed roads you’ll take the bus lol
  18. Bought from Awesome Gti and never been out of the box Collection Crewe Cheshire 10 mins j16 M6 £200 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Yes, try and see if manipulation of the wiring causes the fault to occur. try the passenger door and rear hatch too. 30 year old wiring flexing 1Ks of times leading to obvious cracking of insulation and shorting and less obvious internal wire damage.
  20. Open the drivers door, flip the lock mech around with a screwdriver (so the door is open, lock in closed position. Operate the c/l whilst pushing the concertina wiring protector between body and door to make / break a potential broken wire
  21. Personally I wouldn’t buy it for the position you’re in now. do you have evidence of the damage prior to the repair? cat c, d, s or n?
  22. Any broken wires inside the rubber concertina pipe between body and doors? Rear hatch? sometimes the break is only inside the insulation so needs a gentle pull to expose

    92 VR6 engine ECU

    Well done for perseverance, I think I'd have given up after 2 refusals personally. Make sure the battery / chassis / engine earth is perfect as that's known to divert heavy cranking current through ecu via sensor earths frying ECUs when missing, broken or high resistance.
  24. I've just driven on the M6, lorries shedding huge pieces of frozen snow off their trailers......
